▼ Corporate social responsibility is increasingly becoming an important component of the business world. With growing scrutiny of commercial operations, businesses are increasingly being driven to satisfy the expectations of society in order to thrive. In essence, businesses adopting corporate social responsibility believe that by operating ethically and responsibly, they have a better opportunity of success. This thesis examines Lafarge Mining South Africa and its Ridgeview Quarry located in Durban, South Africa, in order to assess the contribution to social sustainability of corporate social responsibility practices in the resource extraction industry. Literature used for this research is compiled from concepts such as sustainable development, social sustainability, social justice, public participation, vulnerability and well-being and furthermore evaluates conventional arguments for corporate social responsibility. The methodology used for this research was based on a qualitative approach, where both secondary and primary data were used. The empirical materials needed for this research was collected through in-depth interviews conducted with stakeholders involved within the social upliftment programmes as well as discussions forums. Furthermore, purposive sampling was used for this study, as the study was concerned with individuals involved with the discussion forum and the social responsibility programmes. The thesis investigates the nature of public participation in the discussion forum with respect to social sustainability. With regards to the discussion forum, meetings were held intermittently, on an ad hoc basis, therefore affecting the degree to which total social sustainability was achieved in the decision-making process. However, it was found that when meetings were convened that the discussion forum was inclusive and in no way discouraged any form of participation from the community, hence contributing to some form of social sustainability. The research encompassed aspects of evaluation research, whereby summative evaluation and impact evaluation was used to summarise information and examine the outcomes of the two corporate social responsibility initiatives, namely; the education-related and the skills-related social upliftment programmes. The research evaluated these two programmes, in order to assess the degree to which social sustain ability was achieved. However these initiatives are a small part of the broader corporate social responsibility agenda. The key findings of the research were that social sustainability was very weak. Minimal difficulties were experienced by participants in the education-related social upliftment programme, where one of the challenges was to uplift learners from grassroots level (primary school level). However, with regards to the skills-related social upliftment programme, individuals participating in the project, experienced more difficulties than compared to those participating within the education-related social upliftment programme. Difficulties that arose with regards… Advisors/Committee Members: Houghton, Jennifer (advisor).

▼ An environmental challenge that is currently plaguing the South African townships in the Metropolitan Area is the volume of solid waste being illegally disposed in open spaces along road verges as well as in streams. The research aims to identify the root cause of illegal dumping in the township of Clermont, Kwa-Zulu Natal. The researcher used quantitative, qualitative and observation methodologies to collect data from member’s of the community of Clermont. The severity of the problem will be measured by looking at different age groups; level of income per household as well as gender. In general waste management and environmental management has received little attention compared to other socio-economic problems like un-employment. As the bulk of the world’s population move from rural areas to urban areas, poverty is becoming an increasingly urban phenomenon. Environmental problems range from impairment of human health, economic and other welfare and extinction of the ecosystem. The urban poor bear the greatest burden of urban environmental risks. The most significant environmental challenge in South Africa is effectively management of waste. Currently the focus in South Africa has been on waste disposal rather than on waste prevention. Consequently there are no incentives for reducing waste and industries are not required to submit plans for waste management when commencing a new business. Waste management legislation is fragmented; as a result there is a lack of control in waste management. This research will investigate whether community members are aware of what is expected from them by the municipality and private waste collection companies. It will further analyse at the norm of waste disposal within the developing countries compared to developed countries. The study will attempt to provide practical solutions for the township of Clermont. The study has five chapters. The first chapter introduce the problem, objectives and hypothesis. The second chapter deals with the theoretical review to help the reader understand different cases and how waste management handled in different parts of the world. This has been done by looking at the international, national and local level, comparing waste management trends. The third chapter describe the study area in detail and different scientific methodologies researcher used to prove or disprove the hypothesis and objectives that were set in the first chapter. Chapter four analyses all the data that was collected from the community of Clermont and unpack other underlying factors that lead to poor waste management in this township. For example the researcher will conclude using the data collected if the frequency of waste collection is sufficient for the community and what can be done to minimize illegal dumping. Chapter five, which is the last chapter of this dissertation will suggest recommendations that can be used to correct all problems that associated with illegal dumping in Clermont Township.

