Abstract

Sections were chosen for this chapter based on the ‘leftover’ principle. The types of activities described are very different. Some of them are based on the development and use of biological natural resources (fisheries, aquaculture, hunting); others can be categorized as social activities. Engaging in social activities does not create any material products. These activities include recreational activities, sports activities, health services, and ritual activities. Water transfer does not create the products themselves; nevertheless, this type of supplemental activity ensures the possibility of production manufacturing. The types of activities discussed can be grouped based on ‘age’. The most ancient ones are fisheries, hunting, and ritual activities; some time later, military activities and health services appeared. Then, possibly, housing and communal services, recreational activities, sports activities, and aquaculture were introduced. The most recently developed activity is, undoubtedly, space exploration. The importance of some activities is either declining (fisheries, hunting) or rising (aquaculture, recreational activities, sports activities, space exploration).
