Extreme weather, vulnerability and conflicting temporalities among craftsmen in the construction and the industrial sectors

The data consists of 16 semi-structured qualitative interviews with professionals (14 men and 2 women) in the construction sector and industry sector. The interviews were conducted digitally via Teams or Zoom, partly because the interviewees were spread across the country and because digital interviews can be experienced as safe and practical by the interviewees. The interviews were 30-90 minutes long and were based on a list of questions. However, the interviewees were given the opportunity to take the initiative for conversation topics themselves. The questions focused on how work is affected by difficult weather conditions – for example, high temperatures, heavy rainfall and strong winds – which are expected to increase with climate change. The interviewees were recruited in collaboration with the trade union Byggnads.
The material has undergone a qualitative analysis with a focus on the workers' vulnerability due to difficult weather conditions, but also due to the general organization of work in general with increased stress, for example due to shorter construction times in the construction sector.

本数据集包含16份半结构化质性访谈（semi-structured qualitative interviews），访谈对象为建筑与工业领域的从业者（14名男性、2名女性）。本次访谈通过Teams或Zoom以线上形式开展，采用线上访谈的主要原因有二：一是受访者分散在全国各地，二是线上访谈可使受访者获得安全且便捷的参与体验。访谈时长介于30至90分钟，以预设问题清单为基础框架，但同时允许受访者自主主导对话议题。访谈内容聚焦极端天气条件对工作的影响——例如高温、强降雨与强风——此类极端天气事件的发生频率预计将随气候变化加剧而提升。本次访谈的受访者由工会Byggnads协助招募。
本研究材料已开展质性分析（qualitative analysis），分析重点围绕从业者因极端天气条件所面临的职业脆弱性，同时也涵盖因行业普遍工作组织模式（例如建筑行业因工期缩短引发的压力增大）所带来的相关问题。
