Changes in federal agencies panel: human dimensions research and ecosystem management: policy and research implications for recreation research efforts

Abstract

With an increased emphasis being placed on ecosystem management, the importance of Human Dimension Research (HDR) efforts in management and policy formulation are becoming more important. Developing an understanding of the type of management questions and policy needs that can be addressed by human dimension research is becoming increasingly important and timely. This presentation describes some of the changes occurring in natural resource research efforts relative to human dimensions.
