Sociotechnology (short for "social technology"〔 (Preview. )〕) is the study of processes on the intersection of society and technology. Vojinović and Abbott define it as "the study of processes in which the social and the technical are indivisibly combined". The term has been attributed to Mario Bunge. He defines it as a grouping of social engineering and management science.〔 (Preview. )〕 He sees it thus as a form of technology, distinguished from other branches of it such as engineering, biotechnology, information technology and general technology. Its goal is to help engineer sociosystems and evaluate their performance, while making use of social science research.〔 In short, sociotechnology can be seen as the creation, modification and maintenance of social systems.〔 Writing on sociotechnical change, Bijker wrote: "Society is not determined by technology, nor is technology determined by society. Both emerge as two sides of the sociotechnical coin." ==See also== *Philosophy of technology *Social shaping of technology *Sociotechnical system *Technological determinism 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sociotechnology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
