Acceptance, Acceptability, and Trust for Sagebrush Restoration Options in the Great Basin: A Longitudinal Perspective

Creator:: Gordon, Ryan, Brunson, Mark W., and Shindler, Bruce
Abstract:: In surveys of residents in three urban and three rural locations in the Great Basin we examined the social acceptability of six management practices showing promise for restoring sagebrush-dominated rangelands. Unlike most studies of range management perceptions that have relied on single measurements, we used longitudinal data from a questionnaire...

Examining fire-prone forest landscapes as coupled human and natural systems

Creator:: Spies, Thomas A., White, Eric M., Kline, Jeffrey D., Fischer, A. Paige, Ager, Alan, Bailey, John, Bolte, John, Koch, Jennifer, Platt, Emily, Olsen, Christine S., Jacobs, Derric, Shindler, Bruce, Steen-Adams, Michelle M., and Hammer, Roger
Abstract:: Fire-prone landscapes are not well studied as coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) and present many challenges for understanding and promoting adaptive behaviors and institutions. Here, we explore how heterogeneity, feedbacks, and external drivers in this type of natural hazard system can lead to complexity and can limit the development...

Longitudinal Social Science Research in Natural Resource Communities: Lessons and Considerations

Creator:: Stidham, Melanie, Olsen, Christine, Toman, Eric, Frederick, Stacey, McCaffrey, Sarah, and Shindler, Bruce
Abstract:: 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...

Public Acceptance of Wildland Fire and Fuel Management: Panel Responses in Seven Locations

Creator:: Toman, Eric, Shindler, Bruce, McCaffrey, Sarah, and Bennett, James
Abstract:: 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...

Policy tools to encourage community-level defensible space in the United States: A tale of six communities

Creator:: Stidham, Melanie, McCaffrey, Sarah, Toman, Eric, and Shindler, Bruce
Abstract:: 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....

Trust: A Planning Guide for Wildfire Agencies and Practitioners—An International Collaboration Drawing on Research and Management Experience in Australia, Canada, and the United States

Creator:: Shindler, Bruce, Olsen, Christine, McCaffrey, Sarah, McFarlane, Bonita, Christianson, Amy, McGee, Tara, Curtis, Allan, and Sharp, Emily
Abstract:: This planning guide is the outcome of an international collaboration of researchers and practitioners/field managers working in communities at risk of wildfire in three countries. Initially, the team of social scientists from Australia, Canada, and the United States utilized the collective research literature to examine factors that influence stakeholder trust....

Social science research related to wildfire management: an overview of recent findings and future research needs

Creator:: McCaffrey, Sarah, Toman, Eric, Stidham, Melanie, and Shindler, Bruce
Abstract:: 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;...

Social science at the wildland-urban interface: 2000-2010 Annotated Bibliography

Creator:: Toman, Eric, Stidham, Melanie, McCaffrey, Sarah, and Shindler, Bruce
Abstract:: 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.

Collaborating for Healthy Forests and Communities: A Guide for Building Partnerships Among Diverse Interests

Creator:: Shindler, Bruce, Gordon, Ryan, McCaffrey, Sarah, and Toman, Eric
Abstract:: 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...

Monitoring and evaluating citizen-agency interactions: a framework developed for adaptive management

Creator:: Shindler, Bruce, Cheek, Kristin Aldred, and Stankey, George H.
Abstract:: As the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management turn toward ecosystem and adaptive models of forest stewardship, they are being called on to develop meaningful and lasting relations with citizens. These new management styles require not only improved strategies for public involvement but also methods to examine the...
