Yakima River Basin Wellbeing Interviews

Interviews were conducted in 2023 as part of a NSF-funded project to assess community wellbeing in communities in the Yakima River Basin in Washington, US. In addition to assessing factors that generally affect community wellbeing, additional inquiry focused on food security and sovereignty, water resource and snowpack conditions, environmental change, demographic change, and regional connections and how these dimensions influence community wellbeing. Focal communities were Yakima, Ellensburg, Tieton, Cle Elum, and Roslyn. Interviews were conducted with key informants and general community residents. Individuals were recruited through criterion and snowball sampling as well as public flyers and social media posts (for community interviews). Interviews were recorded and transcribed using Otter.ai. All interview transcripts have been redacted or summarized to protect the identity of participants. Further details can be obtained from the project authors.2023年开展的访谈隶属于美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation，NSF）资助的研究项目，该项目旨在评估美国华盛顿州亚基马河流域（Yakima River Basin）各社区的福祉水平。研究除了对普遍影响社区福祉的各类因素进行评估外，还额外聚焦于粮食安全与粮食主权、水资源与积雪覆盖状况、环境变化、人口结构变迁以及区域联系，并探究上述维度对社区福祉的影响路径。本次调研的核心社区包括亚基马（Yakima）、埃伦斯堡（Ellensburg）、蒂顿（Tieton）、克利埃勒姆（Cle Elum）和罗斯林（Roslyn）。访谈对象涵盖关键知情人与普通社区居民，受访者通过标准抽样、滚雪球抽样，以及面向社区访谈的公开传单与社交媒体帖子招募获得。访谈内容由Otter.ai平台完成录制与转录，所有访谈转录文本均已进行脱敏处理或摘要提炼，以保护参与者的身份信息。如需获取项目更多细节，可联系项目研究人员。
