title: “We’re trying to heal, you know?” A mixed methods analysis of the spatial equity of General Practitioner services in the Waikato District Health Board region

authors: Whitehead, Jesse

subjects: spatial equity

abstract: Inequitable access to health services can cause and exacerbate inequities in health outcomes and should therefore be monitored regularly to ensure that service distributions match population needs. Health service accessibility includes several factors and can be monitored using both quantitative and qualitative methods. We present an exploratory analysis of the spatial equity of general practice services in the Waikato District Health Board region using a mixed methods approach. Geographic Information Systems are used to assess the spatial accessibility of GP services, and in-depth qualitative interviews provide a better understanding of not only where inequities exist, but why they occur.

title: Geography in New Zealand 2008-2012

authors: Chalmers, Lex

abstract: Every four years the International Geographical Union (IGU) requests a National Report from Member Countries. The text below is a version of the submission made on behalf of New Zealand Geography in August 2012. The issues that have faced geography in the 2008–2012 period in New Zealand have been transitional rather than transformational. The commentary later should be read against the impact of the economic events of 2008 (reduced research funding and the move to an auditing approach to research); the establishment of research themes in cultural geography that now sit alongside geography’s traditional interests and skills; an expressed interest in redeveloping links to physical geography; the implementation of the new National Curriculum (2007) in the secondary sector and the demographic transitions across stafﬁng in the discipline.
