Abstract
Relational marketing provides a framework for examining and preserving human relationships with landscapes, including place meanings. On the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana, a Web-based mapping exercise allowed residents to locate and describe places that hold meaning for them, indicate the scale and intensity of those meanings, and characterize their perceptions of threats to these places. Here results are presented from a mapping exercise designed to facilitate group discussions with forest managers and the public regarding fuel treatments on tribally managed lands. The method built trust among tribal and non-tribal residents and improved fire planners’ understanding of relationships between proposed actions and place meanings.
