The work responds to the need to assess progress toward sustainable forest manage-ment as established by the Montréal Process of Criteria and Indicators. The focus is ona single indicator (commonly referred to as Indicator 46), which addresses the “viabilityand adaptability to changing economic conditions, of forest-dependent communities,including indigenous communities.” From county-level data, a composite measure wasdeveloped that combined population density, lifestyle diversity, and economic resiliency.There are 837 counties assigned a low rating representing 36 percent of the area of theUnited States but that contain less than 3 percent of the U.S. population. The rest of thepopulation is roughly divided among the 2,064 counties assigned medium ratings and the209 counties assigned high ratings. Of the forest-dependent communities, there are 742counties with a high proportion of forest land, but only 14 percent are classified as havinglow viability and adaptability.

Keywords: Community resiliency, criteria and indicators, forest dependency, MontréalProcess, socioeconomic well-being, sustainable forest management.

A fundamental societal concern increasingly debated in the past two decades has beenthe need for human actions that lead to sustainable development that meets the needsof the present without comprising the ability of future generations to meet their needs(WCED 1987). This debate has broadened to include notions of sustainability as a nor-mative concept reflecting the persistence over an indefinite future of certain necessaryand desirable characteristics of both ecological and human parts of an ecosystem (modi-fied from Hodge 1997). Within the forestry community, these concerns manifested them-selves in the development of frameworks for assessing the progress toward sustainableforest management.

The United States is a signatory participant of the Montréal Process for assessing prog-ress toward sustainable forest management. The Montréal Process is largely used bycounties with temperate forest resources and involves seven criteria and 67 indicators.1

Two of the criteria (numbers six and seven and containing 39 of the 67 indicators) ad-dress various human concerns including components of social well-being. These twocriteria address the need for forest management to meet societal needs and maintainand enhance long-term multiple socioeconomic benefits. This is a broader context thanthe frequently cited goal of managing forests to sustain a flow of timber and other ben-efits to promote the stability of forest industries and communities.

The focus on communities is the subject of this paper. Specifically, the purpose of thispaper is to describe an approach to assess community viability and adaptability in thecontext of the Montréal Process of Criteria and Indicators for sustainable forest manage-ment (Montréal Process Working Group 1998). This is Indicator 46 of Criterion 6, whichdeals with the viability and adaptability to changing economic conditions of forest-depen-dent communities, including indigenous communities. The term community refers toboth the physical place and to the group of people who live in and identify with thatplace.

Criterion 6 and its 19 associated indicators (including Indicator 46) reflect one of theenduring goals of land management: the concern that forest management sustains aflow of timber and other benefits to promote the well-being of forest industries and com-munities. This criterion takes a broad view of how sustainable forest management influ-ences social well-being that includes the expected concerns about determinants ofeconomic well-being (often measured by jobs) as well as concerns about communitywell-being. The criterion reflects a notable evolution in thinking on the part of decision-makers, researchers, resource managers, and the public about the relation betweencommunities and forests, as well as what constitutes sustainable forest management.

The discussions2 of this indicator suggested that there are two types of variables for thisindicator: (a) measures of economic dependency on forests and (b) social well-being ofcommunities. Social well-being would be a measure of both the capacity of communitiesto respond to changes and the socioeconomic status of people. In the reviews of theU.S. efforts to develop a national report on sustainable forests,3 there were suggestionsthat measures of dependency should be considered as part of Indicator 44 (employmentin the forest sector), but for clarity, both economic and social aspects of well-being areconsidered in the development of this indicator.

The Montréal Process provides little guidance for defining communities although the in-formation that is available largely addresses communities of place. The various technicalnotes on the subject refer to communities generically as forest-dependent communitiesand indigenous communities. They stress the need to assess using quantitative andqualitative information of the trends on the status of a community’s flexibility and capac-ity to adapt to changing economic conditions. Little guidance is available for whichscales need to be considered other than general direction to deal with national, regional,and local concerns. No guidance is provided for how to scale community informationupward to broader spatial scales.

I acknowledge that there are severe data limitations for assessing community viabilityand adaptability at the national scale as required in the Montréal Process. Foremost,there is a lack of systematic community-level databases except in some unique cases(such as the Pacific Northwest) where they have been assembled as part of ecoregionassessments. Even where the data have been assembled, there are severe limitationsfor measuring certain elements of community viability and adaptability.

