The study is built on Luhmann’s Social Systems Theory and his outline of health as social system.

Transforming Cities : Planning and Preserving in Historic Urban Contexts
No full textThis volume introduces research that highlights connections between historical planning strategies and heritage conservation during transformation processes of European cities in the 19th and 20th centuries. Case studies from various countries, including Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, and the United Kingdom, focus particularly on the period following the Second World War. One of the aims of this volume is to address planning theories and practices of built cultural heritage conservation in the capitalist Western European context as well as parallel developments and urban transformation processes initiated or undertaken by communist and socialist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe. Specific emphasis is placed on the developments in former communist countries by highlighting continuities and discontinuities from the interwar period to the Second World War as well as in the context of the regime changes after 1989. The authors cover a wide range of topics at the intersection of planning history, urban history, historical geography and monument preservation. This volume does not claim to be exhaustive; rather, through an interdisciplinary and transnational lens, it seeks to pave the way for future studies examining the transformation processes of cities

No full textSea Cucumber Stories
No full textSea Cucumber Stories explores multispecies entanglements and ocean worldings, from a sea cucumber perspective. Drawing on environmental, multispecies and ocean anthropology, it enlists the sea cucumber to tell stories of how and why the ocean and its creatures matter to life on our blue planet. The chapters draw on multisited, multimodal and multisensory fieldwork in Tanzania, where the sea cucumber is undergoing interesting transformations, from an ocean creature created by God to a commodity in the global seafood market, farmed for export to China. While breaking new ground in multispecies anthropology, this creative book builds on the author’s earlier work in digital and literary anthropology. Sea cucumber stories are told from an imaginary as well as a scholarly perspective. The sea cucumber is treated as a fellow creature to draw attention to the wonders of multispecies undersea worlds and the troubles of human exploitation of what is perceived as a marine resource.
