  • Making Sense of Human Ecology Mapping: An Overview of Approaches to Integrating Socio-Spatial Data into Environmental Planning
    Human Ecology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Robert F Mclain, Melissa Poe, Diane Besser, Kelly Biedenweg, Libor Červený, Dale Blahna
    Abstract:

    Ecosystem-based planning and management have stimulated the need to gather sociocultural values and Human uses of land in formats accessible to diverse planners and researchers. Human Ecology Mapping (HEM) approaches offer promising spatial data gathering and analytical tools, while also addressing important questions about Human-landscape connections. This article reviews and compares the characteristics of three HEM approaches that are increasingly used in natural resource management contexts, each focused on a particular aspect of Human-environmental interactions. These aspects include tenure and resource use (TRU), local ecological knowledge (LEK), and sense of place (SOP). We discuss their origins, provide examples of their use, and identify challenges to their application. Our review serves as a guide for environmental managers, planners, and communities interested in gathering spatial data on aspects of Human Ecology important in ecosystem-based management and planning, and for scientists designing socioecological research.
