Human dimensions in ecosystem management, institutional arrangements in resource management.


Human Values in Recreation Management

Expressions of human values for wildlands are diverse and sometimes discordant. This is true whether the values in question are held by the users or the managers of wildland resources. A primary interest addressed in my research is to document ways in which human value concerns may be addressed through integrated management and regional planning technologies, with special focus on recreation resources.

Other research continues into the sociology of recreation behavior, especially studies of cross-cultural meanings, as well as studies to further refine social research methods applicable to problem solving within the human ecosystem-management context.
