    People's use of information in the management of natural resources

    Abstract
    People misuse information. Misuse of information can result in inadequate techniques and policies for managing natural resources. Misuse of information occurs when people inaccurately observe information about a resource .and its users, and when people develop management policies and techniques for the resource based on that information. Misuse of information is caused by a person's biased perception of the physical and social world and by the management organisation within which a person works. People can improve their use of information if they review critically what they know about a resource management issue, determine the source of their information, identify possible group processes that affect information use, and review their past involvement with the management of a natural resource....