The past two decades have seen an evolution of many terms used to depict communi-ties that have distinct connections to forest resources: community stability, forest de-pendence, forest based, community capacity, community resiliency, and now with theMontréal Process, community viability and adaptability. Viability and adaptability are notexplicitly defined in the Montréal Process but have the connotation of some of the morerecent terms such as resiliency.

This evolution of terms reveals the evolving emphasis on the complex, dynamic, andinterrelated aspects of rural communities and the natural resources that surround them.The earliest terms dealt with the limits between improved forest management and stablecommunities achieved through stable employment. By the late 1980s, the notion of com-munity stability as reflective of sustained-yield timber management was being called intoquestion (Lee 1990, Schallau 1989). Although the use of the term stability continued toendure in policy debates, concern was raised about the lack of a clear definition of stabil-ity and how it might be measured (see Richardson 1996). Seeking alternative terms,some researchers began looking beyond employment indicators to other aspects of

community life in order to assess community well-being (Doak and Kusel 1996, Kuseland Fortmann 1991). In addition to economic measures, indicators for poverty, educa-tion, crime, and other sociodemographic measures have been used to assess conditionswithin communities.

There are two definitions key to developing a measure for Indicator 46. First, communi-ties are defined in terms of a sense of place, organization, or structure. Second, econo-mies are defined by transactions among people that allocate scarce resources amongalternative uses. The spatial configurations of both differ, with economies generally beingspatially the larger of the two.

Concurrent with discussions about stability and well-being were discussions about theterm forest dependence, including several appeals to redefine that term (Richardson andChristensen 1997). Forest and timber dependence were initially defined in terms of com-modity production. Various research studies suggest that communities are more com-plex than traditional measurements of timber dependency would imply (see Haynes andothers 1996). Most communities have mixed economies, and their vitality is often linkedto other factors besides commodity production. Many of the communities thought of astimber dependent have been confronted with economically significant challenges, suchas mill closures, and have displayed resilient behavior as they have dealt with change.Arguments for redefining the term forest dependence emphasized that the economic tiesthat some communities have to forests are not wood product based, but reside in recre-ation and other amenities (Kusel 1996). Another concern was that the term forest de-pendence did not reflect the local living traditions and sense of place held by many com-munities (Kusel 1996). This broader connotation of the term forest dependence is oftenwhat is implied by the term forest based.

The terms community capacity and community resiliency connote the ability of a com-munity to take advantage of opportunities and deal with change (Doak and Kusel 1996,Harris and others 2000). The terms resiliency and, arguably to a lesser extent, capacitydiffer in meaning from terms such as forest dependence because they represent a pro-jected condition or ability of a community over some period. Levels of resiliency are dy-namic, just like external factors that might induce change within a community. TheForest Service is shifting its focus from dependency to concepts like resiliency (seeHorne and Haynes 1999, McCool and others 1997). Based on Harris and others (2000),factors useful in assessing community resiliency or adaptability include:

• Population size—Resiliency ratings vary directly with population size:

• Small (and often lower resiliency), less than 1,500 people.

• Large (often associated with higher resiliency), greater than 5,000 people.

• Economic diversity—Resiliency ratings vary directly with population size.

• Civic infrastructure—Higher resiliency is associated with strong civic leadership,positive attitudes toward changes, strong social cohesion.

• Amenities—Combines both civic amenities as well as natural amenities.

• Location—Locations on major trade routes; near service centers; shopping, service,or resort destinations are associated with higher resiliency. Spatial isolation is oftena characteristic of lower resiliency.

The history behind the evolution of terms combined with the results of recent and currentwork suggest that connectivity to broad regional economies, community cohesivenessand place attachment, and civic leadership are greater factors in determining communityviability and adaptability than factors related to employment.

There are three considerations necessary for the development of a measure of commu-nity viability and adaptability. First, there are various factors listed in the previous sectionused to depict communities and their ability to deal with changes such as changes inthe management of the surrounding forests. Second, there is a need to be specific aboutthe geographic scale at which to construct the measure. Third, there is also the issueabout how to judge the “goodness” of any measure that is developed. Recent work onecological indicators (see National Research Council 2000) suggests the following crite-ria for such judgments: the extent the measure is based on a well-understood concep-tual model, its reliability, its ability to detect differences at appropriate spatial scales,and its robustness in the sense of being able to yield reliable measures given the vari-ability in the data.

