A Survey of Living Conditions in the Arctic: Inuit, Saami and the Indigenous Peoples of Chukotka

摘要：该项目是由格陵兰、加拿大、挪威、瑞典、芬兰、丹麦、俄罗斯和美国的研究人员和土著组织合作开展的一项国际合作项目，旨在了解经济发展与土著国家安排之间的关系及其对因纽特人、萨米人和楚科奇人生活条件的影响。研究结果旨在为环极地土著组织和地方政府提供信息，以帮助制定政策决策。关键的研究问题是，今天北极发生的快速的社会、政治、经济和环境变化是如何影响那里的人们的？国际研究的这一部分将解决这个问题，作为阿拉斯加研究设计（问卷调查和实地方法）的正式预测试。

ABSTRACT: OPP-0071082Kruse, John A.Cochran, Patricia A.University of Alaska AnchoragePart of an international effort involving a partnership of researchers and indigenous organizations in Greenland, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Russia, and the United States, this project seeks to understand the relationships between economic development and Native-state arrangements and their effects on living conditions among Inuit, Saami, and Chukotkan peoples. Results of the study are intended to provide circumpolar Native organizations and local governments with information to help make policy decisions. The key research question is how are the rapid social, political, economic and environmental changes occurring in the Arctic today affecting the people there? This portion of the international study will address this question as a formal pretest of the research design (questionnaire and field methods) in Alaska.
