The research will examine how definitions of `communities of place` are constructed and institutionalized within community stewardship organizations. The rationale for this study stems from recognition that the legitimacy of increased participation in resource management depends on the nature of the claims that groups are able to make relative to a given locality. This depends, in part, on symbolic representations of place and community and on the manner in which power relations are constituted. Case studies of two community stewardship organizations in California's Northern Sierra Nevada region and their relations with four populations of local resource stakeholders will be conducted. The study will contribute to our understanding of conflict and conflict-resolution over natural resources in the Western United States. This is a Doctoral Dissertation Award.

该研究将考察“地方社区”的定义是如何在社区管理组织中构建和制度化的。这项研究的基本原理源于认识到增加参与资源管理的合法性取决于群体相对于特定地点能够提出的要求的性质。这部分取决于对地方和社区的象征性表征，以及权力关系构成的方式。将对加利福尼亚州北内华达山脉地区的两个社区管理组织及其与当地资源利益相关者的四个群体的关系进行案例研究。这项研究将有助于我们对美国西部自然资源冲突和冲突解决的理解。这是博士论文奖。
