The urban/rural interface is the line, area, or zone where structures and other human development adjoin or overlaps with undeveloped bushland. While living in this zone provides many lifestyle benefits their are also many risks to life and property from the threat of wildfire.
Research in this area of the site examines risk management, models and tools as they relate to the urban/rural interfaces.
