作为一种理解和衡量社会进步和发展的多维方法，“幸福”的概念在英国和国际上的政策领域受到了越来越多的关注。政策制定者和科学家们都在讨论福祉的潜力，以提供一种以人为本的、全面的分析，从人们追求和能够实现的生活质量的角度来看，什么对人们重要。人们对如何将福利概念应用于渔业也越来越感兴趣，特别是在深入评估渔业部门衰退对依赖渔业的家庭和更广泛社区的影响方面。本文应用三维福祉框架和方法来深入了解北爱尔兰渔业社会的福祉，该地区在过去100年里面临着渔业的大幅下降。三维方法考虑物质、关系和认知维度；把资源、关系和对生活满意度的主观反映放在一起作为一个整体评估。这三个方面对于全面评估幸福都很重要。本文概述了所使用的方法和收集的数据，然后评估了三维福祉方法可以在多大程度上为北爱尔兰的可持续渔业政策提供有用的见解。(C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
The concept of 'wellbeing' has received growing interest in policy domains in the UK, and internationally, as a multi-dimensional approach to understanding and measuring social progress and development. Policy makers and scientists alike are debating the potential of wellbeing to deliver a people-centred, and holistic, analysis of what matters to people in terms of the quality of life people pursue and are able to achieve. There is also growing interest in how the concept of wellbeing might be applied to fisheries, especially in terms of deepening assessment of the ways in which decline in the fisheries sector is affecting fishing-dependent families, and the wider community. This paper applies a three-dimensional wellbeing framework and methodology to gain insight into the wellbeing of fishing society in Northern Ireland, a region that has faced substantial decline in its fisheries over the past 100 years. A three-dimensional approach considers material, relational and cognitive dimensions; putting resources, relationships and subjective reflections on life satisfaction together as a whole assessment. All three dimensions are important for a full assessment of wellbeing. Following an overview of the methodology used and data collected, the paper then assesses the extent to which a three-dimensional well-being approach can provide useful insights for sustainable fisheries policy in Northern Ireland.
