TONGASS RESOURCE USE COOPERATIVE SURVEY

Background:
the Tongass Resource Use Cooperative Survey consisted of 1,467 
interviews conducted in 33 Southeast Alaska communities between 
January 15 and March 13, 1988.  The study was directed by the 
Institute of social and Economic Research of the University of Alaska, 
Anchorage.  Households were selected for the study to yield 
statistically reliable data at the community level.  Interview were 
conducted by trained interviewers using structured questionnaires.  
The principal questionnaire used in the study consisted of three 
sections:  Deer Hunting, Use of Other Resources, and Background 
Questions.  A major part of the interview was devoted to mapping of 
resource use.  Respondents mapped areas used to hunt, fish or gather: 
deer, salmon, other finfish, marine invertebrates, and marine mammals.  
This information was digitized and summarized by the North Slope 
Borough Geographic Information System.  The Glacier Bay Ecosystem GIS 
contains this summarized resource use information, organized by 
communities listed below.
