| Abstract: |
Human population growth is the root cause of the escalation in the number of wildfires in rural residential areas. Adoption of growth management strategies such as land use controls, land acquisition, the timing and location of public facility improvements, and the use of tax and fee systems can be used to concentrate human settlements. In the long run, stabilization of the national population through changes in federal laws, including an immigration ceiling, will make the problem easier to solve. |
