Understanding the Role of Research in Parks and Protected Areas and Applying Evidence
THIS SITE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT
The purpose of this primer is to provide a basis for understanding the role of research in park management and the importance of applying evidence to decisions regarding park management.
This primer is intended to be a resource for decision-makers, politicians, journalists, and others who want to be more informed about research and the importance of incorporating research evidence into decision-making for park management.
Managers who oversee Canada’s natural resources are among those public servants who have a moral obligation to make evidence a vital part of any decision involving parks and public spaces. “We can do this by learning how to distinguish science from folklore, data from assertions, and evidence from beliefs, anecdotes or personal opinions” (Barends et al., 2012, pg. 1).
Outcomes and Expectations
At the end of this self-directed primer participants will have an understanding of the role research plays in decision-making.
