Qualitative data from community observations are stored and managed using NVivo software that provides functionality for classifying, sorting and arranging qualitative research data. The sampling unit used is a harvest event, typically a hunting or fishing event in a particular season. As of 5 September, 2008 we have received and encoded data for 56 harvest events as follows: Harvest type: Mammal (10), Fish (45), Shellfish (1) Community: Gambell (10), Kanchalan (22), Nikolskoye (6), Sandpoint (18) Preliminary NVivo Data structure: Nodes (collections of related material by topic): ANIMAL HABITATS ANIMAL SPECIES CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS FAMILY SIZE HARVEST USE HOW PROCESS CATCH HUNT FISH LOCATON INFO SOURCE LEGAL VERSUS NATURAL HUNT FISH SEASON MIGRATION PATTERN QUALITY OF CATCH QUANTITY OF CATCH RESPONDENT CANNOT RECALL OR IS NOT KEEPING TRACK OF PREVIOUS FISH HUNT DETAILS SOCIAL TIES AND FOOD SHARING THE FISHING EXPERIENCE UNCLEAR Queries (primary topics that have had queries created): AIR TEMPERATURE BY LOCATION CHANGES IN WIND STRENGTH FACTORS AFFECTING ABILITY TO REACH HUNT FISH BY LOCATION ICE BREAK-UP ICE FREEZE-UP ILL HEALTH CONDITIONS INFORMATION SOURCE LOCATION BY AIR TEMPERATURE PROXIMITY TO ISLAND OF HUNT FISH LOCATION QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF ICE STRENGTH OF RESPONDENTS OBSERVATION WIND STRENGTH BY LOCATION Classifications (attributes by which cases can be classified): ANIMAL LOCATION SEX