The first step is to select what factors to use and how to develop measurements of thosefactors. From the previous review, the following factors were selected for assessing thedegree of community viability and adaptability: population size, economic diversity, andamenities lifestyle. The proportion of forest land in the surrounding area was used tomeasure forest dependency.

The second step involves at what spatial scale this work needs to be conducted. Thenotion of a social hierarchy combines both political and individual person organizationunits. For example, one representation is from broad common markets to nations, tostates, to counties, to communities and neighborhoods, to families and persons (see forexample, Quigley and others 1996). In the context of the Montréal Process, Indicator 46needs to assess conditions at the national level based on an understanding developedfrom the next lower spatial scale. In the United States, that scale would most likely bestates; however, it is difficult to generalize community conditions at that level.5 A compro-mise to gain both greater spatial resolution and to overcome the lack of community datasets is to use county data. These data sets have been used to monitor well-being and toreveal geographic variation, but most social scientists do not like to use these data setsas proxies for communities, primarily because of the lack of data richness for variouscomponents of social well-being such as community leadership and infrastructure, qual-ity of life, welfare, and social and economic health of a community.

Using county data, we can use the general approach developed by Horne and Haynes(1999), which used county data to develop measures of socioeconomic resiliency (de-fined as the ability of human institutions [both communities and economies] to adapt tochange) for the interior Columbia basin. The advantage of this approach was that it wasmeasurable in the context of the definition of social well-being by using existing informa-tion. Horne and Haynes (1999) developed a composite measure of three factors: eco-nomic resiliency (as a measure of economic diversity in employment), population density(a proxy for civic infrastructure), and lifestyle diversity (a proxy for social and cultural

Developing aMeasure ofCommunity Viabilityand Adaptability

5 For example, the state of Oregon (a relatively smallstate) has some 400 communities. Donoghue andHaynes (2002) found that about 10 percent of Oregon’scommunities with about 2 percent of Oregonians hadlow viability and adaptability.

diversity). Using this approach, we find that counties that have high socioeconomic resil-iency demonstrate quick adaptation as indicated by rebounding measures of socioeco-nomic well-being, whereas counties with low resiliency have more lingering negativeimpacts. The terms high or low should not be thought of as good or bad but rather as areflection of the ability of a county to respond to changes in social or economic factors.

Here, a similar approach was developed for the 3,110 counties (and some city-countyand borough combinations) in the United States. A composite measure was developedfor each county that considered civic infrastructure, economic diversity (in terms of em-ployment), and lifestyle diversity. Forest dependency was interpreted as being related tothe extent that each county was forested (measured by proportion of forest land in eachcounty).

Proxy measures were developed for each component of the composite measure. Eachproxy was assigned a rating of 1 for low, 2 for medium, and 3 for high. The definitionsdiffer for each measure. Population density represents civic infrastructure. Here, countieswith fewer than six people per square mile were assigned a rating of 0. These have beencalled frontier counties following the definition from the 1890 census. Counties with 6 to27 people per square mile represent rural areas. Counties with 28 to 250 people persquare mile are called intermix counties, and those with over 250 people per square mileare called interface counties6 and essentially represent urbanlike characteristics. Eco-nomic diversity (based on a Shannon-Weaver diversity index) is computed from employ-ment in major sectors including agriculture. Ratings are assigned that reflect how thediversity of a county compares relative to the average of U.S. counties. A high ratingreflects counties that are in the top 16 percent (one standard deviation) of counties, anda low rating reflects those counties in the bottom 16 percent of counties. A proxy forlifestyle diversity is composed (in equal parts) of proportion of the county population thatis minority (as a proxy for ethnic, income, and lifestyle diversity) and the availability ofnational forest lands (as a proxy for access to opportunities for outdoor recreation activi-ties). Minority status is based on variation around the country average (15.6 percent).Counties with minority populations greater than 23.94 percent were rated high, whereasthose with minority populations less than 7.3 percent were rated low. The ratings fornational forest are based on actual acres in each county. Counties with fewer than35,000 acres are assigned a rating of 1, whereas those counties with over 157,000 acresare assigned a rating of 3.

