Economic, Legal and Social Aspects of Post-Fire Management

Ideally decisions about post fire management and restoration measures should consider ecological, social and economic criteria. This chapter presents which economic and social aspects are important when implementing post-fire management and restoration. First two key economic criteria, economic efficiency and distributional effects, that should be considered are explored. Whereas, the subsequent sections review legal and social aspects of post fire management.
