Title: Demographic and Geographic Approaches to Predicting Public Acceptance of Fuel Management at the Wildland-Urban Interface

Project Proposal Abstract: Using focus group interviews with community leaders, wildfire experts, and interested publics, a conceptual model of the process by which people evaluate the acceptability of fuel management approaches such as prescribed fire will be developed. A significant outcome of the research will be a set of standardized, nationally applicable measurement scales and indicators designed to facilitate the implementation of cost-effective, local surveys of wildland-urban interface residents to assess their perceptions, understanding and support for fuel management operations. These scales and indicators will be tested by conducting surveys based on them in two communities in support of management decisions concerning fuelmanagement alternatives. Models based on demographic and geographic characteristics of survey respondents will be estimated to evaluate cost-effective approaches to predicting acceptance of fuel management. Spatial continuity of perception, understanding and acceptance will be explored to develop improved protocols for designing spatially unbiased sampling frames, evaluate the feasibility of interpolation of sample data, and to produce acceptance maps in support of targeted education and outreach intervention activities. This proposal is directly related to Task 2 of the RFP.
