“…This in turn has led to great concern about the impacts of increased development and indices of potential disturbance (Racey & Euler, 1983). While concerns have been raised about the effects of development on lakeshore flora Dwyer & Childs, 2004) and fauna , probably the strongest voices have been around effects of increased development on water quality (e.g., Dillon et al, 1994;Hendry & Leggatt, 1982), leading to discussion of potential policy actions (e.g., Meyer et al, 1997;WDNR, 1996). A more subtle form of action is at work here as well.…”

Vexing problems of global environmental change call for better conceptual and analytical approaches for understanding human behaviors, factors influencing these behaviors, and the causal pathways through which these shape social and environmental outcomes. While human identity meanings provide key analytic objects in the interrogation of these dynamics, identity-based research has been truncated by a historic overemphasis on social factors and a lack of critical engagement with the ecological context of these processes. Adapting Giddens's concept of structuration, we draw on recent advances in socialecological systems scholarship and human structural ecology to propose a new conceptual approach for understanding human identity processes and their relation to social-ecological structure. Resituating the human person within complex socialecological systems, we suggest some causal pathways through which ecological (in addition to social) elements are active in the emergence of human identity and, conversely, the ways in which identity-based behaviors interact dialectically with social-ecological structure to produce outcomes significant along both social and ecological dimensions. Finally, we explore some implications of this reframing for the interrogation of society-nature dynamics and for empirical research engaging with social-ecological change and resilience.

“…In this paper our focus is those social relationships that may influence land use and land management decisions by landowners. Such relationships include the relationships among landowners and between landowners and others such as agency staff and other managers Dwyer and Childs 2004). These relationships are important for the environmental subjectivities and institutions that develop in amenity migration areas and for the material practices and landscapes that result.…”

Amenity migration to attractive and accessible non-metropolitan areas changes social and environmental relations with consequences for natural resource management and landscape composition and trajectories. Lifestyler oriented rural landholders are often cast as a problem for land management and extension. Managers and some researchers see them as a cause of landscape and social fragmentation and report difficulties in engaging such landowners on natural resource management issues and responsibilities. In contrast, limited existing research indicates that lifestylers do join and form networks of personal and other contacts for advice and support in land management. We contribute to this research with a survey of rural landholders in southeastern New South Wales (NSW). We explicitly compare the sources of advice for land management for lifestylers with those of farmers. We focus on the types of sources available to rural landholders in Australian regions and their relative importance to these two landholder groups. We find that lifestylers and farmers are different in their sources of advice but that both prefer personal sources rather than sources such as agencies. We reflect on the significance of the differences for engagement with lifestyle oriented rural landowners and for understanding landscape change.

“…The popularity for developing and applying typologies of landholders and farming systems has waxed and waned over the years and seems, at present, to be undergoing a resurgence. The developing interest in landholder typologies appears to parallel the social phenomenon that has been variously described as population turnaround, counter-urbanisation (Newton and Bell 1996;Argent 2002;Barr 2003;Dwyer and Childs 2004) and the 'sea-change' movement (Burnley and Murphy 2004) that has occurred in developed countries since the 1970s.…”

“…The intermixing of people with varied social value systems and capacities to undertake sustainable land management practices poses a number of challenges to those seeking to promote sustainable land management (Hollier et al 2003;Dwyer and Childs 2004), and has reinforced the need to develop understanding of the socio-economic variability within the rural community.…”

T h i s a r t i c l e r e v i e w s t h e l i t e r a t u r e o n t h e identification of landholder typologies that can be used to assist the design and delivery of naturaldifferences lead to variation in the impacts of policies and programs across the community. The development of classification schemes to help understand the range of variation in a phenomenon and to assist in interpreting the reasons for, and effects of, the variety is characteristic of the development of any scientific discipline (Kostrowicki 1977 Kobrich et al. 2003;Emtage 2004aEmtage , 2004b. There is also considerable interest in being able to track effectively the impacts of financial assistance and economic development programs on landholders in varying circumstances and with differing life values (Johnson 2002; AAFC 2002). Anthropologists, marketing professionals and political analysts, whose task it is to track public opinions, have for a long time sought to identify homogeneous clusters or groups of people in the community.This type of approach can be applied to identify groups (or types) of landholders in relation to NRM. Developing a landholder 'typology' is one way of avoiding a blanket a p p r o a c h t o l a n d h o l d e r s , a n d a t t h e s a m e t i m e recognising that it is impossible to have policies and programs tailored to each individual. One advantage of developing a landholder typology is that it provides a multi-dimensional profile of landholders and the interrelationships between their values, attitudes, informationseeking behaviour, socio-economic characteristics and N R M p r a c t i c e s . A n i n t i m a t e u n d e r s t a n d i n g o f landholders' circumstances, values and capacities is needed for successful engagement and development programs (see, for example, Aslin and Brown 2004). Studies that have investigated landholders' capacity to adopt sustainable NRM practices have typically provided * Nick Emtage was formerly
