Natural resources issues are complex, often emotional, and almost
always political. Efforts to improve natural resources management
practices must take into account the scientific aspects of an issue
plus these other dimensions. This book explains how to address and
resolve the human issues underlying natural resources problems. It
shows how the policy sciences -- a systematic method for analyzing
and proposing solutions -- can be applied to any natural resources
policy and management problem. The policy sciences approach proves
flexible, widely applicable, and useful in developing realistic
alternatives in diverse situations.
The book begins with a discussion of what natural resources are,
how people make decisions about using them, and how the policy
sciences can be used toward improving policy and management
practices. Ten case studies inside and outside the United States
follow. Policy science methods are applied to such problems as
endangered species conservation, urban parks, the development of
energy projects, the relations between national parks and people
who live near them, ecotourism and biodiversity, and the relation
between human rights and environmental conservation in refugee
situations.
