“…Development is, according to Capello and Nijkamp (2011), by definition endogenous and is fundamentally dependent on the organization of the territory itself. The endogenous growth of a sector has to do with forces within that segment (among others, leadership, creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship) that command its outcome.…”

This study examines the long‐run relationship between tourism development and economic growth in a small island destination. Determining whether the nature of the relationship is unidirectional or bidirectional provides insightful information as to policies to be implemented. This information is crucial in a resource‐poor environment, such as a small island destination. The study employs an econometric methodology consisting of unit root testing, co‐integration analysis, vector error correction modeling and Granger causality testing. Results confirm the reciprocal hypothesis. The policy implication is that resource allocation supporting both the tourism and tourism‐related industries could benefit both tourism development and economic growth.

“…Both approaches attempt to go beyond the neoclassical economic view in order to better reflect the real world by incorporating an endogenous perspective. This endogenous orientation attempts to open the "black box" of regions by considering those factors and elements that arise and develop within regional space as well as enable the process of self-propelling development (Capello, 2011). Specifically, for the development perspective, the endogenous vision has an intrinsic characteristic.…”

Abstract. The purpose of this special issue is to stimulate research on the interaction between the fields of family business and regional science. Despite their overlapping themes and the high relevance of family firms for many regions, the two academic fields have emerged independently from each other, and little exchange exists. We discuss not only the role family firms play within the region in order to enhance our understanding of the ways family firms may (or may not) contribute to regional economic development but also the effect of socio-spatial and institutional context on firm behavior and performance. The set of empirical and theoretical articles included in this special issue represents an important early step bridging insights between the two fields.2

“…A summary of the most significant regional development theory was published inter alia by Dawkins [8] and Nijkamp and Abreu [9]; Szajnowska-Wysocka [10] and Capello [11]. One of the most comprehensive works on regional planning was published by Friedmann [12].…”

Since 1994 with democratization the national and its underpinning provincial spatial systems in South Africa were subjected to intensive transformation processes and impacts resulting from a changing policy, legislative and planning instrument frameworks. These influences and impacts resulted in important planning and development consequences for strategic transportation, spatial planning and development within all spheres of government.The South African National Spatial System (NSS) consists of nine (9) Provincial Spatial Systems (PSS). These PSS anchor and optimize transportation and spatial planning and development. Due to historic and locational factors, the study area (Gauteng PSS) fulfils a primary role in the growth and development of the national economy (NSS) and its development.The paper is an endeavour to assess the evolution of provincial planning instruments qualitatively to support sustainable development and to link need and potential in terms of national and provincial plans and to reconcile the transformation process in local context.
