Network Analysis as a Method for Understanding the Dynamics of Natural Resource Management in Rural Communities
This article presents a methodological approach to identifying local social networks and discusses how these networks may be drawn upon to build consensus or acceptance of natural resource management plans. The article also presents a method for identifying local network structures, including quantitative analysis of the influence of these structures on community behavior. Network analysis provides additional information collected from community …
A Social Relationship Response to a Proposed Coal-Fired Power Plant
Local community collective action has been identified as a key ingredient in community response to change. Network theorists suggest that the social network structure of a community impacts local capacity to adapt to change. This paper summarizes network theory and then draws upon a case study of a Western community where a proposed coal-fired power plant has created conflict over the environmental, aesthetic, economic, and quality-of-life implic…

Working environment and respiratory health
A case study of 102 surface and underground coal miners in the western United States randomly selected from a telephone survey of two mining communities was conducted, examining their perceptions of working conditions and health both before and after the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969. Miners working since 1970 reported lower amounts of dust breathed in, increased dust‐mask use, and better mine ventilation. Respiratory illnesses,…
Injuries, arthritis, and hearing impairment
Coal mining has been, and continues to be, a hazardous occupation with some of the highest rates of death and injury. The authors conducted a study of former and current coal miners from the western United States to identify the prevalence of acute injuries as well as arthritis and hearing impairment. Of the 102 randomly selected miners, 69 (67.6%) had experienced one or more injuries during their mining careers, with back injuries the most often…
