摘要

In recent years, the local and regional economies of Western Alaska have been rocked by poor salmon returns and lower salmon prices. This catastrophe focused attention on the economy of a region characterized by small and isolated communities, the general lack of an economic base apart from commercial fisheries, and a dependence on subsistence and transfer payments. Within the region, local conditions vary greatly from the relatively welldeveloped cash economies to the subsistence-dependent villages. Residents would benefit greatly from a a more diversified and resilient local and regional economy. However, there are no easy answers, and no one size fits all solution. This document is intended to help local leaders and area residents better understand the economic landscape, and the opportunities that may hold the greatest promise for the future. Economic opportunities for three types of communities are discussed: villages, hubs, and cash economies. Key points are as follows: Villages Subsistence is the foundation of village economies, and residents generally have few opportunities to earn cash. Cash is needed; not only for everyday necessities but also to support the operations of local utilities and infrastructure. Economic opportunities may be found in arts & crafts and small businesses, and local leadership must focus on keeping the cost of utilities manageable. Hubs Throughout the region, service/transportation hubs have developed where residents of surrounding villages travel to access medical care, regional organizations, and government services. Hubs are typically larger than villages and provide more opportunities for employment and small business development. The support services for in-region travelers can be expanded to attract tourists.
