“…Women's economic status deteriorated as they were forced to stay at home and were no longer considered as an economic asset. Aroca's [2] study shows that mining is the most important sector of the Chilean II region. The main linkages of the mining sectors are with the three sectors with the highest backward and forward linkages; when these linkages are considered along with the level of production from mining, mining emerges as the most important sector.…”

“…And I believe that this is where the Greenlandic companies have potential" (key informant GA). Linkages between the mining industry and other sectors include supply of food and catering services, transportation services, construction, utilities, and materials (Aroca, 2001;Ejdemo, 2013;Hajkowicz et al, 2011). The derived business opportunities deserve particular attention, since this is where the Greenlandic businesses will find a strong fit between local capabilities and the demand side of mining.…”

This paper analyzes the Greenlandic business community and the recently established cluster relevant to extractive industries in Greenland, Arctic Cluster of Raw Materials (ACRM), to enhance local business development in mining projects in Greenland. The analysis directs toward a transition from an economic cluster to a collaborative community in order to increase business potential and to overcome limitations of smallness and inadequate competencies of the Greenlandic business community in the mining industry. Transitioning into a collaborative community creates more value by enabling member firms to realize business development that each single firm could not achieve with its own efforts by being a part of a cluster. Managing the transition process emphasizes the facilitating role for the reason that a shared service provider is required in every collaborative community. I develop a conceptual model for the transition from an economic cluster to a collaborative community based on the architectural elements of the collaborative community design. The conceptual model considers the five proximity dimensions that influence inter-firm linkages both as enablers and barriers to the transition process and collaboration. Collaboration represents a new approach to business and industrial development in remote regions of the Arctic, as challenges evident for Greenland can be found throughout the entire Arctic.

“…There is a wealth of literature on factors that determine the health of the population: individual and collective lifestyles, income and wealth, education and culture, access to and use of health care services, human biology and genetics, and the quality of the daily environment. As a consequence, we observe many disparities in health conditions in a heterogeneous society (see e.g., Aroca, 2001;Dahlgren and Whitehead, 2007;Illsley and Le Grand, 1993;Preston, 1975). Clearly, an appropriate definition of 'good health' is far from easy.…”

The bottom line of welfare on our planet and its people is not only dependent on traditional economic measures, but also on knowledge and education and -last but not least -on human health. Human health is a critical factor for the welfare and prosperity of society. Many parameters appear to play a role in a health equation, even though the empirical measurement of health is fraught with many conceptual and empirical problems. As a consequence, we observe many disparities in empirical health conditions in a heterogeneous society; an appropriate definition and measurement of 'good health' are far from easy. Next to health disparities caused by a heterogeneity among the population, there is also an important geographical component in the spread of health patterns of the population as a result of differences in environmental quality-of-life, spatial density, quality of and access to health care facilities, and social stress conditions. From this perspective, geography matters in the field of human health. Although geographic differences in health conditions are not the only reason for people to reside or stay in a certain place, they are certainly an important decision parameter, often in combination with wellness conditions and environmental quality conditions. The aim of the present paper is to provide an overview of the literature on the geography of health and wellness, while the study is concluded with some lessons for research and policy.Purpose: The aim of the present paper is to provide an overview of the literature on the geography of health and wellness.Methodology/Approach: Literature review. We will outline the geography of human health, through a concise literature survey of the geographical patterns in human health outcomes to address the general research findings on spatial differences in health in relation to urban-rural patterns of life.
