Factors which contribute to lasting settlement in the subarctic region of North America are examined and analyzed in this study. Diversification of the economic base is conducive to permanent settlement. A diversified, efficient and well developed transportation system is important. A good communications system including telephone, telegraph, teletype and radio links to the rest of the world help hold settlement. Pleasant living conditions, an extensive selection of consumer goods and services, social organizations and other cultural facilities aid in building pride and identification with the area.
