The transport system as a hybrid reality: an actor-network approach to the analysis of the interaction between the technical, technological and social processes of the city

The article analyzes two versions of system analysis as a methodological tool for studying the transport system of a large city. Attention is paid to such sources of systems thinking as the system-activity theory of T. Parsons and the theory of systems by N. Luhmann. The prospects of using N. Luhmann's theoretical approach to the analysis of the transport system as a set of all social communications, as an autopoietic system, are determined.

Abstract

The article analyzes two versions of system analysis as a methodological tool for studying the transport system of a large city. Attention is paid to such sources of systems thinking as the system-activity theory of T. Parsons and the theory of systems by N. Luhmann. The prospects of using N. Luhmann's theoretical approach to the analysis of the transport system as a set of all social communications, as an autopoietic system, are determined.
