- Contents in English : OUTLINE: This paper examines the implications for wildlife management of changes in the social context associated with increasing urbanization. After discussing these changes and their implications for policy and decision making, two case studies are examined in the light of these issues. First a study of a controversy over urban deer management provides insights into how map conflicting values and search for common ground in a social context with increasingly individualistic values for wildlife. Second, a case study examining a ranching community faced with predator conservation and a growing urban influence is used to examine broader institutional issues such as property rights, equity, and economic considerations.
