This book focuses on current sociological and socioeconomic issues, including recent developments, techniques and strategies within the current socioeconomic development spectrum of the 21st century. More specifically, this book presents a discussion of the planning and designing of a modern sustainable socioeconomic system, adequate for modern societies and communities, analyzing both technical and socio-cultural aspects. Systems that are planned and designed without considering these aspects often limit their efficiency or even fail. On this matter, this book fills a gap in socioeconomic literature by exploring and studying main dimensions of the interaction between some of the most important socioeconomic aspects and related factors (both theoretically and empirically).
