Attitudes Toward Mountain Lion Management in the Midwest: Implications for a Potentially Recolonizing Large Predator
Mountain lion (Puma concolor) confirmations in the Midwest have increased considerably, indicating a potential recolonization event. Although the ecological, social, and economic implications of recolonization are of considerable interest to managers and the general public, no studies have yet assessed human attitudes toward mountain lion management in the region. We surveyed Kentucky and North Dakota residents and found differences in their moun…
Neighbors Yet Strangers: Local People's Awareness of Cypress Creek National Wildlife Refuge, Southern Illinois, USA
Knowledge and perception of federal land-use decisions and policies among residents of poor rural areas in the United States have received little attention in the literature. The purpose of this study was to examine awareness of Cypress Creek National Wildlife Refuge and its programs as reported by the surrounding public in rural southern Illinois. A snowball or referral chain sampling technique was used to gain access to minority and low-income …
Values of Place: Measuring Attitudes of Community Leaders Toward Scenes from Rural Landscapes
This article reports on an exploratory study designed to measure community leaders' attitudes toward scenes from working rural landscapes as elicited by photographs paired with a semantic differential scale. Using this approach it is determined that age, occupation, knowledge about farm structure, and community size are important factors shaping the diverse attitudes held by community leaders in rural southern Illinois. Findings suggest that the …
The Former “Goose Hunting Capital of the World”: Southern Illinois Hunting Club Owners' Beliefs, Attitudes, and Responses Associated with Shifts in Goose Migration
Waterfowl management is inherently complex, given shifting population dynamics and intensifying social and economic interests. This qualitative case analysis provides an exploratory examination of the human dimensions of waterfowl management, specifically the beliefs, attitudes, and business responses of 15 representatives from 12 goose hunting clubs in southern Illinois. The region's waterfowl hunting industry is facing progressively northward s…
Assessing Stakeholder Perceptions: Listening to Avid Hunters of Western Kentucky
Presented are findings of an interpretive investigation of perceptions held by avid Kentucky hunters about white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) herd quality and hunting regulations. Three facilitated focus groups with hunters and five follow-up key informant interviews were conducted and analyzed through an iterative qualitative analysis. Three distinct categories of hunter concerns emerged that reflected aspects of quality of experience, t…
Wildlife Watchers in the Western United States: A Structural Approach for Understanding Policy Change
Public policy decision making can be affected by changes in governing coalitions, resource distributions, social structure, and other factors external to a particular policy subsystem. Social and economic factors external to the wildlife policy subsystem have experienced dramatic change in recent years, particularly in the western states. Wildlife watchers comprise a well-defined target population within the western wildlife policy subsystem. The…
Macrosociological Inquiry and Sport Fishing
The structure of a society refers to self-reinforcing patterns of interaction that emerge when its members associate over time. From a macrosociological perspective, a sport fishery can be viewed as a social system where opportunities to fish are enabled or constrained by overlapping group memberships and reinforcing status positions. Blau's quantitative model of social structure provides a basis for understanding preexisting conditions that shap…
An Ecological Approach to Decision-making in Renewable Resource Management
This article examines the roles of politics and processes in the formulation and implementation of U.S. natural resource policy during the Reagan and Bush administrations. The relationship between policies and procedures during these administrations will be illustrated by their effects on renewable natural resources management in the Department of the Interior and in the Forest Service, Department of Agriculture. The political history of these ag…
