Governing energy in conflicted resource contexts
A sustainable energy future requires both technological advancement and understanding factors that drive attitudes and behaviors on energy consumption. Culture can influence preferences for sources of energy, consumption behavior, and incentives to change behavior. This paper examines, through two studies, the influence of various cultural, environmental, and economic outcome information provided through a decision aid for energy development on t…

A human-environmental network model for assessing coastal mitigation decisions informed by imperfect climate studies
A Bayesian network model is developed to explore the interaction between physical and social processes that influence mitigation decisions and outcomes for extreme events. The network includes statistical relationships for event occurrence and magnitude; uncertainty in the parameters of these models; a high degree of variability in the sequence of events that occurs in any given time interval, and the possibility of long-term trends in the freque…
Energy development and Native Americans
Technical tools and techno-centric methods used for energy resource management and policy planning and development can miss important social and cultural factors. This can in turn result in a failure to recognize potential barriers and opportunities for energy and resource development in culturally diverse communities. Given the complexity of socio-technical energy systems, multidisciplinary analysis approaches are needed to ensure that modeling …

Risk-based decision analysis in support of precautionary policies
A decision-analytic model for avoiding a risky activity is presented. The model considers the benefit and cost of avoiding the activity, the probability that the activity is unsafe, and scientific tests or studies that could be conducted to revise the probability that the activity is unsafe. For a single decision maker, thresholds are identified for his or her current subjective probability that the activity is unsafe. These thresholds indicate w…

Perceptions of PCE use by dry cleaners and dry cleaning customers
Recent studies by consumer and environmental groups have raised questions about Perchloroethylene (PCE) used by over 85% of the commercial dry cleaners in the United States, but classified as a possible or probable carcinogen. Many environmentalists favour replacing PCE dry cleaning with alternative, chlorine-free processes currently under development. However, even if these alternatives eventually provide adequate replacements, some time will be…

Computer Tools to Facilitate Brownfield Development
Brownfields are both a resource and a liability. Brownfield sites represent an opportunity to build the tax base and to rejuvenate decaying infrastructure and depressed communities. With ever-increasing pressures on existing infrastructure from both development and age, and the opportunities for more rational approaches to site remediation, brownfields and their associated infrastructure offer an attractive alternative to greenfield sites. These …
