Disaster waste governance: Importance of pre-planning for improved response and recovery
Natural hazard-related disasters are rapidly increasing worldwide. Post-disaster waste management is important as debris impedes access of recovery crews, poses health hazards, increases length of residents’ stay in evacuation centres, and significantly adds to recovery costs. In Australia, waste management in business-as-usual times is the remit of local governments, yet during an emergency event the governance of disasters and disaster waste ma…
Compensating Indigenous social and cultural losses: A Community-Based Multiple-Attribute Approach
Gregory, R., P. Halteman, N. Kaechele, J. Kotaska, and T. Satterfield. 2020. Compensating Indigenous social and cultural losses: a community-based multiple-attribute approach. Ecology and Society 25(4):4. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-12038-250404
The promise and reality of social and cultural metrics
In addition to evaluating the economic, ecological, and health impacts of major public policy initiatives, impact assessments typically also need to identify and evaluate an action's social and cultural (S/C) impacts. A wide range of S/C metrics have been suggested, and guidelines exist to help ensure their thoughtful and comprehensive development. Nevertheless, many of the S/C concerns identified as part of impact assessments remain vague, are d…
Iconic photographs and the ebb and flow of empathic response to humanitarian disasters
Significance We cannot assume that the statistics of mass human crises will capture our attention or move us to take action, no matter how large the numbers. The data that we present show that the world was basically asleep as the body count in the Syrian war rose steadily into the hundreds of thousands. The iconic image of a young Syrian child, lying face-down on a beach, woke the world for a brief time, bringing much-needed attention to the war…
Public perceptions of expert disagreement: Bias and incompetence or a complex and random world
Expert disputes can present laypeople with several challenges including trying to understand why such disputes occur. In an online survey of the US public, we used a psychometric approach to elicit perceptions of expert disputes for 56 forecasts sampled from seven domains. People with low education, or with low self-reported topic knowledge, were most likely to attribute disputes to expert incompetence. People with higher self-reported knowledge …

Structured Decision Making: A Practical Guide to Environmental Management Choices
Making sense of uncertainty: Advantages and disadvantages of providing an evaluative structure
In many decision contexts, there is uncertainty in the assessed probabilities and expected consequences of different actions. The fundamental goal for information providers is to present uncertainty in a way that is not overly complicated, yet sufficiently detailed to prompt decision-makers to think about the implications of this uncertainty for the decision at hand. In two experiments, we assess the pros and cons of providing an evaluative struc…
Making decisions about prescription drugs: A study of doctor–patient communication
Effective communication between doctors and their patients is essential to successful medication choices and treatments. Our interest in this exploratory paper lies in the quality of communication between doctors and patients: what both parties seek to explain and what they commonly understand, what opportunities and what frictions occur as a result of their respective goals, what gaps exist in their knowledge bases, and how information of differ…
Poisoning the body to nourish the soul: Prioritising health risks and impacts in a Native American community
Current United States government risk assessment and management regulations fail to consider Native American definitions of health or risk. On the invitation of the Coast Salish Swinomish Indian Tribal Community of Washington State, this study examines local meanings of health in reference to seafood where contamination of their aquatic natural resources has been found. By conducting two series of interviews with Swinomish seafood consumers, expe…

Adaptive management and environmental decision making: A case study application to water use planning
Some Pitfalls of an Overemphasis on Science in Environmental Risk Management Decisions
This paper addresses the question whether calls for “more” and “better” science will have the intended effect of improving the quality of decisions about environmental risks. There are reasons to be skeptical: key judgment tasks that fundamentally shape many aspects of decisions about environmental risk management lie outside the domain of science. These tasks include making value judgments explicit, integrating facts and values to create innovat…

The role of affect in the WTA/WTP disparity
Four studies demonstrated robust within‐ and between‐subject differences in willingness‐to‐pay (WTP) and willingness‐to‐accept (WTA) measures of the value of lottery tickets. Buyers and sellers attended to different numerical cues and interpreted the same numbers differently when setting these two kinds of monetary values. Affective influences appeared to guide the valuation process. Buyers with stronger positive feelings about owning a ticket we…

Decision Aiding, Not Dispute Resolution: Creating Insights through Structured Environmental Decisions
Public participation in environmental decisions has become commonplace. A favored model for public input is to use the tools of dispute resolution to seek consensus among members of a multi‐party stakeholder group. The authors believe that a focus on dispute resolution and consensus building can pose impediments to the creation of insights for decisionmakers and lead to the adoption of inferior policy choices. Instead, they advocate an alternativ…

Why the WTA–WTP disparity matters
Reconciling environmental values and pragmatic choices
Renewed attention has been granted to the link between environmental values and management directives or policies. This article argues that standard survey techniques can mask the situational richness that connects a stated value or objective to a related management action. Consequently, new analytic techniques are needed—techniques that more closely follow the reasoning that connects values with actions in specific contexts. We describe the use …

Valuing Risks to the Environment
Increasing awareness of exposure to environmental risks has focused attention on measures that would give greater assurance that such risks are effectively managed and that the adverse consequences of risky activities are mitigated. Implementing such actions is made more difficult by the uncertainties of environmental changes, their often delayed impacts, the great importance attached to extremely small risks, and the lack of clear measures of th…
