Research summary
AI-generated

Zhao Ma's work examines how people and communities interact with natural resources and land, covering topics such as forest and farmland ownership, wildlife management acceptance, water management, and community resilience after environmental or economic disruption. Much of the research combines social science methods (surveys, interviews) with environmental management questions to understand landowner and stakeholder decision-making. The publication list also includes some titles on unrelated topics such as museum recommendation systems and online marketing, which may reflect co-authored or cross-listed work outside the core environmental focus.