▼ Ecotourism has generated great interest from governments, tourism enterprises, tourists, conservation groups, the private sector and other stakeholders in the industry. A reason for this interest is the availability of pristine natural environments, especially in Africa. The need for more rigorous data on economic, environmental and social impacts of ecotourism development from different perspectives and stakeholders is central to unpacking key issues related to sustaining ecotourism in Africa that is both responsive to environmental as well as social and economic needs. There seems to be a need for a better understanding of ecotourism’s impacts, and how those impacts are affected by various developmental needs and management strategies. South Africa is a country which is closely linked with disputes resulting from land claims as a result of apartheid. Thus, this thesis attempts to unpack issues relating to the historical legacy, the proliferation of Private Game Parks in South Africa and related issues of privatised concentration of natural resources, access and affordability as well as potential social, economic and environmental impacts. Research was undertaken in two Private Parks in KwaZulu-Natal: Ezulwini Private Park and Tala Private Park. A fundamental ingredient for stakeholder involvement is collaboration among key players. The specific stakeholders identified for this study were: visitors, local communities, tour operators, Park personnel, Park managers and the Private owner of both the private Parks. The research employed both qualitative (participatory approaches) and quantitative (questionnaires) techniques when collecting data. The study revealed that visitors to Ezulwini Private Park and Tala Private Park listed important factors regarding their own efforts to promote ecotourism such as: conserving nature, limiting the over-utilisation of resources, being environmentally conscious, reducing water consumption, being litter conscious, spreading the conservation message via word of mouth and visiting more ecotourism destinations. There is a good level of interaction between the tour operating company (that carries out tours to Ezulwini Private Park and Tala Private Park) and the community. This is attributed to visitors purchasing from cultural villages and the use of local tour guides. The local communities living near the private Parks indicated that no relationship exists between the community, management and staff of the respective private Parks. Participatory exercises (venn diagrams, mental mapping and problem ranking exercises) were conducted with focus groups. These focus group discussions established heterogeneity within the respective communities and emphasised the need for the involvement of all community members who best understand and have the greatest stake in social, economic and political issues linked to the Parks. According to the Park personnel at Ezulwini Private Park and Tala Private Park local communities were somewhat involved in the activities and decision-making of the private… Advisors/Committee Members: Bob, Urmilla (advisor).

▼ This dissertation focussed on the Mvoti River system in KwaZulu-Natal, an important resource for the numerous towns and villages along its course. Catchment activities are varied with agriculture being the predominant activity, and industrial activities common in the lower catchment. The Mvoti River is intensively utilized, especially in its lower reaches, to the extent that it is referred to as a ‘working river’. Modifications of the chemical and physical characteristics of the system, and consequently the biological characteristics, have led to degradation of the system such that the functioning of the lower river has deteriorated in comparison to that of its pre-disturbance condition. There are three main aspects of the Mvoti system around which this dissertation is based, namely, water quality, geochemistry, and conservation of the system. The results of the water quality survey of the estuary revealed that the system is presently experiencing water which is of an inferior quality. Compared against the South African water quality standards, a majority of the parameters exceed acceptable limits and are likely to present negative impacts on aquatic health and potentially human health. Comparison of current results, and water quality data for the system dating back to 1964, revealed that this degradation is not new to the system, and the Mvoti Estuary has in fact been experiencing continued deterioration over the years. The second part of this study investigated heavy metal presence in the sediments of the lower system and elemental presence and distribution in the surface sediments of the middle and lower River respectively. Results indicated that even though selected heavy metals are present, they are of concentrations lower than those of two other South African and two other international systems they were compared with. Enrichment and contamination assessments reveal that contaminants are in all probability present as a result of anthropogenic sources. However, distribution patterns which show highest levels just after effluent disposal sites suggest that the contamination is presumably human-induced and, the predominance of larger grained sediments that do not have high adsorption capacities, suggest that contaminants are readily remobilized into the water column. The final part of this research investigates other environmental problems, and causes, both natural and anthropogenic, experienced by the estuary system. These stresses include poor water quality, reduced water quantity, sedimentation, alien vegetation invasions and loss of biodiversity. Strategies to address these issues are proposed, with the intention of improving the condition of the estuary. This is an attempt at ecological restoration, to restore the estuary to a condition as close to as possible, to its pre-disturbance condition. These strategies include controlling abstraction and discharge, eradicating alien vegetation, controlling sandmining, and improving the overall quality of the system. Also proposed is an estuary management plan (EMP)… Advisors/Committee Members: Pillay, S (advisor).

