Abstract Wellbeing has become important in regional development policy as decision-makers grapple with delivering public goods from industry exploitation of resource commons. We asked how these differently constituted concepts–‘regional development’ and ‘wellbeing’ – are handled in the literature. We identified four findings: i) an increasing focus on holistic sustainable development in regional development; ii) different approaches for pre-development planning and post-development impact assessment; iii) four key wellbeing components most common in regional development; iv) emergence of mixed methods approaches to investigating wellbeing and regional development. We conclude that synthesising wellbeing and regional development within a carefully designed interdisciplinary approach is required.

区域发展学术中福祉概念的新兴功能：综述

摘要 随着决策者努力通过资源公地的工业开发提供公共产品，福祉在区域发展政策中变得非常重要。我们询问了这些不同构成的概念——“区域发展”和“福祉”——在文献中是如何处理的。我们确定了四项发现：i) 越来越关注区域发展中的整体可持续发展；ii) 开发前规划和开发后影响评估的不同方法；iii) 区域发展中最常见的四个关键福祉组成部分；iv) 调查福祉和区域发展的混合方法的出现。我们得出的结论是，需要在精心设计的跨学科方法中综合福祉和区域发展。
