The Impacts of Climate Change on Youth's Place Attachment - A Case Study of Tasiilaq, East Greenland
No full textThis research examines the impact of climate change on youth’s place attachment, highlighting the pressing need to understand its implications for urban space utilisation in the rapidly changing Arctic. To achieve this, it is crucial to gain a comprehensive understanding of the youth’s frame of reference. Acquiring this knowledge is essential for effectively safeguarding the well-being of the youth and enhancing adaptive measures. Furthermore, this understanding, in combination with addressing historical colonial practices in Greenland’s urban planning, play a pivotal role in fostering community engagement and ultimately promoting more sustainable urban development.Therefore, the case study conducted in Tasiilaq investigates the youth’s perspectives on their attachment to public spaces and examines the implications of climate change on place attachment through interviews and participatory observation. This study employs an expanded place attachment theory, considering the influence of climate change, and adopts a decolonisation of science as well as a community based participatory research approach.The findings highlight that place attachment for the youth is shaped by the fulfillment of functional and emotional needs, encompassing social interaction, physical activity, and reflective purposes. The study concludes that climate change impacts the place attachment of the youth, albeit in a multifaceted manner, influenced by a complex interplay of factors. The findings reveal both positive and negative effects of climate change on place attachment, which are mediated by the youth’s functional and emotional needs and the availability of alternative options
Communication of indirect effects of avalanches between stakeholders - A case study of Natural Disaster Management in Iceland
No full textThe Icelandic population has been prone to deal with multitude of natural disasters, including extreme storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, avalanches and landslides, which all have caused harm in the past and continues to threaten livelihoods and infrastructures. Natural disaster impacts are often divided into direct effects and indirect effects both causing economic and social structural disruptions. Direct effects can lead to indirect effects since they are associated with each other and can cause ripple effects within economic activities. This paper aims to address the research gap concerning how indirect effects of avalanches are being communicated between different stakeholders in Natural Disaster Management (NDM) in Iceland and how much attention those effects get. Additionally, a stakeholder map for indirect effects of avalanches in Iceland will be created. This study is structured as a case study of NDM regarding avalanches all over Iceland. Data collection was achieved with document analysis and stakeholders' qualitative interviews. Theoretical approaches of Risk Communication and Disaster Management Cycle were used to create a conceptual framework to guide the analysis. Analysis shows that indirect effects are recognized and communicated in NDM in Iceland. Attention in Iceland regarding indirect effects is mostly in relation to prevention of indirect effects and social well-being. With the creation of the stakeholder map, a visualization of involved stakeholders is made available
Marine Biodiversity and Greenlandic LEK:With new contributions from the Ammassalik area, East Greenland

No full textThis article analyses an ongoing planning process in Greenlandic fisheries governance aiming to reform the coastal Greenland halibut fishery. It examines the way certain truths about this fishery and the need for reform are produced up to and in the final policy document ‘regulation concerning the coastal fishery for Greenland halibut’. Findings highlight the way the small-scale Greenland halibut fishery system becomes a particular governance problem with respect to particular contextual meanings of sustainability and long-term planning. The article then examines whether this governance problem could also be understood as primarily a problem to a certain ‘governmentality’ mode of governance. Whereas some fishery studies document how governmentality modes of governance in fisheries succeeds in transforming subjectivities, this study offers a view into the process that might go before successful governmentality: The process whereby a selected fishery becomes subjected to planned out-phasing through a combined construction of fleet and human identity
The price of regionalisation:Discursive dominance and stakeholders coalitions in the Northern Adriatic Sea fishery governance arrangement
No full textThe regionalisation process promoted by the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) enabled the formulation of a new governance arrangement at the sub-national regional level of the Northern Adriatic Sea (NAS). Given the potential for dominating narratives to foster simplified solutions for fishery management, the article sought to analyse discourse formations across Italian Regional Fishery Departments (RFDs) of the NAS. A discourse analysis based on the Discursive Agency Approach (DAA) delineated the discursive strategies, while a weak vs strong sustainability narrative was adopted to broadly group stakeholders into discourse coalitions. The results showed the presence of a dominating narrative in RFD settings, prioritising the economic growth of the fishery sector- particularly the trawling industry- over current environmental concerns. The study points to a possibly increasing dominance of weak sustainability narratives in the Italian NAS and invites for stakeholders' representation to significantly broaden and diversify, enabling the development of multifaceted solutions to the NAS crisis.The regionalisation process promoted by the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) enabled the formulation of a new governance arrangement at the sub-national regional level of the Northern Adriatic Sea (NAS).

No full textDenne rapport præsenter resultaterne af en landsdækkende, telefoniskspørgeskemaundersøgelse foretaget i vinteren 2016. Her har et bredt udsnit afbefolkningen (689 personer) vurderet hvorvidt de er enige i en række udsagn, somudtrykker forskellige og ofte konkurrerende hensyn i Grønlands fiskeripolitik.Undersøgelsen mest entydige resultater viser, at det især er meget vigtigt forbefolkningen at man altid har adgang til fiskeri til eget forbrug, at detkommercielle fiskeri skaber arbejdspladser i Grønland, at fiskeriet udføres afgrønlændere samt at Royal Greenland ejes af det grønlandske samfund. Det erligeledes meget vigtigt for den bredere befolkning at vide, hvem der får tildeltfiskekvoter og hvorfor. Der er modstand mod at lade alle forsørge sig selv igennemfiskeriet, men der er støtte til at sikre en geografisk spredning i adgangen tilfiskekvoter så alle byer og bygder har adgang til fiskeri fremtiden. Sidst men ikkemindst er der markant modstand mod at reducere antallet af fiskere med henblikpå at skabe mere fiskekvote til de enkelte fiskere og selskaber.Nalunaarusiaq una nuna tamakkerlugu, oqarasuaatikkut apersuinermi immersugassaqatorlugu misissuinerup Kalaallit Nunaanni ukioq 2016 ingerlanneqarsimasup inerneriniksaqqummersitsivoq.
