Understanding the role of social factors in environmental decision-making is significant as it influences public participation, policy support, and overall conservation effectiveness. Social dimensions, including cultural values, community norms, and economic incentives, can shape attitudes towards environmental issues and conservation efforts. By integrating social considerations into environmental management, stakeholders can tailor strategies that resonate with local communities, increasing cooperation and commitment to sustainable practices. Such understanding can also help identify barriers to participation and foster more equitable involvement, ultimately leading to more effective and inclusive environmental governance.
