This paper explores the St. George Economic Development Strategy and strategy development process through a just transitions lens. St. George is a remote island located in Alaska’s Bering Sea, and is home to a small community of Unangan people facing a declining population, infrastructure deficit, and high unemployment. Through a qualitative content analysis and informal interviews, we analyzed how the strategy engaged with four forms of justice (distributive, procedural, recognition, and epistemic) and considered how the development process might have facilitated justice responses. The aim of this research is to share St. George’s efforts to build a more sustainable and just future for their community, as well as highlight key considerations for other communities and researchers engaging in this type of work. The success of St. George’s Economic Development Strategy is due to strong community leaders, a community focused approach to engagement, and respectful consideration and inclusion of the community’s values and beliefs.

本文通过公正转型的视角探讨了圣乔治经济发展战略和战略制定过程。圣乔治是位于阿拉斯加白令海的一个偏远岛屿，是乌南根人小社区的家园，该社区面临着人口下降、基础设施短缺和高失业率的问题。通过定性内容分析和非正式访谈，我们分析了该战略如何与四种形式的正义（分配性、程序性、承认性和认知性）相结合，并考虑了制定过程如何促进正义反应。这项研究的目的是分享圣乔治为其社区建设更加可持续和公正的未来所做的努力，并强调其他社区和从事此类工作的研究人员的关键考虑因素。圣乔治经济发展战略的成功归功于强大的社区领导者、以社区为中心的参与方式以及对社区价值观和信仰的尊重考虑和包容。
