Social Science to Improve Fuels Management: A Synthesis of Research on The Impacts of Wildland Fires on Communities

While the focus of the national project was on the dry inland forests of the Western United States, the research synthesized by the social science teams was not limited geographically. We felt the research question being addressed was more important than the location of the research. In addition, we felt that research addressing the human dimensions of a variety of management objectives is potentially applicable to fuels management. For example, we assumed that information and tools developed in Minnesota to bring together communities and agencies in addressing watershed management collaboratively, across boundaries, are applicable to fuels management.