These indicators were used to develop a composite measure that combined populationdensity, lifestyle diversity, and economic resiliency. Those counties with a compositescore of 4 or less were assigned as having low adaptability and viability. Those countieswith a composite score of 4.5 to 6.5 were assigned as having medium adaptability andviability. Those counties with a composite score of 7 or greater were assigned as havinghigh adaptability and viability. A summary of the results is shown in table 1. There are837 counties assigned a low rating representing 36 percent of the area of the UnitedStates but just less than 3 percent of the U.S. population. The rest of the population isroughly evenly divided among the 2,064 counties assigned medium ratings and the 209counties assigned high ratings.

6 The definitions for intermix and interface are consistentwith research being undertaken as part of the fire plan.

Indicator 46 emphasizes the viability and adaptability of forest-dependent communities.Traditionally, this has been measured (in the United States) by the extent of employmentin forest industries, but this tends to overstate the importance of manufacturing (relativeto trade and services associated with activities such as recreation) and understates per-sonal connections to the forest for subsistence and nontraditional economic activities.Here, I use the extent of forest land in each county as a proxy for the dependence oflocal residents on forest resources. Three maps show the results (figs. 1 through 3).The colors denote the extent of forest land in each county. Those with less than the U.S.average (32.5 percent) are shown in yellow, those with more than the U.S. average areshown in green (32.5 to 66.2 percent forest land), and those with greater than 66.3 per-cent forest land are shown in blue. For the purpose of this indicator, it is the countiesshown in blue that represent forest-dependent communities. Figure 1 shows the countiesassigned a rating of low viability and adaptability. These counties contain 8.3 millionAmericans but comprise 36 percent of the area of the United States. Figures 2 and 3show the counties assigned a rating of medium or high viability and adaptability, respec-tively. Of the 742 counties with a high level of forest dependence (shown in blue), 102 areassigned a rating of low viability and adaptability.

Because the discussions of the indicator indicate a concern about those communitieswith less viability and adaptability, the detailed information for the 837 counties (and bor-oughs) assigned a low composite rating (shown in fig. 1) are listed in the appendix. Theresults for those counties with a low rating are summarized for both population and areain table 2 by four broad regions. The regional data illustrate how most of the people af-fected are in the two Eastern regions, whereas most of the area is in the West.

Although much of the emphasis has been on the counties with low composite rankings,most (640 counties) of the heavily forested counties have actually medium or highrankings. Many of these are counties with extensive urban populations such as those inAtlanta, Seattle, or Portland, whereas others contain significant recreation areas suchas Shenandoah and Olympic National Parks or the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. Theseresults suggest that forests often contribute to positive notions of the amenities associ-ated with residential and recreation areas.

There is a question of how well this indicator rates viability and adaptability. In the lastsection, several criteria were presented for such judgments. The first pertains to the ex-tent to which the measure is based on a well-understood conceptual model. Throughoutthis paper, I have argued that the evolution of the concern about the viability and adapt-ability of a community reflects the broader changes in our understanding of communitywell-being and its relation to the surrounding forest or natural resources. Although thereis often ambiguity about the definition of social well-being, there is acceptance of itsutility (see McCool and others 1997). The second criterion addresses the reliability of theindicator. One demonstration of this has been the previous use of similar indicators inboth community (Harris and others 2000) and bioregional assessments (see Horne andHaynes 1999, McCool and others 1997), and in state-level attempts to address sustain-able forest management (see Donoghue and Haynes 2002). In all cases, useful meas-ures were developed and helped expand our understanding of how communities differ intheir propensity to deal with external changes. The third criterion pertains to the ability ofan indicator to detect differences at appropriate spatial scales. The above examples alsodemonstrate these abilities in the various measures that were developed. The fourth cri-terion is robustness of the indicator to provide reliable measures given the variability inthe data. The various maps do illustrate the ability to deal with spatial differences, butadditional work will be needed to demonstrate the extent of temporal variation inherent insocial and economic data. In summary, as a first approximation, the measure developedhere for Indicator 46 meets most of the criteria for “goodness.”

These results (like those of Horne and Haynes 1999) suggest that most Americans livein areas with moderate to high viability and adaptability, but there are extensive areascharacterized by low viability and adaptability for economic and social changes. Figure 4illustrates this dilemma. It also suggests that extent of forest land is more or less evenlydistributed across areas of both low and high adaptability. Finally, it should not be con-cluded that these areas of low adaptability are in some type of distress. They simplyhave low adaptability or resiliency to social and economic changes.

