Primary sub-themes:
- Contributions of social science to environmental and natural resource management - How can we integrate ideas from social science and economics with those of the natural and managerial sciences to improve human interactions with natural resources and the environment?
- Planning from community to regional scales - What have we learned about planning frameworks and institutions that can help people live sustainably in a rapidly changing world?
- Landscape implications of social and economic change - How do the dramatic social and economic transformations taking place across the globe affect surrounding natural landscapes, and how can they be effectively managed or mitigated?
- Social and economic implications of landscape change - How do changes in natural landscapes affect social and economic well being, and how can we better understand, predict, and mediate the effects of these changes?
