Exploring land use conflicts arising from economic activities andtheir impacts on local communities in the European Arctic
The European Arctic is commonly thought of as a pristine and homogeneousarea. In reality, it is a diverse region experiencing growth relying on naturalresource extraction. Despite local communities being primarily affected byindustry activities, most socioeconomic impact assessments are conducted at...
