| dc.description.abstract | English: In 2010 the national government actively considered the introduction of a regional development fund to support the objectives of regional development in South Africa. Against this backdrop, this article critically reviews the historical application of regional incentives under apartheid and the recent international application of regional development funds. It is argued that a narrow focus on regional incentive funds represents an element of the 'old' paradigm of regional theory and regional development practices. In addressing the widening imbalances that exist in the space economy of contemporary South Africa it is prudent to link the application of 'regional development funds' to the modern paradigm of regional development planning. Within this framework, the regional development fund is no longer simply an enterprise-oriented fund centred on manufacturing. Instead, the regional fund is re-defined as a channel for supporting wider comprehensive interventions across multiple sectors and targeted to build regional competitiveness. | en_ZA |
| dc.description.abstract | Afrikaans: In 2010 was die bekendstelling van 'n streeksontwikkelingsfonds om die doelwitte van streeksontwikkeling in Suid-Afrika te ondersteun aktief oorweeg deur die nasionale regering. Teen hierdie agtergrond gee hierdie artikel 'n oorsig oor die historiese toepassing van streeksvergoeding onder apartheid en die huidige internasionale toepassing van streeksontwikklingsfondse. Daar word geargumenteer dat 'n klein fokus op streeksvergoedingsfondse 'n element van die 'ou' paradigma van streeksteorie- en streeksontwikklingspraktyke verteenwoordig. In die aanspreek van die wye ongebalanseerdhede wat in die ruimte-ekonomie van kontemporêre Suid-Afrika bestaan, is dit wys om die toepassing van 'streeksontwikklingsfondse' te koppel aan die moderne paradigma van streeksontwikkelingsbeplanning. Binne hierdie raamwerk, is die streeksontwikkelingsfonds nie meer slegs 'n besigheidsgeoriënteerde fonds gesentreerd vir vervaardiging nie. Inteendeel, die streeksfonds is herdefinieer as 'n kanaal om wyer alomvattende ingryping tussen verskeie sektore te ondersteun en word geoormerk om streeksmededinging te bou. | af |