▼ Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is one of the most used tools for environmental management since its introduction in 1970s in the United States of America. Being a systematic process that examines the environmental consequences of development actions in advance, it is perceived as one of the tools which can help different nations to achieve sustainable development because of its capabilities to provide necessary information for decision-makers in order to balance economical, social and ecological paradigms of sustainable development in development projects. This research aims to assess the practice of the EIA processes in Rwanda and specifically seeks to identify the major challenges faced by environmental officers in this process. Given the nature of this research, policy review and desktop research methods have been used to study the current EIA procedures in Rwanda while a quantitative survey method was used to collect data and assess the practices of EIA process as well as the challenges faced by environmental officers in Rwanda. All environmental officers (8) who were dealing with EIA in Rwanda before the transfer of the EIA department to the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and all consultant companies which have been approved and which have at least done an EIA study in Rwanda (19) were targeted and received questionnaires via emails. All the environmental officers and 12 (63%) of the consultants responded to the questionnaire. The data was captured in the Software Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) template after being coded and has been analysed thematically. The policy review reveals that the current procedures are being developed given that the EIA process started in 2005. Like many developing countries, implementation remains a key challenge. Institutional arrangements remain to be finalised. In terms of the survey findings, even if EIA officers are more experienced than EIA consultants both have some skill gaps including using Geographical Information System (GIS) and remote sensing, understanding project management and customer care skills. Additionally, they receive very little training and capacity-building opportunities, although they desire these. The main challenges identified related to insufficient baseline data, funding, shortage of staff, lack of adequate resources, instilling environmental awareness among developers (developers perceive EIA as a barrier) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) which is not conducted.

▼ Coastal systems like lagoons and estuaries are faced with severe human developmental endeavours. In South Africa, more than 30% of the population lives along the 3000 kilometer coastline. The Durban bay is no exception especially with the existing Durban harbour taking up the natural expanse of the bay. The bay is burdened with a diversity of anthropogenic endeavours, from port operations to industrial activities, to storm water drainage outlets, through to various recreational ventures. These activities have over the years caused a reduction of the bay‘s mangrove forest, reduced the population of some biota and caused extinction of some indigenous species. Five areas were selected based on the specific activities and infrastructure that occurred there. Samples of water from these pre-selected sites were collected routinely and analysed for their water quality status. The overall water quality within the bay compared with the DWAF water quality guidelines for South Africa was identified as below stipulated standards. The dissolved oxygen contents as well as nutrients in the form of nitrogen content in its assorted forms are some of the most affected water quality indicators. The majority of the sub standard water quality levels, indicators which are critical to the proper functioning, growth and reproduction of biota within the ecosystems of the bay obtained could be linked directly or indirectly to the activities within the area of sampling. The resultant chemical and physical conditions in water quality created as a result of the ongoing activities within the bay are not suitable for proper feeding, growth and reproduction of ecosystems. This has caused many species within the bay to migrate or adapt to the adverse conditions and such situations are likely to worsen if stringent measures are not taken in the near future. It appears that the some species are exhibiting some degree of resilience and are at the moment surviving the relatively harsh conditions within the bay. The long term effect of the ever expanding anthropogenic disturbances on the ecosystems are unpredictable and it is therefore imperative that more stringent environmental management plans, programs and policies, legally binding, are formulated to serve as a check on all who benefit from the bay‘s resources.

▼ Two of the challenges facing Africa in the 21st Century are effective use of restricted water resources and ensuring food security especially for poor communities. In line with these aims, the eThekwini municipality has introduced a multi-tier system of water supply ranging from full pressure reticulated systems along with flush toilets to standpipes and dry toilet systems. In the latter case, it was soon recognized that the disposal of greywater presented a problem. Bearing in mind that South Africa is already a water scarce region, research was initiated into finding means of using this water as a resource rather than as a waste. Initial on-site trials using the greywater to irrigate crops proved popular and it was then regarded as necessary to test the possible health effects on the communities of such a system. A controlled field trial using pot plantings of a selected range of edible vegetables was initiated at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Crops were tested both internally and externally for a range of indicator and potentially pathogenic organisms. Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) techniques were used to assess the health risk to communities from growing and eating the greywater- irrigated vegetables. Although there was a health risk related to most of the activities, especially the handling of the greywater itself, the risks could be brought within the World Health Organisation guidelines of less than one case of disease per 10 000 people per year by the implementation of simple barrier interventions. The greywater irrigated crops themselves, did not present a statistically higher risk of infection than the crops irrigated with either hydroponic solution or tap water. These findings show the importance of applying QMRA to each case to determine health risk. This would allow the productive use of greywater and other water sources in the correct circumstances, thus providing food sustainability for people who currently do not have access to the levels of high purity water currently recommended for agriculture.

