A rather benign sexual culture
Sexuality is clearly a key, if often neglected, dimension for both population and medical geography. The challenge of HIV prevention has given rise to research efforts to understand the pattern and dynamics of sexual lifestyles. This paper reports upon findings from such a study undertaken upon the socio‐sexual lifestyles of youth (18–24 years of age) from factory (low‐income) and university (middle class) social environments in urban Central Jav…
Surfing and Social Theory
Surfing has emerged from ancient roots to become a twenty-first century phenomenon – an ‘alternative’ sport, lifestyle and art form with a global profile and ever-increasing numbers of participants. Drawing on popular surf culture, academic literature and the analytical tools of social theory, this book is the first sustained commentary on the contemporary social and cultural meaning of surfing. Core themes of mind and body, emotions and identity…

The disposal of household waste has become a major problem for all industrialised countries. Public policy has focused on changing household attitudes by information campaigns.

Operationalizing the new concept of sexual and reproductive health in Indonesia
In the 1990s the so-called ‘new politics of family planning’ has entailed the articulation of a comprehensive concept of sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Following ratification of the SRH concept and goals at recent international conferences in Cairo (International Conference on Population and Development) and Beijing (Fourth World Conference on Women), a major issue at present is how governments (and Ministries of Health in particular) tran…

Findings from 18 focus group discussions held with groups of young…
