| Abstract: |
Understanding the relationship of people and fire in America is crucial to how federal agencies respond to wildland fire in the 21st century. An expanded program of social science research is needed for an accurate and comprehensive understanding of the human dimensions of wildland fire. Important research questions need to be addressed, and there are significant opportunities for information sharing among social scientists, wildland fire managers, and others. Careful planning can help focus needed research, increase the use of research results, provide strategies for collaboration, and reduce costs. The purpose of this report is to present an interagency social science research plan for federal wildland fire management. |
