  1. IPY Data Management Workshop3-4 March 2006British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge, UK Two projects incorporating social science data by Birger Poppel, Senior Researcher, Ilisimatusarfik, University of Greenland

  2. The approach to ”human dimensions” has changed

  3. Projects incorporating social science data • SLiCA – RAAS: Survey of Living Conditions in the Arctic – Remote Access Analysis System • ArcticStat: Socio-economic database on the Circumpolar Arctic

  4. SLiCA – RAAS: Survey of Living Conditions in the Arctic – Remote Access Analyssis System (I) • SLiCA is an interdisciplinary and international research project (founded in 1998) • Major objectives: • To develop a new research design for measuring living conditions and individual well-being among Inuit and Sami peoples in the Arctic and the indigenous peoples of Chukotka reflecting the welfare priorities of the indigenous peoples, and • To carry out a survey of living conditions among and in partnership with the indigenous peoples

  5. SLiCA – RAAS: Survey of Living Conditions in the Arctic – Remote Access Analysis System (II) • Data material/ Data sources: • 8.000 personal interviews (each questionnaire containing more than 200 questions) • Data domains: • Individual characteristics • Household production • Individual resources: health, education (traditional/western), employment, fishing/hunting, political participation • Expenditures and consumptions • Social networks and identity • Community resources • Subjective well-being

  6. SLiCA – RAAS: Survey of Living Conditions in the Arctic – Remote Access Analysis System (III) • SLiCA-RAAS aims at contributing to the IPY goal of expanding the understanding of human dimensions of the Arctic by collaborating with an international team to apply and extend the concepts of remote acces analysis to the SLiCA international database. • The objective of Remote Access Analysis is to provide the scientific and indigenous communities as well as local political and administrative authorities and a broader public with access to a micro dataset for analysis (i.e. the individual records of respondents to the SLiCA questionnaire).

  7. SLiCA – RAAS: Survey of Living Conditions in the Arctic – Remote Access Analysis System (IV) • Linkages to other projects: • PPS Arctic: Present day processes, Past Changes, and Spatiotemporal variability of biotic, abiotic and socio-environmental conditions and resource components along and across the Arctic delimination zone • AHHI: Arctic Human Health Initiative • ArcticStat: Socio-economic database on the Circumpolar Arctic • COMAAR, Consortium for Coordination and observation and Monitoring of the Arctic for Assessment and Research • ISAC-SEARCH: International Study of Arctic Change/Study of Environmental Arctic Change

  8. SLiCA – RAAS: Survey of Living Conditions in the Arctic – Remote Access Analysis System (V) • SLiCA-RAAS will focus on spatiotemporal variability of socio-environmental conditions. • SLiCA-RAAS will contribute to objectives of assessing the socio-economic impacts of potential future changes in the transitional zones, incorporating results into an expert system, which can be utilized for estimating climate change responses, sustainable ecosystem management and landscape planning in support of policy decisions.

  9. ArcticStat: Socioeconomic database on the Circumpolar Arctic (I) • ArcticStat is an open-access web-based circumpolar socioeconomic statistical database. • ArcticStat will be operating mainly as a portal linking users directly to the relevant tables into the statistical agencies’ websites

  10. ArcticStat: Socioeconomic database on the Circumpolar Arctic (II) • It is a major objective to increase the research capacity by taking advantage of already existing data. • ArcticStat will enable national, regional and local governments, as well as the Arctic Council to rely on updates, valid and comparable information to guide public policies. • ArcticStat will be used as a pedagogical ressource for teaching, research and dissemination

  11. ArcticStat: Socioeconomic database on the Circumpolar Arctic (III) • Data material/Data sources: existing data/statistics. All tables are systematically indexed by countries (and regions), by indicators (and sub indicators) and by years. Map-based research is offered through an interactive circumpolar map • Data domains: • Demographics • Language • Health • Education • Employment • Regional and national economies

  12. ArcticStat: Socioeconomic database on the Circumpolar Arctic (IV) • Linkages to other projects: • ECONOR: Economies of the North • SLiCA: Survey of Living in the Arctic • AHDR: Arctic Human Development Report
