There are many reasons for building an alliance among agencies and citizens in forest and rangeland communities. In the big picture, the purpose is primarily to reach decisions that are objectively better. Essentially, the quality of decisions is improved by a multi-agency effort that includes a role for citizens and...

The majority of social science research is cross-sectional in nature, with data collected at a single point in time. However, social systems are dynamic and many of the variables of interest to social scientists may change over time. Longitudinal research methods enable data collection at two or more points in...
Wildland fire affects both public and private resources throughout the United States. A century of fire suppression has contributed to changing ecological conditions and accumulated fuel loads. Managers have used a variety of approaches to address these conditions and reduce the likelihood of wildland fires that may result in adverse...
Within the wildland-urban interface (WUI), wildfire risk contains both individual and collective components.
The likelihood that a particular home will be threatened by wildfire in any given year is low, but
at a broader scale the likelihood that a home somewhere in the WUI will be threatened is substantially
higher....
As with other aspects of natural-resource management, the approach to managing wildland fires has evolved
over time as scientific understanding has advanced and the broader context surrounding management decisions has
changed. Prior to 2000 the primary focus of most fire research was on the physical and ecological aspects of fire;...
As part of a larger project funded by the Joint Fire Science Program, this annotated bibliography and accompanying subject area guide were created to support development of a compendium of social science research findings from 2000 – 2010 related to fire-adapted communities. In total, 242 articles were selected for analysis.
