Abstract
If welfare research is to serve as a useful tool for regional welfare planning, a series of methodological developments is necessary. Means and ends in planning must be more closely related by bridging the gap between wellbeing research and welfare state research. Welfare research and planning must have a dual orientation towards growth and distribution and, consequently, address issues of production as well as allocation. Current political reforms are paving the way for local goal-oriented, intersectorial, welfare planning. The renewed interest in place and regional synthesis in geography can be helpful for developing planning strategies. As a demonstration, a model for health planning at the local level is shown.