It is interesting to note those counties that are both heavily forested and that have me-dium or high viability and adaptability. Of the 209 counties with high viability and adapt-ability, only 22 are heavily forested. Most of these are in urban areas such as Seattle. Ofthe 2,064 counties with medium viability and adaptability, 30 percent are heavily forested.Several are near urban areas, but others contain significant residential developmentsincluding counties thought of as recreation counties (see Johnson and Beale 1995) af-firming the rich connections between forests and human populations beyond just timberfor wood products. Of the 285 counties identified by Johnson and Beale (1995), 44 per-cent are heavily forested.

The intent of the original indicator was to identify forest-dependent communities. As wasargued in an earlier section, this is both difficult to do and is probably inappropriate atthe broad scale of national indicators. However, we do have community data for easternOregon where we can examine the relation between the counties rated as having lowadaptability and the communities in those counties. In eastern Oregon, there are 10counties rated as having low adaptability. These 10 counties contain 46 communitiesranging in size from a population of 3 to nearly 10,000. Of the 46 communities, 26 wererated by Reyna (1998) as being small, isolated from major population centers, andlacking in economic diversity. The results suggest that the approach taken to developa measure of Indicator 46 does provide a useful first approximation of areas where com-munity assistance may be needed to offset the effects of changes in broad-scale landmanagement.

Another inference concerns the intent of Indicator 46 to address those areas with indig-enous communities. Each county was assigned a scale for its extent of American Indianor Alaska Native population. Counties with an American Indian and Alaska Native popula-tion less than 1 percent were assigned a rating of 0. Those counties with a populationproportion between 1 and 5.77 percent were assigned a rating of 1 (the U.S. average is

12

1.9 percent). Those with a population greater than 5.78 percent were assigned a ratingof 2. Generally, indigenous communities are difficult to identify other than as communi-ties associated with American Indian reservations. For example, in eastern Oregon,Reyna (1998) identified seven communities as being associated with American Indianreservations. Only 1 of these communities is in 1 of the 10 counties identified as havinglow adaptability. Seven of the ten counties are identified as having average (1.9 percentof population) or higher populations of American Indians, but none has more than 5.77percent of its population as being American Indian. There are 65 counties and boroughsthat do have significant American Indian or Alaska Native populations. The largest num-bers are concentrated in six states: Alaska, Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, SouthDakota, and Oklahoma.

Finally, I caution against drawing inferences about economic conditions from the assign-ment of low viability and adaptability. In other studies (Horne and Haynes 1999), littlerelation is found between reduced economic opportunities and extent of forest land.

Indicator 46 attempts to address the links among land management, the flow of goodsand services, and social well-being of human communities. In that sense it reflects thecurrent scientific thinking about the relation between the biophysical and socioeconomiccomponents of ecosystems. It is difficult, however, to reconcile its intent with the almostmystical reference to communities without specific definition or clarity in terms of spatialhierarchy among communities and higher levels of administrative governments.

There are three possible research directions that can be taken to improve our treatmentof this indicator. First, there is the need for refinement of the specific proxies used in thecomposite measure. There is the opportunity to develop other midscale measures thatmight better represent social and economic conditions. Included in this should be anexamination of the relations between the variables used in developing the compositemeasure. Second, there is the need to use existing (or to develop new) community data-bases to better understand the relation between midscale measures of social and eco-nomic conditions and actual community-level measures. Third, there is the opportunity toimprove our ability to estimate nontimber outputs (both goods and services) and to valuethem. These are key to better describing the benefits of forest management.

Thinking more broadly, there are significant science challenges in developing an indica-tor for community condition. First, there is the intellectual challenge of developing ameasure for viability and adaptability. Multiple terms like adaptability, viability, and resil-iency add confusion, but the essential point is the need to capture the essence of thedynamics of communities and changes in their functioning. Second, the development ofindicators is a pressing managerial problem. Indicator 46 addresses the need to identifywhich communities may need assistance in adjusting to changes in land managementapproaches, outputs, or other changes. This poses two challenges: the need to betterunderstand the relation between forest management and communities and the need todevelop adequate proxies for broad-scale measurement of certain attributes of commu-nity adaptability. Finally, we need to develop a coincidental understanding of how to en-gage community development interests in a discussion of viability and adaptability asthey are often the agents of change.
