摘要

The reported research illustrates how qualitative research methods may be useful in assessing relevant issues for natural resource management and valuation. The research findings show that our sample of mid-Michigan residents was cognizant of wetlands but that their knowledge was uneven. Most of our respondents had some prior knowledge of wetland functions such as provision of wildlife habitat, maintenance of groundwater flows, and floodwater retention. That is, many participants seemed knowledgeable about some of the animals and plants found in wetland areas and could relate their wetland understanding to the wetlands they have seen in Michigan. However, the participants did not seem to have a general understanding of wetland ecosystems, wetland protection or mitigation policies. Furthermore, some functions identified by wetland science, such as retention of polluted run-off and waste treatment, were rejected by participants as apparently illegitimate purposes for the state's natural wetlands. For example, a portion of respondents thought that pollution retention would harm the ability of a wetland to support wildlife and other functions while others thought that current environmental laws, not wetlands, should lead to cleanup of pollution.
