Abstract:
The research undertaken at national and international level shows the the spatial approaches induce a series of specific aspects in tackling with the concept of sustainable development, wich have an important influence on the content of regional policies. This paper discusses these aspects and entailed influences based on a couple of conceptual models proposed by leading scholars in the field (e.g. van Veen-Groot,Nijkamp, Baggen, van der Knapp, Hansen). The conclusions point to useful lessons for environmental management in relation to regional development.
