ABSTRACT

Over the last 130 years, the landscapes of northern Iceland’s fishing villages have experienced repeated reconfigurations based on changing technology, cultural developments, and ecological shifts. However, the interconnected nature of these changes and their role in enabling industrial success have not been systematically assessed. This project aimed to evaluate the ecological and cultural histories of the herring industry of northern Iceland vis-à-vis the built environments in Siglufjörður in order to understand how changes in the built environment facilitated resiliency or increased vulnerability in the adaptive cycle through the spatial and temporal analyses of maps and aerial photographs of the landscape. This paper utilises an adaptive cycle framework to better understand how communities responded to disruptions in the fishing industry. Understanding the relationship between the built environment and the adaptive cycles of industrial communities can help illuminate the factors that cause settlements to succeed or fail.

摘要

在过去的 130 年里，冰岛北部渔村的景观经历了基于不断变化的技术、文化发展和生态变化的反复重构。然而，尚未系统地评估这些变化的相互关联性及其在促成工业成功方面的作用。该项目旨在评估冰岛北部鲱鱼产业相对于 Siglufjörður 建成环境的生态和文化历史，以了解建筑环境的变化如何通过空间和环境促进适应循环中的弹性或脆弱性增加。景观的地图和航拍照片的时间分析。本文利用适应性循环框架来更好地了解社区如何应对渔业中断。
