title: Development of the New Zealand community Fault Model – version 1.0

authors: Van Dissen, Russ

abstract: There has been a long-identified need in New Zealand for a community-developed, threedimensional (3D) model of active faults that is publicly accessible and available to all practitioners. Over the past year, work has progressed on building and parameterising such a model – the New Zealand Community Fault Model (NZ CFM). The NZ CFM will serve as a unified and foundational resource for many societally important applications such as the National Seismic Hazard Model, Resilience to Natures Challenges Earthquake and Tsunami Programme, physics-based fault systems modelling, earthquake ground-motion simulations, and tsunami hazard evaluation. Version 1.0 of the NZ CFM is nearing completion and release. NZ CFM v1.0 provides a simplified 3D representation of New Zealand’s crustal-scale active faults (including a selection of potentially seismogenic faults) compiled at a nominal scale of 1:500,000 to 1:1,000,000. NZ CFM faults are defined based on surface geology, seismicity, seismic reflection profiles, wells, and geologic cross sections. The model presently incorporates more than 800 triangulated mesh surfaces as representations of active and/or potentially seismogenic faults linked to parameters such as dip and dip direction, seismogenic rupture depth, sense of movement, slip direction, and net slip rate.

title: Eliciting consumer preferences for certified animal-friendly foods: Can elements of the theory of planned behavior improve choice experiment analysis?

authors: Nocella, Giuseppe

abstract: Models used in neoclassical economics assume human behavior to be purely rational. On the other hand, models adopted in social and behavioral psychology are founded on the “black box” of human cognition. In view of these observations, this paper aims at bridging this gap by introducing psychological constructs in the well-established microeconomic framework of choice behavior based on random utility theory. In particular, it combines constructs developed employing Ajzen's theory of planned behavior with Lancaster's theory of consumer demand for product characteristics to explain stated preferences over certified animal-friendly foods (AFF). To reach this objective, a Web survey was administered in the largest five EU-25 countries: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Findings identify some salient cross-cultural differences between northern and southern Europe and suggest that psychological constructs developed using the Ajzen model are useful in explaining heterogeneity of preferences. Implications for policymakers and marketers involved with certified AFF are discussed.

title: Important lessons for trust governance from trusts that benefit New Zealand's Indigenous Maori – Recent developments

authors: Manyam, Joel

abstract: The landmark New Zealand Court of Appeal decision in New Zealand Maori Council v AttorneyGeneral [1987] 1 NZLR 641[SOE Case] marked a watershed in New Zealand's jurisprudence concerning the relationship between the Government of New Zealand('the Crown') and the indigenous Maori peoples of New Zealand. Very recently , New Zealand's highest Court, the Supreme Court in its decision in New Zealand Maori Council v Attorney-General[2013] 3 NZLR 31 referred to the SOE case as follows:
'The SOE case by the Court of Appeal is a judgment of great authority and importance to the law concerning the relationship between the Crown and Maori" (emphasis added)[S3].
