| Summary: | Purpose This paper explores Arctic post-disaster situations by focusing on settlement and shelter in Arctic humanitarian contexts. Design/methodology/approach Principles of post-disaster settlement and shelter are examined for the Arctic and then for the case study of Svalbard, Norway.

Originality/value Setting an agenda for aspects of the principles and practices of Arctic humanitarianism. |
