| Abstract: |
What is happening when fire-prevention recommendations, produced by experts, often enforced by law, and followed conscientiously, fail to deliver the promised protection? This question can only be understood by analyzing whole landscapes and multiple issues, an approach landscape architects need to bring to this critical policy debate. What are the unintended consequences of fire-prevention policies in fire-prone ecosystems? |
