Socioeconomics

Research in this area focuses on

• exploring the diverse values of forests (timber and non-timber);
• finding methods to measure, analyze, and integrate these values directly into the decision-making process;
• identifying social and economic indicators of sustainable development and exploring the means to measure and monitor them;
• analyzing statistics and indicators of community sustainability; and
• examining policies that influence the use of forests and how these policies contribute to the sustainability of communities.
