Crozier & Luhmann: social theory as a support for a systemic socioterritorial modeling and simulation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper shows how a socioterritorial system could be computationally modeled by means of two social theories, Sociology of Organized Action (SOA) and Social Systems (SS) to study power relations among social actors. It is concluded that both approaches helps the empirical research and that they complement each other, while SOA emphasizes the power relations, the SS focuses on the generative process of communication.

This paper therefore describes the emergence of communication in terms of three improbabilities: (1) co-presence of communication partners, (2) their misunderstanding of each other, and (3) the successful conveyance of information. A framewor...

متن کاملModeling the Relationship between Sense of Place, Social Capital and Tourism Support
The success of tourism development heavily depends on residents’ support. Broader literature suggests sense of place and social capital are important precedents of residents’ attitudes and behavior. However, limited attention has been paid to this topic in tourism, especially in Iran. Therefore, the aim of this research is to examine the relationship between sense of place, social capital and r...
