与自然资源管理的其他方面一样，随着科学认识的进步和管理决策的更广泛背景的变化，管理荒地火灾的方法也随着时间的推移而演变。在2000年之前，大多数火灾研究的主要焦点是火灾的物理和生态方面;社会科学研究仅限于少数研究。然而，随着越来越多的人进入火灾多发地区，人们对了解相关社会动态的兴趣也在增长。随着1998年联合火灾科学计划和2000年国家火灾计划的建立，对火灾研究的资金增加，这种日益增长的兴趣得到了支持。在随后的几年里，一个重要的研究机构已经开发了关于荒地火灾恢复的人文因素，包括：对火灾前缓解的态度，火灾和燃料管理的社会可接受性，社区准备，火灾期间的公众反应，公民机构通信和火灾后恢复。本文报告了联合消防科学计划项目的两个方面，旨在评估迄今为止提供的关键社会科学经验教训：对非经济消防社会科学文献中的研究结果进行基本回顾，并确定未来的研究需求。
As with other aspects of natural-resource management, the approach to managing wildland fires has evolved over time as scientific understanding has advanced and the broader context surrounding management decisions has changed. Prior to 2000 the primary focus of most fire research was on the physical and ecological aspects of fire; social science research was limited to a small number of studies. However, as more people moved into fire-prone areas interest grew in understanding relevant social dynamics. This growing interest was supported by increased funding for fire research overall with the creation of the Joint Fire Science Program in 1998 and the National Fire Plan in 2000. In subsequent years,a significant bodyof researchhasdeveloped on the humandimensionsof wildland firecoveringdiverse topics including: attitudes towards pre-fire mitigation, social acceptability of fire and fuels management, community preparedness, public response during fires, citizen-agency communications and post-fire recovery.
