摘要:

The relationship between social sciences and natural sciences in the natural resource area is explored. Five barriers to joint involvement of the social and natural sciences include the weakness of the social sciences, a perceived illegitimacy of the social sciences, the punishments associated with interdisciplinary research, the lack of disciplinary support structures, and conflicts over power and control.

摘要:

Even though modern technology has eased the burden and reduced some of the risks associated with marine mammal hunting in the Bering Sea, the Yupik‐speaking Eskimos of St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, confront the harsh and threatening Arctic environment in much the same way as their ancestors did 20 centuries ago. These Eskimo hunters still obtain more than two‐thirds of their foodstuffs and a portion of their clothing and tools from naturally occurring species. This article examines the manner in which these Eskimos have organized to capture, distribute, and conserve local natural resources and discusses four potential threats to their social organization: (1) technology and the cash economy, (2) natural population growth, (3) the development of oil and natural gas, and (4) the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act.

摘要:

In recent years, recreation impacts linked to in‐migrating workforces have become a focus of controversy over energy facility siting, particularly in areas proximate to National Parks and Wilderness areas. However, after over a decade of research focused on effects of energy resource development in the western U.S., major questions remain about the nature and extent of impacts on recreation. In this article we review major issues and controversies related to workforce effects on recreation resources, and discuss ways in which the absence of appropriate research has contributed to these controversies. In addition, drawing on data collected in Wyoming and Utah, we present an analysis of recreation preferences and participation patterns among energy industry construction employees. The analysis indicates that recreation impacts may differ substantially from what previous assertions and conventional wisdom have suggested.

摘要:

Individuals subjectively interpret the relationship between the social and physical environments and between themselves on the basis of values and beliefs regarding the proper relationship between these environments. It is on the basis of these interpretations that individuals act when confronted with a proposed environmental change. In this manner, social impacts are frequently created. A case study of a small, agriculturally based community that experienced a sizeable transfer of water from agriculture to energy production is discussed within the context of this perspective. It was evident that competing and conflicting interpretations of the proper relationship between the social and physical environments produced social action, which resulted in social impact. We recommend that social impact assessment investigate the different values and belief systems within a community as these relate specifically to the physical environment and to the subjective interpretations of environmental change that shape social action.

摘要:

Recent studies on the social consequences of rapid energy development in rural areas have tested the social disruption hypothesis with various subgroups of the community and have reported conflicting results. Few studies have focused on young people and fewer have used statewide data. Using statewide data from high school seniors in the rural counties of Utah, this study compared those in counties with rapid growth in energy‐related employment to those in other rural counties in terms of attitudes toward community, attitudes toward family and home, sense of belonging, and degree of involvement in school, church, and community activities. While this study did find some differences in the direction expected based on previous research, these differences are fairly small and are mediated in many instances by other variables, particularly religion and number of places lived.

摘要:

Sociopsychological variables, including attitudes, beliefs, values, and opinions, occupy a central place in emerging social impact assessment methodologies. Despite the attention that these perceptual concepts have received in the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) literature, there is little consensus on how they should be used. Four critical issues influence the utility of attitudes in the SIA process: (1) the location of attitudes in SIA research models, (2) the ubiquitous problem of attitude‐behavior predictability, (3) the “other variables”; problem, and (4) the measurement problem, i.e., the importance of measurement validity, reliability, and scalability.
