In addition, many fail to pay any attention to some of the most pressing developmental issues which are emerging. This article argues that regional planning in South Africa has always been based on, inter alia, four central pillars (environment, economic development, settlement and service provision), which need to be informed by insights drawn from a number of disciplinary perspectives. It identifies some of the main developmental challenges in each of these disciplinary areas which these plans should be addressing, provides some disciplinaryspecific insights into them, and then demonstrates an integrative approach to link these divergent issues.Afrikaans: ‘n Onlangse ondersoek van ‘n aantal ruimtelike ontwikkelingsraamwerke op ‘n hoër beplanningsvlak (naamlik distrik- en streekskaal) in Suid-Afrika dui daarop dat daar oorweldigende verwarring oor die inhoud van die voorgenome planne bestaan. Bykomend, verwys baie van die planne nie eers na die belangrikste nuwe ontwikkelingsvraagstukke wat onlangs na vore gekom het nie. Die artikel gaan vanaf die standpunt uit dat streeksbeplanning in Suid-Afrika op vier pillare (insluitende omgewingsaspekte, ekonomiese ontwikkeling, nedersettingspatrone en diensteverskaffing) rus. Hierdie aspekte moet belig word vanaf insigte gereflekteer deur ‘n wye aantal dissiplinêre beskouings. So ‘n benadering identifiseer sommige van die belangrikste ontwikkelingsvraagstukke in elkeen van die dissiplines wat aandui wat hierdie planne moet aanspreek, belig sekere dissiplinêr-spesifieke inligting van belang, en verwys na ‘n geïntegreerde benadering om hierdie uiteenlopende sake in noue verband met mekaar te bring.SeSotho: Kamora ho shebana le meralo e mengata ea tswelopele ea moralo ka bophara, e leng ditereke le mabatowa a Afrika Boroa haufinyane, ho bontšahala ho na le pherekano e kholo mabapi le hore na ho be le eng ka hare ho meralo ena.
