Description: Examination of natural resources often leaves out one important component-the human element. To enable resource managers and researchers to exchange information and ideas about the human dimensions of natural resources, the second Symposium on Social Aspects and Recreation Research was held February 23-25, 1994, in San Diego, California. The format of the symposium offered various opportunities for interactive communication among attendees. The proceedings contain abbreviated versions of 29 oral presentations, and summaries of sessions covering poster presentations, simulated field trips, and round table discussions. Issues addressed include these: conflicts, ecosystem management, multicultural groups, land ethics, protection and safety, partnership and service delivery, pilot project and new paradigms, economic issues and resource management case studies.

Key Words: conflict, conflict resolution, ecosystem management, human dimensions, land ethics, multicultural groups
