title: Classifying landscape character

authors: Brabyn, Lars

subjects: visual

abstract: Landscape classification is fundamental to landscape management and research because it provides a frame of reference for communication. This paper describes a method for classifying visual landscape character in New Zealand and builds on a previously developed method using Geographical Information Systems. Theoretical issues associated with classifying landscapes are discussed and incorporated into the method. The main components of the classification are landform, landcover, water, infrastructure, dominant landcover and water view. The resulting classification is hierarchical, with six levels of generalisation. A naturalness score is also built into the classification. Applications of the classification are briefly described. These included query and identification of similar landscapes, description and landscape inventory of regions, identifying rare and unique landscapes, and combining with visibility analysis to describe landscape experience on walking tracks. The New Zealand Landscape Classification is designed to complement other landscape information such as the location of historical, spiritual, cultural, and geological landscape features.

title: Te whakatere waka hourua

authors: Keegan, Te Taka Adrian Gregory

subjects: Waka hourua

abstract: Ko te whakaaturanga i te mahi whakatere waka hourua te kaupapa o tēnei tuhinga roa. 
I roto i te ruangahurutanga o ngā tau kua pahure ake nei he waka hourua kua hangaia i runga i ngā tauira tawhito. Ko ērā ētehi kaumoana ka akongia ngā mahi whakatere waka kia aratakina ai aua waka i runga anō i ngā tohutohu a te taiao anake. I pēnei ai hei whakaora mai anō ngā mātauranga Māori e pā ana ki te whakawhiti moana nui mā runga waka hourua. 
Arā rā tētehi rerenga o te waka hourua nō Aotearoa, ko Te Aurere, i te tau 1995. I wehe te waka whakahirahira nei i Hawai'i, i te 1 o Pipiri, ā, i ū rawa atu ki Rarotonga i te 30 o Pipiri. Ko te kaituhi nei tētehi o ngā kaumoana o runga. Nō reira, he wāhanga nui i roto i te tuhinga roa nei, hei tiro i te mahi whakatere waka hourua i mahingia i taua rerenga moana a Te Aurere. 
Hei whakaatu i te mahi whakatere waka hourua ka whakawehengia kia rima ngā kaupapa nui. He whakatakoto huarahi kia tere ai te waka o te kaipānui i te mahoranui o te tuhinga roa nei.
Tuatahi. He wehe i te tauranga, he peka atu ki te whanga o ngā pukapuka. He utanga ki reira e whakamārama ana i ngā whakapae, i ngā tautohetohe, i ngā whakahē, i ngā whakaae, kua tuhia, kua tāngia ki te pukapuka, kua whakaputaina ki te ao whānui.
Tuarua. He whai i ngā tapuwae o ngā waka hourua kua whakawhiti i ngā moana nui i te ao hou nei. Kua whakarārangitia noa ngā rerenga nei, kia kite ai te kaipānui i rere mā whea ngā waka hourua, i ēnei tau ruangahuru tata nei. 
Tuatoru. Ka whakaritea te waka o te kaipānui mō te whakawhitinga nui. Ka wānangangia ētehi tikanga a te mahi whakatere waka hourua, i te ao hou nei. He ara kia māmā mai ai ngā kōrero i te wāhanga e whai mai ana.
Tuawhā. Ka rere ngātahi mai i te taha o Te Aurere, i āna whakawhitinga mai i Hawai'i tae rawa atu ai ki tōna ūnga, ki Rarotonga. He tātaritanga i taua rerenga i takahia ai i te tau 1995. Ka kitea i pēwhea te mahi whakatere waka. 
Tuarima. Ka hoki kōmuri mai ki te tōpū o ngā whakaaro, ki te whakarāpopototanga o ngā kōrero, ki te whītiki o ngā kī, e whakamārama ana i ngā whakaponotanga i puta nā te tirohanga ki te mahi whakatere waka hourua.
