Social acceptability of environmental management actions, such as prescribed burning used to reduce wildfire risk, is critical to achieving positive outcomes. However, environmental managers often need to implement strategies over a long time period, and sustaining long-term community support can be challenging. Public attention to environmental issues is argued to vary over time, with acceptability of management interventions theorized to decrease with time since experiencing an environmental problem. However, it is unknown whether a person needs to personally experience the problem to maintain support, or if hearing about it in the media is sufficient. In this paper we explore whether acceptability of prescribed burning used to reduce wildfire risk declines with length of time since personally experiencing a wildfire. In a sample of 4390 Australians, acceptability of prescribed burning was not predicted by length of time since personally experiencing a wildfire, or perceptions of wildfire risk. Significant predictors included perceptions of local fuel loads, and of positive and negative impacts of prescribed burning, suggesting addressing these issues may be more effective in maintaining long-term support for wildfire management policies than investing in increasing attention to wildfire risk. This suggests environmental managers can design communication strategies to maintain support for environmental actions even in the absence of an individual personally experiencing the problem the action is designed to address.

探索“问题-关注周期”:自野火以来的时间长度是否可以预测规定燃烧的社会可接受性?

环境管理行动的社会可接受性,例如用于减少野火风险的规定燃烧,对于取得积极成果至关重要。然而,环境管理者通常需要在很长一段时间内实施战略,维持长期的社区支持可能具有挑战性。人们认为,公众对环境问题的关注会随着时间的推移而变化,从理论上讲,管理干预的可接受性会随着经历环境问题后的时间而降低。然而,不知道一个人是否需要亲身经历这个问题来维持支持,或者在媒体上听到它是否就足够了。在本文中,我们探讨了自个人经历野火以来,用于减少野火风险的规定燃烧的可接受性是否会随着时间的推移而下降。在 4390 名澳大利亚人的样本中,自亲身经历野火以来的时间长度或对野火风险的看法无法预测对处方燃烧的可接受性。重要的预测因素包括对当地燃料负荷的看法,以及对规定燃烧的正面和负面影响的看法,这表明解决这些问题可能比投资于增加对野火风险的关注更有效地维持对野火管理政策的长期支持。这表明环境管理者可以设计沟通策略,以保持对环境行动的支持,即使没有个人亲身经历该行动旨在解决的问题。或对野火风险的看法。重要的预测因素包括对当地燃料负荷的看法,以及对规定燃烧的正面和负面影响的看法,这表明解决这些问题可能比投资于增加对野火风险的关注更有效地维持对野火管理政策的长期支持。这表明环境管理者可以设计沟通策略,以保持对环境行动的支持,即使没有个人亲身经历该行动旨在解决的问题。或对野火风险的看法。重要的预测因素包括对当地燃料负荷的看法,以及对规定燃烧的正面和负面影响的看法,这表明解决这些问题可能比投资于增加对野火风险的关注更有效地维持对野火管理政策的长期支持。这表明环境管理者可以设计沟通策略,以保持对环境行动的支持,即使没有个人亲身经历该行动旨在解决的问题。建议解决这些问题在保持对野火管理政策的长期支持方面可能比投资于增加对野火风险的关注更有效。这表明环境管理者可以设计沟通策略,以保持对环境行动的支持,即使没有个人亲身经历该行动旨在解决的问题。建议解决这些问题在保持对野火管理政策的长期支持方面可能比投资于增加对野火风险的关注更有效。这表明环境管理者可以设计沟通策略,以保持对环境行动的支持,即使没有个人亲身经历该行动旨在解决的问题。
