dc.description.abstractDeveloping a community forest in British Columbia involves multiple stakeholder agreements; negotiating agreement within diverse communities can be especially complicated. In this study I use the constant comparative method from grounded theory to compare data from two case studies and examine the conflict resolution techniques used by community forest developers throughout their development initiatives. Data were collected through interviews with community forest developers with a focus on the process of development, the conflict resolution strategies used, and the successes and failures throughout the process. The findings from this thesis indicate that community forest developers engage in a process that I call Developing a Community Forest. This process includes five categories of action: Building an Idea of Community Forestry, Being Aware of the Box, Coming Toward Conflict, Using Dispute Resolution Strategies, and Practicing Community Forestry. By articulating this process future community forest developers can access the methods of conflict resolution described in this thesis in their attempts to successfully develop community forestry in other local forest areas.en
