Wildfires are a significant concern across England and Wales, posing a range of social, economic and environmental risks. Alongside endangering millions of lives across an ever-expanding wildland-urban interface, wildfires disrupt critical national infrastructure, stem the provision of crucial resources, threaten the ecological stability of animals and plants, and threaten livelihoods. Climate change threatens to further increase the risk from wildfirein the coming decades. Extending recent research agendas across both human and physical geography concerning different people's lived experiences within their environments, this PhD project looks to mitigate the socio-ecological risks posed by wildfires and inform national wildfire strategy by documenting and analysing the diverse range of knowledges and sense-making practices used by fire responders, government bodies, landowners, and other stakeholders in the governance of wildfire preparedness and response in England and Wales.The research will be structured by two overarching research aims:-Firstly, to understand how these knowledges develop through people's relationship with their environments.-Secondly, to analyse the role, significance and future potential of different types of knowledge in wildfire governance in England and Wales.The project will make a major contribution to interdisciplinary academic debates that have gathered pace over the last decade concerning theurgent need for changes in emergency governance demanded by the disorienting environmental shifts of the Anthropocene. One of the key insightsfrom this emerging literature concerns how climate-induced emergencies have ushered in a new politics of knowledge production in which the longstanding hegemony of technocratic, managerial and expert understandings of environmental risk are being unsettled by the reassertion oftraditional or practical ways of knowing about environment and risk.This project extends these urgent academic debates by outlining the forms of knowledge that have risen to prominence, exploring whose knowledge comes to matter and how competing forms of knowledge have developed through different people's relationship with the wider environment.

野火是英格兰和威尔士的一个重大问题，构成了一系列社会，经济和环境风险。除了在不断扩大的荒地-城市界面危及数百万人的生命外，野火还破坏了关键的国家基础设施，阻止了关键资源的提供，威胁到动植物的生态稳定，并威胁到生计。在未来几十年里，气候变化有可能进一步增加野火的风险。这个博士项目将最近的研究议程扩展到人类和自然地理学，涉及不同人在其环境中的生活经历，旨在减轻野火带来的社会生态风险，并通过记录和分析火灾响应者，政府机构，土地所有者，和其他利益相关者在英格兰和威尔士的野火准备和响应的治理。该研究将由两个总体研究目标构成：-首先，了解这些知识如何通过人们与环境的关系发展。第二，分析不同类型的知识在英格兰和威尔士野火治理中的作用、意义和未来潜力。该项目将为跨学科的学术辩论做出重大贡献，过去十年来，这一辩论的步伐越来越快，涉及人类世令人困惑的环境变化所要求的紧急治理变革的迫切需要。这些新兴文献的一个关键观点是，气候引发的紧急情况如何带来了一种新的知识生产政治，由于重新主张传统或实用的了解环境和风险的方法，管理人员和专家对环境风险的理解正在动摇。该项目通过概述已上升到的知识形式，扩展了这些紧迫的学术辩论。突出，探索谁的知识来物质和竞争形式的知识如何通过不同的人与更广泛的环境的关系发展。
