It signifies an action undertaken with the specific goal of bringing something under control or establishing rules and order. The verb "säännellä" itself can apply to a wide range of contexts, from economic policies and environmental laws to the adjustment of mechanical devices or even personal behavior. The illative plural form "sääntelemään" specifically highlights this goal-oriented aspect of regulation.
