| description | With climate change, habitats suitable for organisms transmitting southerly infectious diseases
are expected to migrate towards the North, and tackling them will require joint action
and awareness shared across national borders. In the present study, experts representing
different scientific backgrounds supplied contacts and information regarding societal
groups (stakeholders) potentially vulnerable to climate sensitive infections (CSI), and their
associations with each other. From standardized questionnaires and open-ended interviews,
the study infers a “stakeholder network” which identifies not only potential stakeholders,
but also the underlying network implied by administrative stakeholder relations. The
administrative and social depths of such relations were estimated with associative correlations
whereupon a cluster analysis was performed with results depicted on a geographic
map that covers the entire project-area from Greenland to Eastern Siberia (combining multivariate
statistical methods with geographic information systems). As a result, stakeholder
patterns across the geographic expanses from Nuuk to Yakutsk seem to be clustered into
five relatively independent groups, covering topics from health sciences and governmental
health authorities to organisations dealing with reindeer herding and indigenous cultures.
The two latter topics of reindeer herding and indigenous interest are strongly correlated
across national borders, and particularly provide a rather rare bilateral connection across
northern Russia and western Europe. In contrast with associations across national borders,
institutions, companies, and authorities related to reindeer meat/food production, land-use,
and tourism seem to be relatively confined within national borders. If and when a pannorthern
organisation from Greenland to Eastern Siberia is constituted to tackle CSI
threats, it should encompass member organisations representing each of the five identified
CSI stakeholder clusters, where the most central organisations of each cluster may be identified
by means of maximum associative depth. |

Prevalensen av nordliga infektionssjukdomar som är känsliga för klimatförändringar kommer sannolikt att påverkas när klimatet förändras, och bekämpningen av dessa sjukdomar kommer att kräva gemensamma åtgärder och gränsöverskridande beredskap. I föreliggande studie har ledande experter från flera olika ämnesområden bidragit med kontakter och information rörande intressenter av potentiellt klimatkänsliga infektionssjukdomar (CSI – climate sensitive infections) och deras kopplingar med varandra. Intressenterna är i det här fallet institutioner och organisationer vars intresseområden kan påverkas när den samhälleliga exponeringen mot CSI:er förändras. Studien har använt standardiserade frågeformulär och öppna intervjuer för att identifiera nätverket av sådana intressenter i området ”från Nuuk till Yakutsk”, dvs. över i stort sett hela den norra delen av Eurasien. Nätverket identifierar inte bara potentiella intressenter, utan också de underliggande associativa kopplingar som impliceras av intressenternas administrativa relationer. Styrkan av dessa administrativa kopplingar mäts i termer av ”associativt djup” (socialt djup) där kopplingarna kvantifieras med skattade korrelationskoefficienter. Baserat på den resulterande korrelationsmatrisen använder studien multivariata statistiska metoder och geografiska informationssystem för att kartlägga hur intressenterna fördelas i relativt oberoende intresseområden. Resultaten indikerar att nätverket av CSI-intressenter kan beskrivas med fem relativt oberoende kluster, geografiskt fördelade från Nuuk till Yakutsk, där hälsovetenskaper, statliga hälsovårdsmyndigheter, internationella renskötselorganisationer och inhemska folkgruppers intresseorganisationer uppvisar starka gränsöverskridande förbindelser. Den sistnämnda kopplingen, mellan renskötselorganisationer och inhemska folkgruppers intresseorganisationer, utgör en av få administrativa kopplingar mellan norra Ryssland och Västeuropa som har identifierats i föreliggande studie. Institutioner, företag, och myndigheter med anknytning till livsmedelsproduktion (renkött), markanvändning och turism ser däremot ut att vara mera nationellt begränsade. Om och när en Eurasisk organisation bildas för att ta itu med det nordliga CSI-hotet, så bör den inkludera medlemsorganisationer från vart och ett av de identifierade klusterna. Enskilda organisationers lämplighet att representera sina respektive kluster kan mätas i termer av maximalt associativt djup. 2017-10-18 Second cycle, A1E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/12399/1/bohme_s_171019.pdf Böhme, Sepp, 2017.
