Book excerpt: This report reviews the growing literature on the concept of agency-citizen interactions after large wildfires. Because large wildfires have historically occurred at irregular intervals, research from related fields has been reviewed where appropriate. This issue is particularly salient in the West where excess fuel conditions indicate that the large wildfires occurring in many states are expected to continue to be a major problem for forest managers in the coming years. This review focuses on five major themes that emerge from prior research: contextual considerations, barriers and obstacles, uncertainty and perceptions of risk, communication and outreach, and bringing communities together. It offers ideas on how forest managers can interact with stakeholders for planning and restoration activities after a large wildfire. Management implications are included.

Book excerpt: Wildfire management has grown increasingly complex in recent years, particularly in the West and in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) where a steady population growth has resulted in greater risk to people and property. Recent trends suggest the process of recovering from large fires (>100,000 acres) will become increasingly important to forest agencies and communities (National Interagency Fire Center 2007). However, many forest management personnel are ill prepared to cope with the ecological planning and public interactions that follow such events. Agency personnel are called on to make technical decisions regarding fire management and restoration, communicate current and reliable information to community members, and include them in postfire planning (McCool et al. 2006, Taylor et al. 2005). Such circumstances can result in conflicts over management actions that play out in the public arena. Until recently, little research had been conducted in postfire environments. This dissertation helps close that gap by examining citizen-agency interactions in postfire settings. Findings are presented in three manuscripts. The first manuscript synthesizes literature from postfire and related contexts to identify themes associated with citizen-agency interactions that may be useful to managers in postfire settings. Findings suggest interactions are key to citizen trust, acceptance, and overall success of bringing communities together to agree on a course of action. The second manuscript evaluates interviews about postfire communication from citizens and agency personnel in five postfire settings in the western U.S. Results highlight the complexity of communication, and the important role it can play in building trusting relationships. These findings also offer several suggestions for managers faced with planning public outreach in a postfire context. The third manuscript examines survey results from two postfire settings in Oregon. Findings suggest an agency's commitment to long-term interactions with citizens influences citizen trust in the agencies and acceptance of postfire management strategies. There is broad support for postfire management activities (i.e., erosion control, seeding, replanting), though acceptance is dependent on trustworthy relations. Findings from this research indicate that positive citizen-agency relations will need to be developed before a fire occurs if postfire actions are to be timely and supported by local communities.

Book excerpt: Energy from wave and tidal power is a key component of current policies for renewable sources of energy. This book provides the first comprehensive exploration of legal, economic, and social issues related to the emerging ocean energy industry, in particular wave and tidal energy technologies. This industry is rapidly developing, and considerable technical literature has developed around the technology. However, it is shown that challenges relating to regulation and policy are major impediments to industry development, and these aspects have not previously been sufficiently highlighted and studied. The book informs policymakers, industry participants, and researchers of the key issues in this developing field. Ocean energy is considered in the context of the blue economy and an industrialising ocean, and the topics covered include: development of policy (policy instruments, risk and delay in technology development); legal aspects (consenting processes, resource management, impact assessment); human interactions (conflicts, consultation, community benefits); and spatial planning of the marine environment. While offshore wind energy, sited in the oceans but not strictly derived from the ocean, is not the primary focus of the book, there is also discussion of the similarities and differences between offshore wind and wave and tidal power policy dimensions.

Book excerpt: Ecological restoration is a rapidly evolving discipline that is engaged with developing both methodologies and strategies for repairing damaged and polluted ecosystems and environments. During the last decade the rapid pace of climate change coupled with continuing habitat destruction and the spread of non-native species to new habitats has forced restoration ecologists to re-evaluate their goals and the methods they use. This comprehensive handbook brings together an internationally respected group of established and rising experts in the field. The book begins with a description of current practices and the state of knowledge in particular areas of restoration, and then identifies new directions that will help the field achieve increasing levels of future success. Part I provides basic background about ecological and environmental restoration. Part II systematically reviews restoration in key ecosystem types located throughout the world. In Part III, management and policy issues are examined in detail, offering the first comprehensive treatment of policy relevance in the field, while Part IV looks to the future. Ultimately, good ecological restoration depends upon a combination of good science, policy, planning and outreach – all issues that are addressed in this unrivalled volume.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the last ten to fifteen years, the American West has witnessed a substantial increase in wildfire frequency, intensity, and destructiveness. Part of the reason for this development is a considerable increase in forest density and forest fuels due to decades of aggressive fire suppression practiced by the U.S. Forest Service and, to an extent, by other public land agencies. Although the Forest Service has received the most attention (and criticism) for this development, other public land agencies are facing the same sort of problems and must adapt management decisions to deal with them. The recent rash of so-called "mega-fires" throughout the West offers an excellent opportunity to examine how different institutional systems are producing different ways of addressing the problem. Using the Institutional Analysis and Development framework, developed by Elinor Ostrom and her colleagues at Indiana University's Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis, this dissertation presents a comparative examination of the decision-making processes involved in fire planning and management in the U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service, and state trust agencies in the Rocky Mountain West. The project draws largely upon surveys and extensive interviews with fire and fuel officers in these agencies as well as with other actors involved in each agency's wildfire policy arena. For each of these arenas the dissertation examines the formation of fire management objectives, constraints, patterns of interaction among policy actors, and policy outcomes. Fire and fuel officers in these agencies do share many of the same basic objectives concerning fire management and forest health. The different institutions within which they must operate, however, produce different decision-making processes. These processes significantly affect outcome variables including management costs, time expended on projects, and the types of methods used for fire and fuel management

Book excerpt: Years of drought and decades of aggressive fire exclusion have left North American forests at high risk for future catastrophic fires. Forest settings are a magnet for recreational opportunities and for rapidly growing residential developmentputting an increasing number of citizens and their property into the path of wildfires. Recordsetting wildfires initiated the twentyfirst century and motivated the rise to prominence of wildfire on the political agenda, prompting important and farreaching new public policy initiatives. To be effective, these policies must be informed by sciencebut that requires more than just improved knowledge about the physical and biological dynamics of fire and forest ecosystems. Social values, socioeconomic factors, demographic trends, institutional arrangements, and human behavior must also be taken into consideration by the agencies and individuals responsible for wildland fire decision making. The first book to integrate the social science literature on the human dimensions of wildfire, People, Fire, and Forests reviews current studies from this broad, interdisciplinary field and synthesizes them into a rich body of knowledge with practical management implications. Chapters in the book highlight principal findings and common threads in the existing research and identify strengths and gaps. They cover such topics as public perception of wildfire risk, acceptability of fire management policies, and community impacts of wildfire. Designed to make relevant social science information more available and useful to wildfire risk managers and policy makers, People, Fire, and Forests is also intended to encourage and guide further research into wildfire. By exploringthe theoretical and methodological issues surrounding human interactions with wildfire and describing the practical implications of this research, this volume provides an essential resource for students, scholars, and professionals.