▼ Cities are considered to be a major cause of climate change, as a result of city functions, which require energy and emit large quantities of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs). Therefore, cities are being targeted globally as key areas for climate change mitigation. In order to mitigate the impacts of climate change, it is important for policy makers to be able to understand the implications of possible future policy decisions and development plans on emissions. One possible way of developing forecasts is through emissions scenarios, which allow for the development of a series of forecasts based on changes in the drivers of emissions. The city of Durban is a developing city, which aims to promote economic development; however, this development would increase the demand for energy and therefore impact on the GHG emissions in the city. The aim of this study is to develop a number of GHG emissions scenarios that illustrate the implications of various development paths for the city. The methodology applied involved first identifying the gaps in existing GHG inventories for Durban and the data required to close these gaps. The data was input into the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) tool, which is a physical accounting and simulation tool that allows for the creation of scenarios. Five scenarios were created to illustrate different ways in which the city might develop which are the Growth without Constraints (GWC) Scenario, the Business as Usual (BAU) Scenario, the Natural Transition City, the Slow Go City and the Low Carbon City. Lastly, a sixth scenario, the Required by Science (RBS), was not modelled but created to illustrate what would be required if Durban followed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stabilisation guideline of a reduction of 60% - 80% of 1990 levels by 2100. Thereafter the IPCC scenarios were downscaled from a national level to a local level using a linear downscaling methodology, in order to illustrate the implications of global development paths on the city. The different development paths had a range of impacts on emissions. Rapid economic growth, with no climate change mitigation in the GWC Scenario, results in a 6.3 times increase in emissions from the base year to 2050. If the city continues with its current policies and strategies as in the BAU Scenario, emissions will increase 3.5 times from the base year. If there is a transition to a post-industrial society, with no climate change mitigation, emissions will increase 3 fold from 2005 to 2050. The National Transition Scenario illustrated that if Durban moves towards a service sector economy, which are predominantly low carbon sector, with no climate change mitigation, emissions will still increase 3.15 times the 2005 levels. If the city is slow to respond to climate change as in the Slow Go City, emissions will increase 2.5 times from the base year. A shift in the structure of the economy and an increase in the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency (i.e. a Low Carbon City) results in reduction in emissions of 1%… Advisors/Committee Members: Diab, Roseanne D (advisor), Hounsome, Rob (advisor).

▼ In recent years there has been considerable advancement in our scientific understanding of the linkages and interactions between climate change and air quality. A warmer, evolving climate is likely to have severe consequences for air quality due to impacts on pollution sources and meteorology. The issues of poor air quality and anthropogenic induced climate change further share common sources of pollutants and thus options for control. The possibility to include these complex linkages to climate change in South Africa’s air quality policy, the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act (Act No.39 of 2004) (the AQA), includes the use of local air quality management plans (AQMPs). The extent to which South African cities are currently incorporating climate change concerns into existing AQMPs and the opportunities for improved integration of these two issues was investigated using the eThekwini Municipality or the city of Durban as a case study. Climate change and air quality issues are currently dealt with separately in Durban, overlooking an opportunity to derive multiple benefits from integrative policies. This case study primarily focused on understanding the role that the AQMP could play in support of creating a low carbon resilient city through its influence on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Emission inventories focusing on both air pollutants and GHG emissions were developed for two of the areas for intervention prioritised in Durban’s AQMP, namely the road transportation and industrial sectors. The emissions inventories were used as a basis to explore air pollution interventions that are likely to result in trade-offs or synergies (or co-benefits) for GHG mitigation. For the industrial sector it was found that the implementation of industrial energy efficiency and fuel switching measures would be favourable for co-benefits. In the case of road transport, reducing the vehicle kilometres travelled by privately owned motor vehicles and improving the efficiency of road freight transport offers the greatest potential for achieving co-benefits. The case study further illustrates that in the short-to medium-term air quality management (AQM) planning may help to promote climate change awareness and action toward climate change mitigation through improved co-ordination of industrial, energy and transport plans. The introduction of voluntary programmes, municipal by-laws and or regulatory guidance from the AQA, that support strategies with co-benefits is critical to ensure that local AQMPs can be used to promote reductions or avoidance of GHG emissions. In the long-term, climate change impacts on meteorological factors that influence air quality also need to be considered in AQMPs so that the most effective interventions can be selected to support the local government’s climate change adaptation goals.

