Examining fire-prone forest landscapes as coupled human and natural systems [PDF]

Ecology and Society, 2014
Fire-prone landscapes are not well studied as coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) and present many challenges for understanding and promoting adaptive behaviors and institutions.

A review of the complexity approach to the study human (society)-nature interactions [PDF]

Glasnik Srpskog Geografskog Društva, 2010
Traditional approach to the study of society-nature interactions based on reductionism and linear causality is no longer fully capable of explaining complex dynamics of integrated socio-economic and natural systems. For this reason demands for complexity
