Considerable social science research has been conducted at the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) since inception of the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) and National Fire Plan (NFP). The Current project was designed to meet two primary goals: 1) summarize and prioritize current knowledge pertaining to fire-safe communities, and 2) develop effective tech transfer tools to communicate findings to local agencies and citizen groups. To summarize current knowledge, the research team conducted an extensive review of literature published after 2000. This review provided the basis for discussion at a capstone workshop (Wildland Fire Summit) attended by many of the primary scientists in the field. Workshop discussions highlighted key findings in the collective body of social science research, identified areas where success has been achieved in building fire-safe communities, and also revealed existing gaps in social science knowledge. The literature review and workshop discussions informed development of our primary deliverables: 1) a synthesis of research results that highlights important findings and lessons learned, 2) identification of key factors that influence community support and homeowner behavior, 3) a DVD demonstrating how agency personnel and community leaders have created fire-safe programs in local communities, 4) afield guidedesigned to accompany the DVD production that provides a stepwise approach to implementation, and 5) development of numerous publications and resources suitable for use by practitioner audiences. This project provided the impetus for members of the research team to go well beyond expected outcomes. As a result, the project deliverables (26 publications, 43 conference and workshop presentations) exceed the original number anticipated Examples include a formal report for the Joint Fire Science Program Board of Directors prioritizing future social science research needs, a USDA Forest Service General Technical Report for Partners on Fire Education which addressed eight essential questions of interest, and numerous interactions with other research scientists on related projects.
