Schraml, U., University of Freiburg (Germany). Institute of Forest and Environmental Policy
In wildlife management, it has been established that the understanding of animals is equally relevant as the behavior and attitudes of those people who come into contact with them. Although, in this context, the importance of human dimensions is regularly emphasized, adequate research has not yet been conducted in many countries. Particularly in the social sciences, the management of animals and specifically the dealing with hunters is only vaguely understood. in this context, the paper describes some blind spots in social sciences and addresses the traditions of applied research involving hunters. It introduces some examples of recent research and draws conclusions for further development in this field, concerning the social dimension of wildlife management in Europe.
