  • While in general planning concerns with social criteria and objectives, the implementation of planning often involves the introduction of new technology to regional/local communities. An important question for successful planning implementation would then be how those social criteria and objectives be integrated into technology selection process. This question leads us to a technology governance/steering problem within the context of planning. This article addresses this problem within the context of public sector planning, by arguing for a socio-technical co-evolutionary approach. By employing the notion of translation that is central in actor-network theory, a model for empirical studies is proposed. Empirical cases are presented from which normative principles for technology governance in public sector planning can be drawn.
