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.
