Abstract
The aim of this study is to answer the question of whether the new planning culture described in literature has been put into practice in regional development. The study firstly works out the key aspects of a new planning culture by identifying them in the relevant literature. Then these aspects are analysed with the help of own empirical works with regards to the practice of regional development. The article concludes with a statement on the actual presence of a new planning culture in the practice of regional development.

Abstract
The article discusses the potentials of using patterns of regional governance for natural resource management (e.g. water, nature protection, landscape formation). The empirical basis refers to biosphere reserves. After clarifying shortly the main concepts used (regional governance, collective goods, place-making, biosphere reserve) and after summarizing the sparse literature on the subject the article discusses the lead question on the basis of the approach of „actor-centred institutionalism“ (Scharpf). Linking the concept back to empirical findings we come to the conclusion that Regional governance is principally possible and effective if supported by place-identity of regional actors and promotors to channel the resulting powers into collective actions.

Abstract
To the extent in which demographic change and selected resulting problems are considered in public, the specialist terms of demography are also losing their isolation. One such term is “carrying capacity”. Problematic are the multiple connotations with which the respective underlying problem is considered, often depending on the respective viewpoint. Like other terms it is moreover used in several disciplines and to top it all in colloquial language.
This contribution understands itself as an attempt to explain carrying capacity from the perspective of regional demography, to establish linkages and also to follow a historical line. Remarkable is the variety of aspects of the term that can hardly be reconstructed but also its change in terms of content when it is occupied by political language following strategic objectives.
