“…Indicators for less tangible aspects of governance such as trust, legitimacy, inclusiveness, and fairness in decision-making were considered unsuitable for the establishment of objective and quantitative indicators because scientific and community consensus on the meaning of these terms remains elusive (Parkins et al 2001b). As ecosystems and social-cultural systems vary between planning landscapes, specific criteria (and indicators) may also vary at different scales or across contexts (Karjala and Dewhurst 2003). For example, researchers working directly with Aboriginal and non-indigenous communities argued that indicators pertaining to social dimensions of sustainability are locally specific, thus indicators would have to be tailored to local conditions, rather than imposed from generic frameworks (e.g., see Parkins et al 2001b, Karjala and Dewhurst 2003, Sherry et al 2005.…”

Septembre/octobre 2013, vol. 89, nº 5 -the foreStry chronicle 664 AbstrActPlanning for and managing disturbances in protected areas requires governance arrangements that are both adaptive to changing conditions and effective in dealing with multiple challenges. This paper presents a framework composed of principles and criteria of good and adaptive governance that pays attention to inclusiveness, responsibility, fairness, strategic vision, performance orientation, and adaptiveness. The framework was empirically tested on fire management planning in Prince Albert National Park, Saskatchewan, Canada, involving interactions between Parks Canada and Saskatchewan Environment. Our results suggest that while the principle of performance orientation was upheld, principles such as inclusiveness and adaptiveness were only partially supported. Additional testing beyond fire management planning can help determine the utility of the framework for other environmental management situations.Keywords: adaptive capacity, adaptive governance, adaptive management, climate change, disturbance, fire management, good governance, national parks, protected areas résumé La planification et la gestion des perturbations dans des territoires protégés requièrent des mécanismes de gouvernance qui soient à la fois adaptables aux conditions variables et capables de répondre à de multiples enjeux. Cet article présente un cadre composé des principes et des critères d'une bonne gouvernance adaptative qui tient compte de la capacité d'inclusion, de la responsabilité, de l' équité, de la vision stratégique, de la performance et de la capacité d'adaptation. Le cadre a été testé de façon empirique pour planifier la gestion des feux de forêt dans le Parc national Prince Albert situé en Saskatchewan au Canada, et qui comportait des interactions entre Parcs Canada et Environnement Saskatchewan. Nos résultats laissent entendre que même si le principe de performance a été maintenu, les principes comme la capacité d'inclusion et d'adaptation n' ont été retenus que partiellement. Un essai additionnel qui irait au-delà de planifier la gestion des feux aiderait à déterminer si le cadre peut être utile dans d'autres contextes de gestion environnementale.

“…The central message embedded in this policy shift is that the foregoing century of fire suppression and other management practices have disrupted the balance between land and resource use and have also changed people's sense of place and their reliance on public and tribal lands for their livelihood (see Karjala and Dewhurst 2003;Moseley and Toth 2004). It is ironic that, in many cases, frequent past burning may have helped preserve artifacts in the cultural context, while today's wildland fires and prescribed burns are impacting and destroying the artifacts and evidence of their cultural significance.…”

The central message embedded in this policy shift is that the foregoing century of fire suppression and other management practice has disrupted the balance among land, resource conditions and values, as well as the people who rely on public and Indian lands for livelihood, raw materials, and senses of place (see Karjala and Dewhurst 2003;Moseley and Toth 2004).…”

“…In these contexts, geographical boundaries for plans, programs and actions are rigorously defined by pre-established jurisdictional and budgetary frameworks. If potential conflicts between local community landscape definitions and management community programs can be resolved, then applied research employing landscapes to integrate resources, communities, and values contribute to landscape theory, as well as more immediate management objectives (Karjala and Dewhurst 2003).…”

This state-of-knowledge review provides a synthesis of the effects of fire on cultural resources, which can be used by fire managers, cultural resource (CR) specialists, and archaeologists to more effectively manage wildland vegetation, fuels, and fire. The goal of the volume is twofold: (1) to provide cultural resource/archaeological professionals and policy makers with a primer on fuels, fire behavior, and fire effects to enable them to work more effectively with the fire management community to protect resources during fuels treatment and restoration projects and wildfire suppression activities; and (2) to provide fire and land management professionals and policy makers with a greater understanding of the value of cultural resource protection and the methods available to evaluate and mitigate risks to CR. The synthesis provides a conceptual fire effects framework for planning, managing, and modeling fire effects (chapter1) and a primer on fire and fuel processes and fire effects prediction modeling (chapter 2). A synthesis of the effects of fire on various cultural resource materials is provided for ceramics (chapter 3), lithics (chapter 4), rock art (chapter 5), historic-period artifacts/materials (chapter 6), and below-ground features (chapter 7). Chapter 8 discusses the importance of cultural landscapes to indigenous peoples and emphasizes the need to actively involve native people in the development of collaborative management plans. The use and practical implications of this synthesis are the subject of the final chapter (chapter 9).Keywords: cultural resources, heritage resources, archaeology, fire regime, fire environment, fuels management, fire management, fire planning, wildfire, prescribed fire, First-Order fire effects, Second-Order fire effects, Third-Order fire effects, Burned Area Emergency Rehabilitation (BAER), fire severity, traditional cultural knowledge (TKE), cultural landscapesTo order, check any box or boxes below, fill in the address form, and send to the mailing address listed below.

“…Over the years, several studies have been conducted within the traditional territory of the TPazt'en Nation addressing various geopolitical, environmental, and socio-economic aspects of the community, including forestry (Morris, 1999;Morris & Fondahl, 2002;Kaijala & Dewhurst, 2003;Sherry, Dewhurst, & Karjala, 2005;Sherry, Halseth, Fondahl, Kaijala, & Leon, 2005;Grainger, Sherry, & Fundahl, 2006;Booth & Skelton, 2008). While the TPazt'en Nation's involvement in the forestry sector is well documented in some studies, particularly Booth and Skelton (2008), a significant research gap exists since the signing o f the new FRO agreement between the Provincial government and Tl'azt'en Nation in 2008.…”
