TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - The role of social science in the governance and management of wildland fire JO - International journal of wildland fire A1 - Bosomworth, Karyn A1 - Handmer, John A1 - Thornton, Richard SP - 151 EP - 152 VL - 24 IS - 2 N2 - Global social-economic and environmental changes are increasing the challenges of wildfire risk management. Addressing these challenges requires perspectives beyond knowledge of the bio-physical dynamics of fire. This Special Section provides some such perspectives, including safety, children's understanding of the risk, indigenous knowledge of fire, and 'shared responsibility'. Each paper highlights important challenges and ideas for fire management.