▼ Wetlands have long been recognised as enhancing the quality of inflowing waters, particularly regarding the plant macronutrients nitrogen and phosphorus. Any research into non-limiting solutes has largely been of a 'black box' nature, with no insights into mechanism of retention presented. Research in the Okavango Delta, Botswana and preliminary work in the uMkhuze Wetland System, South Africa has identified retention of large amounts of non-limiting solutes within these wetland systems. Chemical sedimentation in the Okavango accounts for 360 000 tonnes per year, while a rough mass balance in the uMkhuze Wetland System suggested retention on a scale of 16 000 tonnes per year. The Yengweni and Totweni Drainage Lines are north-south oriented systems that, together with the uMkhuze River floodplain, were selected to investigate chemical retention in the uMkhuze Wetland System. These drainage lines were once tributaries of the uMkhuze River that have been dammed at their southern ends by alluvial deposition on the uMkhuze River floodplain to form tributary valley lakes. Considering seasonal variations in groundwater levels in combination with conductivity, sites of solute concentration were revealed in the groundwater. The use of chloride as a concentration tracer has indicated that solutes are progressively depleted in the groundwater under the influence of a concentration mechanism, with silicate minerals and calcite attaining saturation. Groundwater chemistry and hydrological factors have highlighted the southern Yengweni and floodplain regions as active sites of solute concentration. In these areas, groundwater elevations are variable, which is mirrored by variation in groundwater chemistry. Although elevated solute concentrations do occur elsewhere, the seasonal variation is less marked. The search for solute sinks in the uMkhuze Wetland System also considered the sediment of the wetland system as a possible sink. Elevated solute concentrations in the groundwater could be linked to the accumulation of minerals in the soil, suggesting precipitation of minerals by saturation under a concentration process. In tho southern Yengweni and floodplain regions, concentrated groundwater bodies were linked to high concentrations of minerals in the soil, including neoformed montmorillonite, and calcite deposits. Other sites of chemical concentration in the groundwater in the northern Yengweni and Totweni Drainage Lines have produced little modification of the reworked marine sands on which the wetland is founded. Processes in the southern Yengweni and floodplain regions are clearly more efficient in removing solutes from the wetland surface water and immobilising them in the soil of the drainage line than is happening in the Totweni and northern Yengweni regions. Transpiration by vegetation seems to be the major factor driving chemical sedimentation in this subtropical system, and as such vegetation in this wetland system is not the passive factor it is often assumed to be. The vegetation of the wetland is itself initiating and…

▼ A major topic in natural science research is land degradation and unwise land use resulting in biodiversity loss and impact negatively on ecosystem functioning. In addition, an increasing human population trend leads to food security concerns. Some commercial farmers are ideally placed on the interface between agricultural and natural systems to investigate these issues. In this thesis we investigate the quaternary catchment-scale biodiversity, land-use patterns and interactions between conservation, restoration and agricultural activities in an agriculturally productive valley. The 40,000ha Koedoes River Catchment in Limpopo Province produces high numbers of tomatoes, avocados and mangoes. Most of this catchment is managed by ZZ2, a farming conglomerate that practice an environmentally sensitive approach to commercial farming. In the first two chapters a fine-scale vegetation map is created for the catchment, accompanied by detailed descriptions of the eleven mapped vegetation units. Over a 1300m altitudinal range, three biomes, 49 red-listed plant species, fifteen protected tree species and more than 500 species of vascular plant are represented in the catchment. In a subsequent chapter, the catchment-wide land-use patterns were mapped and related to vegetation patterns. The most expansive vegetation type appears to be one of the most threatened because large areas have been converted to croplands, while one of the most biodiverse vegetation units is severely threatened by degradation and invasive plants. Using this information, in addition to stakeholder feedback regarding the relative supply and demand for ecosystem services, a map of high priority biodiversity, ecosystem services and agricultural use areas was created to serve as a strategic management tool for stakeholders and land managers. In the final chapter the fine-scale effects of land use practices on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning are investigated. Using invertebrate community data from three adjacent headwater sub-catchments, invertebrate diversity and downstream biological water quality (measured by SASS5) was related to upstream land use. Ultimately, this thesis serves to illustrate some of the complex interactions and inter-dependencies between conservation and agriculture, and to offer evidence for mutually beneficial synergies between both these important sectors.

