\"The development of historical geographical information systems (HGIS) and other methods from the digital humanities have revolutionised historical research on cultural landscapes. One of today's major challenges, however, concerns the concepts and tools to be deployed for mapping processes of transformation - that is, interpreting and imagining the relational complexity of urban and rural landscapes, both in space and in time, at micro- and macro-scale. The opening up of increasingly diverse collections of source material, often incomplete and difficult to interpret, has led to methodologically innovative experiments. 'Mapping Landscapes in Transformation' gathers experts from different disciplines, active in the fields of historical geography, urban and landscape history, and heritage conservation. They are specialised in a wide variety of space-time contexts, including regions within Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and periods from antiquity to the 21st century\"--Page 4 of cover.

This paper analyzes the collapse of the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) through the lens of the Structural Demographic Theory (SDT), a general framework for understanding the drivers of socio-political instability in state-level societies. Although a number of competing ideas for the collapse have been proposed, none provide a comprehensive explanation that incorporates the interaction of all the multiple drivers involved. We argue that the four-fold population explosion peaking in the 19th century, the growing competition for a stagnant number of elite positions, and increasing state fiscal stress combined to produce an increasingly disgruntled populace and elite, leading to significant internal rebellions. We find that while neither the ecological disasters nor the foreign incursions during the 19th century were sufficient on their own to bring down the Qing, when coupled with the rising internal socio-political stresses, they produced a rapid succession of triggering events that culminated in the Qing collapse.

Based on the analysis of the application of the paradigm in the study of history and the characteristics of information technology, this paper expounds the advantages of the paradigm in the study of history in information era. Using the methods of document analysis, content analysis and case study, this paper makes an in-depth analysis concerning the changes of historical research methods brought by information technology. It is believed that the use of information technology makes the framework of historical research more reasonable, the data analysis more accurate, and the protection and display of historical data more intuitive. In addition, the paper explores the promoting effect of the research method on historiography, and this new method is the supplement of the research paradigm of new historiography. paper also discusses the unique advantages of historical research methods such as historical digitization, film and television history, big data technology and quantitative database.

01 02 This book explores heritage from a wide range of perspectives and disciplines and in doing so provides a distinctive and deeply relevant survey of the field as it is currently researched, understood and practiced around the world. Furthermore it establishes and develops through its various sections and chapters an accessible and clearly presented vision of heritage as a cultural process designed for use by students, advance scholars and practitioners alike. This book provides both critical insight and food for thought, directing the reader to key texts in the various aspects of the field and charting a course for future research. 13 02 Emma Waterton is a DECRA Fellow at the University of Western Sydney's Institute for Culture and Society, Australia. Her research explores the interface between heritage, identity, memory and affect. She is author of Politics, Policy and the Discourses of Heritage in Britain (2010, Palgrave Macmillan) and The Semiotics of Heritage Tourism (with Steve Watson; 2014). Steve Watson is Principal Lecturer at York St John University, UK, where he teaches cultural and heritage tourism. His research is concerned primarily with the representation and experience of heritage and he has a particular interest in Spanish travel writing.

Research Summary The last decade has witnessed an increasing interest in the use of history and historical research methods in strategy research. We discuss how and why history and historical research methods can enrich theoretical explanations of strategy phenomena. In addition, we introduce the notions of “history‐informed strategy research,” distinguishing between the dimensions of “history to theory” and “history in theory” and discussing various under‐utilized methods that may further work on history‐informed strategy research. We then discuss how contemporary research contributes to history‐informed research within the strategy field, examine key methodological and empirical challenges associated with such research, and develop an agenda for future research. Managerial Summary Firms are increasingly making use of their historical past as they reflect on their identities and how these can be used strategically. At the same time, strategy researchers are paying increasing to the use of historical research methods, as well as to how firms use history strategically. We take stock on the role of history in strategy research, outline the key strategic issues that can be informed by a historical way of doing research, discuss the available historical methods, and offer suggestions for future research in the history/strategy intersection.

This literature review paper discusses the proper use of qualitative research methodology to discuss several research aspects for the improvement of the readers’ skill. During the last few decades, theuse of qualitative research has been increased in many institutions. It can be used to explore several areas ofhuman behavior for the development of organizations. The purpose of this study is to provide inspirations tothe new researchers for the development of their qualitative articles. The paper analyzes the design ofqualitative research giving some methodological suggestions to make it explicable to the reader. In thispaper, an attempt has been taken to study the background of the qualitative research methodology in socialsciences and some other related subjects, along with the importance, and main features of the study.

Die Analyse sozialen Wandels aus soziohistorischer Perspektive ist eine der am längsten etablierten Strategien des soziologischen Vergleichs. Zahlreiche soziologische Klassiker*innen untersuchten kulturübergreifenden (langfristigen) sozialen Wandel mittels historisch-vergleichender Methodologie, durch welche Unterschiede und Regelmäßigkeiten von Transformationsprozessen in der Gegenwart durch die Rekonstruktion ihrer Vergangenheit zugänglich gemacht werden. Es existiert also ein umfassender historisch-soziologischer Forschungsstand, den Forscher*innen zur Analyse des langfristigen und fundamentalen sozialen Wandels nutzen können, der derzeit zu einer grundlegenden, weltweiten Restrukturierung räumlicher Ordnung führt und als Re-Figuration von Räumen bezeichnet wird. Dennoch wurde die vergleichende Methodologie der historischen Soziologie in der empirischen Analyse der Re-Figuration von Räumen noch nicht angewendet. Stattdessen beschränken sich Re-Figurationsforscher*innen derzeit auf Forschungsdesigns, die sich auf die Gegenwart konzentrieren. Daher schlage ich vor, das methodologische Potenzial der historisch-vergleichenden Sozialforschung für die Analyse der Re-Figuration von Räumen zu nutzen. Ich beginne mit der Diskussion geeigneter historisch-soziologischer Vergleichsstrategien für die Analyse kulturübergreifenden sozialen Wandels und der möglichen Nutzung von Struktureigentümlichkeiten als Vergleichsdimensionen. Anschließend führe ich aus, wie die Re-Figuration von Räumen als langfristiger sozialer Wandel verstanden werden kann. Auf dieser Grundlage skizziere ich eine universell vergleichende, kausal-analytische historisch-soziologische Methodologie für die Re-Figurationsforschung.
