For a metric continuum $X$, let $C(X)$ denote the hyperspace of subcontinua of $X$. For a map $f: X \rightarrow Y$ from a continuum $X$ to a continuum $Y$, let $\hat{f}$ denote the induced map (from $C(X)$ to $C(Y)$ given by $\hat{f}(A) = f(A)$ for all $A \in C(X)$). The authors introduce a new family of mappings -- \textit{weakly Whitney preserving}. The map $f: X \rightarrow Y$ is called \begin{itemize} \item[--] \textit{Whitney preserving} if there exist two Whitney maps $\mu : C(X) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ and $\nu : C(Y) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ such that for every $t \in [0, \mu(X)]$ there exists $s \in [0, \nu(Y)]$ such that $\hat{f}(\mu^{-1}(t))=\nu^{-1}(s)$; \item[--] \textit{weakly Whitney preserving} if $f$ is surjective and there exist two Whitney maps $\mu : C(X) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ and $\nu : C(Y) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ such that for every $t \in [0, \mu(X)]$ there exists $s \in [0, \nu(Y)]$ such that $\hat{f}(\mu^{-1}(t)) \subset \nu^{-1}(s)$. \end{itemize} The authors study the relationships of the class of weakly Whitney preserving maps with other families of mappings such as Whitney preserving, strictly Whitney preserving, strictly weakly Whitney preserving, hereditarily irreducible, arcwise increasing, continuum-wise injective, an Eulerian path, weakly confluent. It is proved that some of these classes are equivalent if maps are defined of special classes of continua -- $D$-continua, irreducible continua, graph-like continua, dendrites.
