Abstract
New sanitary systems are an intelligent way to approach wastewater management in the face of demographic and climatic changes. It is also compatible with the emerging paradigm of a resource-oriented management of wastewater. While the general technical applicability of resource-oriented systems has been proven in various projects, the realisation is still on hold. The reasons can be found in several risks for wastewater disposal companies that are linked to the implementation process. Based on an analysis of the general context of an implementation of a new sanitary system in a typical rural area of Eastern Germany, this paper analyses to which extend the implementation of such innovative approaches can be facilitated by the regulation system and which steps need to be taken. According to this aim, risks that can hamper the transformation of the wastewater sector are identified, major administrative controlling mechanisms outlined and depicted in which strategic approach these could be used in order to foster the implementation of resource-oriented sanitary systems. As a result, the feasibility of the implementation of new alternative sanitary systems through the strategic application of the controlling mechanisms is generally proven. However, collaborations of the wastewater sectors with stakeholders of other sectors are required.

Summary
In den vergangenen Jahren haben vielfältige räumliche und gesellschaftliche Veränderungsprozesse die Sicherung der Daseinsvorsorge zunehmend erschwert. Erfordert die Einführung von Neuartigen Sanitärsystemen einen grundlegenden Paradigmenwechsel in der Abwasserwirtschaft – weg von der Entsorgung des Abwassers, wie es bisher im herkömmlichen System erfolgt, hin zu dessen Verwertung. Zudem bedürfen Neuartige Sanitärsysteme der zunehmenden systemischen Vernetzung der Abwasser-, Abfall-, Land- und Energiewirtschaft sowie Modifikationen in den jeweiligen Rechtsbereichen. Transformation der Siedlungswasserwirtschaft – Steuerungsmechanismen im Diskurs ressourcenorientierter Systemansätze am Beispiel von Thüringen schaftlichen Instrumentariums die Einführung von Neuartigen Sanitärsystemen auf Landesebene unterstützt werden kann. In Kapitel 3 werden das für die Modellgemeinde konzipierte Neuartige Sanitärsystem und die Transformationsrisiken erläutert, die dessen Einführung erschweren. In Kapitel 4 wird der Frage nachgegangen, über welche Instrumente die Thüringer Landeswasserbehörden verfügen und wie diese strategisch eingesetzt werden können, um den Transformationsrisiken zu begegnen. Auf dieser Grundlage werden in Kapitel 5 konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet und die Rolle der Raumplanung thematisiert.