▼ The need for housing developments in South Africa has grown significantly over that last 12 years. On the one end of the scale there is the desperate need for housing by the homeless and on the other end there is substantial growth of the middleclass indicating better buying power and the explosion of the property market that made investment in housing very attractive. Examples of these two parallel levels of housing are the Sipumulele low cost housing development that is situated in the eThekwini Municipality and was developed by government. On the other side of the scale is the upmarket Koelwaters residential development situated on the South Coast of KwaZulu Natal in the Hibiscus Municipality and was developed by a private developer. In conjunction with this demand for housing there is also international pressure to comply with sustainable develop guidelines and approaches. Both these developments are situated on ecological sensitive land. As legal requirements both these developments were required to do scoping reports to assess their environmental impacts. In South African, Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for various new developments has been formally required in terms of Legislation for the last 8 years, although the legislation has been in place for the last 16 years. Is this legislation assisting in securing more sustainable development? It is agued that sustainable development should be founded on ecological justice principles. This research explores the concept of ecological justice and how it is linked with sustainable development. It identifies ecological justice principles that should be used in the compilation and assessment of EIAs. The field research explored how decision makers in practise are using the current legislation and if they are at all considering ecological justice in their decision making. This is done though a serious of interviews with the critical decision makers with regard to EIA's and key role players in the development process of specifically the two above mentioned housing projects. During the interviews qualitative questions were asked relating to the developments, the EIA process and ecological justice. There was a focus on interpreting the awareness of decision makers regarding development and layout and on improving developments to determine to what level they follow ecological justice principles. In the broader sense this research is contributing to the understanding of ecological justice and the clarifications of ecological justice principles. It also contributes to understanding the South African housing development context and the movement of South African Developments towards sustainability.

▼ This research examines how recommendations for ecological restoration at a landscape scale are collaboratively developed and integrated into the United States Forest Service (USFS) decision-making and implementation processes. As the USFS embarks upon innovative approaches to collaboration after decades of legislation that encourages public input and collaborative planning processes, the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) marks a shift as it requires collaboration through planning, implementation and monitoring on landscape scale ecological restoration projects. While collaborative planning has become widely practiced in public lands management (Wondolleck & Yaffee, 2000; Koontz et al., 2004), challenges emerge about how to provide for effective collaboration throughout implementation. Collaborative literature suggests that formal processes create a clear decision-making structure and provide legitimacy (Bryson et al., 2006), and more informal processes help generate the dialogue and innovation necessary to resolve complex problems (Innes et al., 2007). Other normative principles suggest the success of collaborative planning is contingent upon having an open and inclusive process with representation from all stakeholder groups that have a stake in the issue at hand (Gray, 1989; Innes & Booher, 2010). In this research, I examine how different collaborative organizational structures can shape effective collaborative implementation. The question this research analyzes is: How do the different collaborative organizational structures perform in processing information, enabling dialogue among diverse interests, generating recommendations, and contributing to the implementation of landscape restoration? I address this question through a comparative case analysis of five of the collaborative groups originally funded under CFLRP in 2010. I conducted more than 10 interviews with participants from each landscape collaborative, analyzed numerous documents from the original proposals to annual reports, NEPA planning documents, meeting minutes and other relevant materials, and observed collaborative meetings on all of the landscapes. While each collaborative group developed various organizational structures and processes for creating opportunities for dialogue and processing technical information, they each performed differently in regard to the generation of recommendations for restoration treatments. Through my comparative analysis of the different collaborative groups, I found that the highest performing group was strategically and systematically inclusive of a range of interests and formally established with a charter between the group and USFS. Meanwhile, informal and exclusive structures struggled to obtain social legitimacy and were unable to develop and deliver recommendations that were incorporated into agency decision-making. Moreover, inconsistent meeting forums made it difficult to engage in dialogue, process information, or generate recommendations. I conclude with propositions about… Advisors/Committee Members: William H.
