Traditional ecological knowledge and structured decision analysis data, Northern Alaska, 2015-2017

Structured Decision Analysis informed by Traditional Ecological Knowledge was applied to understand the mechanisms of climate change influences on subsistence species and their harvest in a coastal Arctic community in Alaska. The process was also used to build upon existing strategies and decision-making processes regarding climate change adaptation of subsistence activities. We conducted workshops to identify issues of concern, assess the benefits and trade-offs of different strategies to enhance the safety of subsistence activities, identify factors influencing key subsistence species and their accessibility, and assess the dependence of animals and their harvest on sea ice. This data package contains lists of the questions and responses produced by those workshops.

本研究采用融合传统生态知识（Traditional Ecological Knowledge）的结构化决策分析方法，以厘清气候变化对阿拉斯加沿海北极社区生计物种及其猎捕活动的影响机制。该分析流程同时被用于优化现有生计活动的气候变化适应策略与决策流程。研究团队通过举办专题研讨会，明确了核心关切议题，评估了各类提升生计活动安全性的策略的收益与权衡取舍，识别了影响关键生计物种存续及其可获取性的因素，并评估了相关动物及其猎捕活动对海冰的依赖程度。本数据包收录了上述研讨会生成的问题清单与对应答复内容。
