In this article we analyze some connections between the ecological and the economic aspects of tourism by investigating ecological awareness among different groups. The article will outline reactions of tourists, residents of ski resorts and the Austrian and Belgian population to the ecological problems arising in winter tourism resorts. It is concluded that the Austrian winter tourism sector will have to take ecological considerations into account so that the economic situation can also be improved.
Illustrating the development, relationships, situation and problems of the sociology of sport in Austria, a chronology is provided of the varied history of the subject from the first steps of Karl Gaulhofer during the 1920s and 1930s to the anthropological foundation and empirical work of the emerging field of sociology of sport 50 years later. In the 1980s there has been a considerable increase in publications on this topic, and we are witnessing the beginning of a "heterogenising phase" of Austrian sociology of sport.
For students and those interested in police sociology, an introductory basic text is now available. In ten chapters, the authors summarise the location of police sociology among academic disciplines, describe the police and their development, and analyse their relationship to the public. They also discuss the role of women and people with immigrant backgrounds in a traditionally male-dominated profession. Research on police sociology, such as dealing with crowds, and personal teaching experiences—of sociology for police officers and police sociology for students at the University of Vienna, for example—conclude the book.
