Abstract
Traditional social attitudes towards natural resources management are undergoing dramatic change. The exponential growth of demands and the environmental movement have brought about a rejection of conventional planning concepts. Planning solely to meet projected requirements is no longer adequate. A new planning concept is evolving in which alternative futures are postulated, a public choice is made, and resource management is viewed as a tool to bring about the desired situation. Choices among alternative futures involve significant value judgments. The public must be brought into the planning process if such choices are to be accepted as legitimate. Recent legislative measures and administrative actions are setting the stage for public participation in resources management.
