- ItemTama tū, tama ora. tama noho, tama mate – central. A report on the health and physical activity status of a sample of Ngāti Raukawa, Muaūpoko and Rangitaane iwi(Sport Manawatu and Te Au Rangahau Māori Business Research Centre, 2006-04-07) Chadwick, Pauline; Palmer, FarahThis report was commissioned by Te Puni Kōkiri in an attempt to determine what the health and physical activity levels of Māori from Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga, Muaūpoko, and Rangitaane were. Other objectives included determining a) the awareness of physical activity benefits, b) the enablers to physical activity, c) the barriers to physical activity, and d) types of health services being delivered and accessed by Māori from the 3 iwi groups.
- ItemSamoa technical report - Review of volcanic hazard maps for Savai'i and Upolu(South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission, 2006-07) Cronin, Shane J.; Bonte-Grapentin, Michael; Nemeth, KarolyBoth main islands of Samoa, Savai'i and Upolu need to be considered as potentially volcanically active. The most recent eruptions in historic times happened on Savai'i in 1905-1911, 1902 and 1760 (estimated). Though detailed volcanic studies and dating of volcanic events are very limited there is evidence for repeated volcanic activity on both islands since the time of human occupation of the islands marked by prominent and fresh appearance of tuff cones as Tafua (= fire mountain) Savai'i, the island of Apolima, Tafua Upolu and offshore Cape Tapaga. This report examines the volcanic risks for both islands and defines for disaster management considerations potential eruption scenarios based on eyewitness accounts of previous eruptions, geological field evidence, remote sensing information and experiences from similar volcanoes. A detailed timeline of events, potential impacts and required emergency response activities are listed for the five potential eruption types (1) long-term lava field (2) short-term spatter-cone (3) explosive phreatomagmatic (4) explosive scoria-cone and (5) submarine flank collapse. Given the nature of volcanism in Samoa with hundreds of individual "one-off" volcanoes scattered along zones of structural weakness within the Savai'i - Upolu Platform - predicting the exact location of future eruption centres is impossible. At the current stage of knowledge a presentation of a volcanic hazard map is inadequate and would require additional baseline studies to statistically define recurrence intervals and areas of higher volcanic activity. Taking these limitations into account, maps showing the relative potential for new eruption vents on Upolu and Savai'i are derived from geomorphologic features. To improve our understanding and management of the volcanic risks of Samoa, suggestions for achievable future work are listed and prioritised. These recommendations include geological/volcanological baseline studies (e.g. dating/detailed analyses of past events, rock chemistry, volcano structure); installation of early warning and monitoring network (e.g. permanent GPS, seismometers); and disaster preparedness and volcanic crisis response planning.

- ItemHe wharemoa te rakau, ka mahue. Maori engagement with local government: Knowledge, experiences and recommendations(2008-01-31T20:37:01Z) Cheyne, Christine M.; Tawhai, Veronica M.This report presents the data, analysis and results of focus group research that explored Máori knowledge, experiences and perspectives of local government in Aotearoa New Zealand. Seven focus groups were held with different groups of Máori; 18 – 24 year olds in tertiary study; 18 – 24 year olds in the workforce; people 25 years old and over residing in rural areas, and people 25 years old and over living in urban settings. The purpose of this report is to present the research findings about the knowledge and experiences of Máori in relation to local government, and in particular, their recommendations for the development of the local government sector. It is intended to assist local authorities in their efforts to improve their engagement with Máori, and stimulate further research with Máori about Máori participation in local government decision-making.

- ItemA different kind of family: Retrospective accounts of growing up at Centrepoint and implications for adulthood(Te Kura Hinengaro Tangata / School of Psychology, Massey University, 2010) Gibson K; Morgan M; Woolley C; Powis TThis research project was commissioned by the New Zealand Community Growth Trust (NZCGT) the body that became legally responsible for the assets of an intentional community, known as Centrepoint, after it closed. One function of the NZCGT is to address the rehabilitation needs of former residents including the children who grew up there. The research is intended to help the NZCGT achieve a better understanding of the needs of the former children of Centrepoint and to enable it to provide more effective assistance to them.
