Abstract

Abstract Poor ambient air quality is one of today’s greatest environmental health risks. However, unlike water, wildland fire, or wildlife, comparatively less human dimensions scholarship has focused on air resources. The papers in this special issue highlight how people across varying cultures, geographies, and identities create and relate to varying air quality conditions. In doing so, the issue challenges dominant perspectives of air pollution as a purely material entity and argues for the need to attend to the socio-cultural and political dimensions that define, create, or mitigate poor air quality.

空气质素的人为因素:特刊导言

摘要恶劣的环境空气质量是当今最大的环境健康风险之一。然而，与水、荒地火灾或野生动物不同，相对较少的人类维度学术关注空气资源。本期特刊中的论文强调了不同文化、地理位置和身份的人们是如何创造和应对不同的空气质量条件的。在这样做的过程中，这个问题挑战了空气污染作为一个纯粹物质实体的主流观点，并认为有必要关注定义、创造或缓解空气质量差的社会文化和政治层面。

期刊介绍： Society and Natural Resources publishes cutting edge social science research that advances understanding of the interaction between society and natural resources.Social science research is extensive and comes from a number of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, political science, communications, planning, education, and anthropology. We welcome research from all of these disciplines and interdisciplinary social science research that transcends the boundaries of any single social science discipline. We define natural resources broadly to include water, air, wildlife, fisheries, forests, natural lands, urban ecosystems, and intensively managed lands. While we welcome all papers that fit within this broad scope, we especially welcome papers in the following four important and broad areas in the field: 1. Protected area management and governance 2. Stakeholder analysis, consultation and engagement; deliberation processes; governance; conflict resolution; social learning; social impact assessment 3. Theoretical frameworks, epistemological issues, and methodological perspectives 4. Multiscalar character of social implications of natural resource management
