The papers in this collection bring to bear perspectives from a variety of social science disciplines and question whether the focus on social acceptability is an appropriate and useful one.

A thematic mapping process was used in which geographic places serve as starting points for dialogue and deliberation among diverse stakeholders over desired future conditions for the national forest. Place becomes a platform upon which people can come together and craft shared vision. Although the GMUG case focuses on an ecologically based set of place themes and, therefore, does not encompass the full range of experiences, values, and uses that are bundled in “sense of place,” we show how conflict can be considerably narrowed and common ground significantly expanded. The approach used on the GMUG is but one alternative framework for developing desired future conditions in na...

The first two propositions suggest a strong and direct connection between self-identity, place, and how individuals perceive and value the environment. The third, fourth, and fifth propositions tie together social group identity and place, particularly emphasizing the influence of social group identity on strategic behavior in natural resource politics. The sixth proposition relates to the geographic scale of place as a strategic choice in natural resource decision making. Taken together, the propositions suggest that natural resource politics is as much a contest over place meanings as it is a competition among interest groups over scarce resources. The place perspective suggests an expanded role for natural resource social scientists as giving voice to meanings and values that may not otherwise be expressed in natural resource decision-making processes.

Using a qualitative photo-elicitation technique best described as "resident employed photography," we asked 25 residents of Seward, Alaska, to share images and stories of important places in and around their local community. The findings suggest that place and community are intertwined, as evidenced by the use of community as a frame of reference for describing nearly every example of attachment to place. This suggests that place attachment can serve as a factor in the development "of" community, defined as a heightened engagement in collective actions that help people meet their day-to-day needs. It could also influence one's development "in" community, directing the behaviors that affect how people both participate in communities and seek to change their position within them.

We distil crucial elements from each approach: for sense of place we include setting characteristics, behaviours, symbolic meanings, and evaluations such as attachment and identity. We use the interactional approach to represent community theory, and thus include ecology, society, and action components. We create and introduce a matrix that intersects these elements and find that much common ground exists: there is significant potential for cross fertilization between the approaches. The utility of the approach is illustrated using public participation as an example topic of interest to resource and recreation managers.
