Monitoring Methodology and Analysis of North Slope Institutional Response and Change, 1979-1983. Social and Economic Studies Program Technical Report Number 117

摘要

The objectives of the report were to analyze institutional development and change within the North Slope Borough from 1979 to 1983 and to design a methodology for monitoring sociocultural change. The communities of Wainwright, Kaktovik, and Barrow were selected because of their social and economic diversity, alliances in development activities associated with capital improvement projects, and proximity to industrial developments. The three communities studied had a distinct range of directions for institutional change and development. The result is that community control and functions are dispersed through many formal and informal institutions.
