| Abstract: |
Potential legal and regulatory approaches to reducing fire hazards in the wildland-urban interface are identified, including conventional methods and significant alternatives. Key issues surrounding the principal strategies are discussed, and likely effects on the building process are identified. Questions to be addressed in judging the need for and the desirability of regulatory intervention are also explored. The analysis suggests that traditional legal and regulatory strategies for dealing with such fires will often be less effective in producing change than the power of information, example and evolving standards of good practice. |
