This article uses the Resilient Community Development frame to explore how the residents from two coastal settlements in the Russian Arctic cope with the long-term effects of climate change, permafrost thaw and challenging socio-economic conditions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2019 in Tiksi and Bykovsky (Republic of Sakha, Russia). These narratives were coded and qualitatively analyzed using the aforementioned framing as a guideline. This article shows that migration, mobility, culture, history, identity and extended networks play a key role in the way that these residents cope with disturbances and upheavals. Sharing past experiences and specific ways to interact with their natural environment, other neighbors and the land they live in are pivotal for the local social configuration and can underpin identity processes. This analysis demonstrates that residents' narratives regarding socio-economic challenges, climate change and permafrost thaw can inform us about short-term concerns, but also how to enhance long-term community resilience.
本文运用弹性社区发展框架探讨了俄罗斯北极地区两个沿海定居点的居民如何应对气候变化、永久冻土融化和严峻社会经济条件的长期影响。2019 年，在提克西和比科夫斯基（俄罗斯萨哈共和国）进行了半结构化访谈。这些叙述按照上述框架进行编码和定性分析。本文表明，移民、流动、文化、历史、身份和扩展网络在这些居民应对干扰和动荡的方式中起着关键作用。分享过去的经验以及与自然环境、其他邻居和他们居住的土地互动的具体方式，对于当地的社会结构至关重要，并可以支撑身份进程。这项分析表明，居民对社会经济挑战、气候变化和永久冻土融化的叙述可以使我们了解短期关注的问题，还可以了解如何增强长期社区的弹性。
