“…All of these factors relate to the unenviable competitive position of high-cost producers, often operating by necessity at the margins of profitability (Robertson and Brooks 2001). Other challenges relevant to timber-dependent communities in Alaska include finding suitable economic growth strategies that also provide a desired level of community stability (Tsournos and Haynes 2004). Lastly, many smaller firms, notably hardwood lumber producers, are challenged to find suitable market arrangements that are appropriate to the production levels commonly existing in Alaska (Nicholls 2001 …”

“…Indeed, most social scientists today view the concept of "community stability" as overly simplistic, noting that social communities -like their ecological counterparts -experience constant change. As a result, community research increasingly seeks to understand the factors that underlie community resilience and adaptation to change [11,12].…”

Understanding how rural communities use and depend upon local natural resources is a critical factor in developing policies to sustain the long-term viability of human and natural systems. Such "community-resource" linkages are particularly important in Alaska, where rural communities -many of them comprised of indigenous Alaskan Natives -are highly dependent upon local resources found on public lands. Alaskan communities utilize forests in many ways. To better understand these coupled "social-ecological" systems, we combined socio-economic data from the 2000 U.S. Census with timber permit data from the USDA Forest Service to describe communities and their use of forest resources. Our results suggest that private access to public resources is an important feature of Alaskan communities, and that continued access is likely to be a key factor in sustaining human systems on the landscape. As a result, public land managers should give special consideration to local resource use when making policy decisions.
