註釋Most of the literature addressing relationships between representation and public participation in natural resource management contains assumptions that are incomplete and therefore problematic. The goal of this paper is to remedy this shortcoming by expanding current understanding of representation at the local level. It provides an overview of descriptive, subjective, and objective forms of representation, showing that representation can have different & potentially conflicting meanings depending on the type emphasized. This is followed by a statistical comparison of socio-economic variables and the beliefs & attitudes of Alberta residents with those who are charged with representation in resource management decisions. The final section discusses possible tensions between the different forms of representation and between group differences.
