“…Mobility and highly individualised life scripts are common, not only in Iceland. A downward spiral caused by the loss of youngsters can be set in motion, which in return can negatively affect the social fabric and social cohesion of a community (Dale and Newman 2006, Duhaime et al 2004, Ozkan and Schott 2013, Chan et al, 2006, Adger 2000. For Hovgaard et al (2004), one of the reasons for extended outmigration in Nordic villages is changing social values.…”

Icelandic fish stocks underwent privatisation in 1990, when existing fishing quotas were made fully transferable. The country's system of individual transferable quotas has since been held up as a paragon of virtue for sustainable fisheries. This might be valid for ecological and most economic concerns, but for a truly sustainable fisheries management system the question of social impacts has to be addressed as well. This paper evaluates the performance of Icelandic fisheries management from a spatial and social point of view. The theoretical framing stems from the concepts of resilience and vulnerability. Through cluster and correlation analyses, different development trajectories of Icelandic fishing communities since 1990 are revealed. The results are presented on maps. Even though it is no longer the country's largest economic sector, the livelihood of many small and remote settlements is strongly connected to the fisheries. Consolidation has taken place in the fisheries and rural-to-urban migration has continued. The majority of coastal communities can be classified as vulnerable, regarding the status of the local fishing industry in 2014. Regarding demographic development, the number of vulnerable communities was significantly higher in 2014 than it was at the early 1990s.

It is not a surprise that the European Commission names the cohesion policy as a key factor for successfully coping with global warming and the energy security challenge.…”

“…These include a small but dedicated group of health workers, some of whom have many years of experience with tuberculosis management; considerable social cohesion within a society that values trust and reciprocity; and a relatively high degree of awareness of the disease. 7,8 Nunavut needs to reactivate the community health committees that became dormant and tap into the emerging health activism at the community and organization levels.…”
