Sustainability for the Forgotten
Sustainability for the Forgotten
"Opening with the extraordinary story of a young French priest working in 1968 amongst impoverished villages of northeast Brazil, struggling to bring sustenance, sustainability, and hope to these disregarded and willfully ignored communities, this book asks a broad and far-reaching question that challenges the contemporary sustainability movement: What about sustainability for the forgotten? Sustainability for the Forgotten is an incendiary book …
Revisiting Leopold
The US National Park System is significantly different -in scope, number of units, size and complexitythan in the 1960s when the Leopold Report.Scientific understanding of natural and cultural resources has expanded dramatically.Developments since the 1960s include increasing biodiversity loss, habitat fragmentation, land use change, groundwater depletion, invasive species, rapid and sometimes unplanned development, growing air, noise, and light …

It's a Bad Thing to Make One Thing Into Two
Eighteenth-century Japanese Samurai wisdom dictates that it is a bad thing when one thing becomes two . This wisdom is an organizing premise: The distinction between environmental sociology and sociology of natural resources is artificial and counterproductive. Distinctions between these subdisciplines are described as ''trained incapacities'' resulting from specialized training that narrows scientists' range of perception and reduces their effec…
The human ecosystem Part II
The human ecosystem model presented in an accompanying article in this issue (Machlis et al. 1997) has several applications. One such application is as an organizing concept in selecting social indicators for ecosystem management. This article describes a contemporary example of such an application using the Upper Columbia River Basin (UCRB). Social indicators are statistics that can be collected over time and used for policy and management. The …
The human ecosystem Part I
The organization and description of a comprehensive ecosystem model useful to ecosystem management is necessary. In this article, we propose the human ecosystem as an organizing concept for ecosystem management. First, we describe the history of the human ecosystem idea; both biological ecology and mainstream social theories provide useful guidance. Next, we present the key elements of a human ecosystem model: critical resources (natural, socioec…

Response Rates and Mail Recreation Survey Results
This study examines whether survey results profiling homogeneous recreation populations can be valid at lower response rates. Four similar, but separate national park visitor surveys using on-site interviews, mail-back questionnaires and follow-ups were conducted in 1988. The results at four different response rates (35, 50, 65 percent; and the final total response) were analyzed and compared. No substantive reason was found to reject results wit…

Timber, Minerals, and Social Change
There are few empirical tests of the relationship between local resource production and community social systems. This paper reports the results of research on two communities in northern Idaho: one timber-dependent, the other mining-dependent. Data were collected for 13 indicators of resource production and 15 indicators of social change for periods up to 65 years. Regression analysis was used to test if community social change is associated wit…
Energy and outdoor recreation
The linkage between energy and outdoor recreation is an important one in times of abundance as well as scarcity. Most studies on this topic are relatively recent, originating with the “energy crisis” of 1974. After a decade of widely scattered research, it seems appropriate to take stock of the progress made. The purposes of this paper are to review the literature relevant to energy and outdoor recreation, provide an organizing framework, evaluat…

Cultural variation in the use of leisure time
Though time has often been treated as a sociological variable in the study of leisure, common assumptions about cultural variation in the use of leisure time remain largely untested. This study examined the time‐budgets of foreign visitors on organized tours at Grand Canyon National Park. Using over 1,400 observations of 40 tours, we examined the time‐budgets of Japanese, French, and other European tour groups. Significant differences in the allo…
Energetic Theories of Society
Energy has grown in importance to sociologists over the past several years because of the growing interest in environmental variables and because of the reality of the energy predicament facing many contemporary societies. These concerns have stimulated a steady growth in energy‐related sociological research; unfortunately, this research has proceeded either atheoretically or along lines where energy issues are “gerryrigged” to traditional sociol…
Relations between Strangers
Tourism is a paradoxical human activity-a supposedly 'smokeless industry' that produces littered beaches, a cornucopia to local economics that gives rise to inflation and embittered natives, a profitable enterprise that often requires governmental subsidy. It is also a major social and economic phenomenon: witness 280 million international tourists and 180 billion dollars in expenditures in 1979 (Waters, 1979). For the populations of many societi…

The human ecology of parks
This paper explores a human ecological approach to the study of people and parks. A human ecological perspective is outlined, along with the key units of analysis in human ecology. A theoretical framework for treating parks as human ecosystems is developed. Several ecological processes relevant to understanding human activity within parks are discussed, including adaptation, competition, and succession. The paper concludes by outlining several im…
