Synopsis
Written by and for scholars, planners and policymakers, this work focuses on issues such as the public's role in the decision-making processes of ecosystem management that affect how we use (or abuse) resources. It exposes the reader to a wide variety of applications of human dimensions research, as well as to the significant issues involved. One of the greatest needs in natural resource management is for a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between humans and the natural environment. Human dimensions research, an interdisciplinary field involving a broad variety of social science approaches, seeks to fill this need by providing multidimensional assessments of peoples behaviour, attitudes and expectations toward natural resources and their uses.
