Description

In order to develop a sustainable social and individual resilience in dealing with crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential to jointly determine flexible regulations in relation to common issues. The reactions to subjective, economic and regional changes during the pandemic empirically traced in this study are related to the lifeworld and cultural orientations of the residents. Communities in Styria (Austria) are used as examples to show how communities have coped with the existing supply and infrastructure conditions, and how people in these communities have learned to find a way in the family network, in the neighborhood, in the professional world or in associations, or which aspects were perceived as helpful instruments in the aforementioned lifeworlds.
