Written by and for scholars, planners, and policymakers, Natural
Resource Management: The Human Dimension focuses on issues such as
the publics role in the decision-making processes of ecosystem
management that affect how we use (or abuse) resources. It exposes
the reader to a wide variety of applications of Human Dimensions
Research, as well as to significant issues involved. One of the
greatest needs in natural resource management is for a deeper
understanding of the intricate relationship between humans and the
natural environment. Human Dimensions Research, an
interdisciplinary field involving a broad variety of social science
approaches, seeks to fill this need by providing multidimensional
assessments of peoples’ behavior, attitudes, and expectations
toward natural resources and their uses. Written by and for

our forests and parks to death or paving them over, a better

workable policies that will preserve and protect our natural
resources

Natural landscapes are intricately tied to human health and
well-being. While contemporary lifestyles have caused people to
feel disconnected from the natural environment, this relationship
is now recognized as vitally important, with landscapes
increasingly valued for their stress-reduction, aesthetic, and
restorative benefits. Providing an overview of the history,
theoretical concepts, and individual and societal implications of
human connection to natural landscapes, this book considers natural
landscapes' role as an antidote to our modern, predominantly urban
society. It also delivers: - A robust, research-backed overview of
the intersections between natural landscapes and human health; - A
compendium of applications such as nature-based therapies, urban
greenspaces, and adventure-based programming that promote health
within specific populations of society and individuals; - Due
consideration of crucial factors that can adversely affect health
and landscape, such as climate change. Of critical importance as we
continue to define the role that natural landscapes will play for
future generations, this book should be required reading for policy
makers, urban planners and industry practitioners. It provides a
thorough grounding in understanding the intersections between
health and natural landscapes, and will be a valuable resource for
academicians and students from a broad range of disciplines
including public health, leisure and tourism, environmental
sciences, and geography.

of natural resource management, from a global perspective. It
discusses the challenges facing IREM by examining issues such as
conflict, property rights and the role of science in the management
of natural resource. It also addresses the definition and
application of IREM from several different contexts, including
real-world applications, planning frameworks, and complex systems.
It provides a comprehensive aid in natural resource decision-making
within the context of the real world. "
