• Demographic and economic disparities among Arctic regions 

      Schmidt, Jennifer Irene; Aanesen, Margrethe; Klokov, Konstantin; Kruschov, Sergei; Hausner, Vera Helene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-20)
      We use demographic and economic indicators to analyze spatial differences and temporal trends across 18 regions surrounding the Arctic Ocean. Multifactor and cluster analysis were used on 10 indicators reflecting income, employment and demography from 1995 to 2008. The main difference is between regions with high population densities, low natural growth rate, and low unemployment (Russia, Norway ...

    • Nature-based tourism, resource dependence, and resilience of Arctic communities: framing complex issues in a changing environment 

      Sisneros-Kidd, Abigail M.; Monz, Christopher; Hausner, Vera Helene; Schmidt, Jennifer Irene; Clark, Douglas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2019-05-16)
      Current research on tourism in the Arctic has focused largely on the extent, location, and type of tourism activities that occur in the region. Recently, challenges have been identified that the tourism industry is likely to face in the wake of global changes, including climate change. Related research, conducted within and outside of the Arctic, suggests that rural communities can become economically ...
    • The role of trust in sustainable management of land, fish, and wildlife populations in the Arctic 

      Schmidt, Jennifer Irene; Clark, Douglas; Lokken, Nils; Lankshear, Jessica; Hausner, Vera Helene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-01)
      Sustainable resource management depends on support from the public and local stakeholders. Fish, wildlife, and land management in remote areas face the challenge of working across vast areas, often with limited resources, to monitor land use or the status of the fish-and-wildlife populations. Resource managers depend on local residents, often Indigenous, to gain information about environmental ...
    • Transitions of social-ecological subsistence systems in the Arctic 

      Fauchald, Per; Hausner, Vera Helene; Schmidt, Jennifer Irene; Clark, Douglas A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-04)
      Transitions of social-ecological systems (SES) expose governance systems to new challenges. This is particularly so in the Arctic where resource systems are increasingly subjected to global warming, industrial development and globalization which subsequently alter the local SES dynamics. Based on common-pool resource theory, we developed a dynamic conceptual model explaining how exogenous drivers ...
