▼ The Parsis of India are a very small but important ethnic group, traditionally living in Gujarat but in modern times mainly located in Bombay, where, under the British Raj, they established themselves as leading merchants, politicians and professional people with an influence far exceeding their numerical strength. Since Indian Independence in 1947, that influence has declined as has the total size of the Parsi community in India. Many members of the community have dispersed overseas and during the last twenty years, New Zealand has emerged as a growing destination of choice. Many reasons have been put forward both by academia and by members of the Parsi community itself for the steeply declining numbers ranging from religious and ethnic exclusivity to loss of fecundity and consequential fall in the birth-rate to below the sustainability level. In my initial research for this thesis, I became aware that one reason for the decline, which did not feature in academic discourses but which seemed to be important, was the significance of Parsi culture, in particular the traditional emphasis on individual achievement, at the expense of communal cohesion. In seeking to corroborate my hypothesis, along with whether or not the current drive to migrate from India to countries such as New Zealand is having a positive or negative influence on the long-term chances for Parsi survival, I have carried out in-depth interviews with a cross-section of Parsis now resident in New Zealand. The outcomes of these interviews, together with a careful study of Parsi history and an analysis of their very distinctive culture, form the basis for my study. These outcomes and analyses have created an overall picture, which has confirmed my belief that the most important contributing factor to demographic decline amongst the Indian Parsi community has been their traditional drive towards individual material success. They have also shown that individual choice has been the principle post-Independence migratory driving force. There are more negative than positive elements associated with this migratory drive with the future of both Parsi identity and Zoroastrianism under serious threat through increasing dispersal and religious, ethnic and cultural dilution. This deteriorating situation is further exacerbated by internal strife fuelled by passionate ethno-religious debate over the best way forward.

▼ The Man from Nowhere & Other Prose by James McNeish (1991), Berlin Diary by Cilla McQueen (1990), To Each His Own by Philip Temple (1999), and Phone Home Berlin: Collected Non-Fiction by Nigel Cox (2007) are all texts written by New Zealand writers who either visited or lived in Berlin before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Their texts chronicle their experiences in Berlin and capture their observations of and reflections on the city, its people and their place as New Zealand writers in Berlin. This thesis discusses the texts they wrote while in Berlin, focussing particularly on the images of war, walls and the idea of ‘antipodean naivety’. My introductory chapter provides a brief history of New Zealand writers in Berlin. The chapter addresses key historical events which took place in Berlin and how they gave rise to artistic and cultural initiatives, providing the opportunity for McNeish, McQueen and Temple to be in the city. In the second chapter, I consider the images of war found in the writers’ texts. McNeish, McQueen and Temple focus particularly on Berlin’s Second World War history and to a lesser extent on the Cold War. I examine the reasons why they focus so heavily on this part of Berlin’s history, especially when the city has a much longer and broader military history that is ignored by the writers when they address issues of war and conflict in their texts. My third chapter addresses images of walls. For the artists and writers resident in Berlin before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Berlin Wall is a prominent feature in their texts. But as foreigners to the city and country, they encounter other ‘walls’ such as language and cultural barriers. These metaphorical boundaries are examined further in my fourth chapter which discusses the idea of ‘antipodean naivety’. I apply Mary Louise Pratt’s theory of the ‘contact zone’ in reverse to the experiences of McNeish, McQueen and Temple in Berlin. In my fifth and final chapter I contrast the work of Nigel Cox who was in Berlin ten years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and for a different purpose. Perhaps surprisingly Cox nevertheless responds to Berlin in similar ways to the other New Zealanders. I argue that as New Zealanders these writers come to Berlin from a small country on the other side of the world with a less grandiose history to a country they think they know. In reality, the way the writers interpret their surroundings and the things on which they focus in their texts - almost always Berlin’s twentieth century history - illustrates how little they know about the city, but also suggests how unsettling the experience of the contact zone is, especially when it is such a historically and ideologically-loaded place, and how it makes them aware of their place of origin and their own naiveties and anxieties.

▼ Introduced species are responsible for declines and extinctions of native biota around the world, particularly on islands where native species are often more vulnerable to the effects of invaders due to a lack of shared evolutionary history. New Zealand’s native lizards have suffered considerable range contractions, declines and extirpations as a result of predation and competition from introduced mammals, with some species being more vulnerable than others. Little is known about the mechanisms which allow some grounddwelling native lizards to persist in the presence of introduced mammals. In this study, I describe the species composition and abundance of ground-dwelling lizard and introduced mammal assemblages in urban forest fragments, and investigate the relationship between them. I also describe the habitats used by native ground-dwelling lizards where introduced mammals are also present and investigate habitat features that may be important in promoting the coexistence of native lizards with introduced mammals. Finally, I compare various methods for surveying lizard (hand searching, artificial cover objects, pitfall traps) and mammal (tracking tunnels, snap traps) populations in urban forest fragments. Estimating the proportion of tail loss can be used as a proxy to determine predation pressure on lizard populations. The rate of tail loss among urban lizards in this study was relatively high (41%), suggesting that these lizard populations are under considerable predation pressure. However, no relationship between the abundance of introduced mammals and native lizards was identified. Key features of the habitats supporting the highest abundance of native lizards in the presence introduced mammals include high canopy cover and high cover and structure of debris (leaf litter and branches/logs) in the lower shrub layer. Food availability in the form of invertebrate abundance does not appear to play a significant role in the coexistence of introduced mammals and native lizards, and the abundance of introduced mammals and exotic lizard competitors was not correlated with invertebrate abundance. Hand searching is the most efficient method for identifying lizards in urban bush fragments. ACOs and pitfall traps had only low efficiency in this study and are not recommended for future studies. I found that tracking tunnels may be an alternative to snap traps for indexing mammal abundance in urban environments where the risk of trapping non-target wildlife, pets and the public is high

▼ Background/aim: Pacific people living in New Zealand have disproportionately high rates of obesity, leading to increased adverse health outcomes. A tendency to skip breakfast has been reported within this group. Skipping breakfast is linked to dietary deficiencies such as calcium and fibre, and an increased appetite later in the day. The aim of this study was to explore recorded and observed breakfast intake and practices in Pacific Island women aged 18-45 years of different body compositions in New Zealand. This included an extensive literature review on breakfast habits and the relationship with body composition and food groups. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, Pacific women (18-45 years) completed a 5-day food record (FR) (n=146) and a videoed breakfast buffet (BB) (n=142). Body mass index (kg/m2) was measured using the bioelectrical impedance analysis, categorising women in obese, overweight or normal weight BMI groups. Associations between body composition, nutrient intake, food choice and eating behaviours were investigated. Results: From a nutrient perspective, all BMI groups had habitual intakes at the FR high in saturated fat, and low in dietary fibre and calcium. All BMI groups had significantly higher intakes at the BB compared with FR for energy, PUFA (g), carbohydrate (g), sugars, dietary fibre, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and calcium, and significantly lower intakes of cholesterol and protein (%). For food groups, servings of ‘breads, cereals and grains’, ‘milk, dairy and alternatives’, and ‘discretionary foods’ were all higher at the BB compared with the FR. Investigation into breakfast skipping found a significant difference in calcium intake between breakfast eating behaviour groups, with only breakfast eaters meeting breakfast recommendations (25% of NRV’s). Conclusion: The findings of this study provide valuable insight into Pacific women’s breakfast eating habits. Nutrients and food choice differed significantly between BB and FR, which may indicate influential factors such as food availability and social influence. While the results did not suggest a significantly different intake of food groups or nutrients between BMI groups, this may provide future research opportunities to explore whether nutrients consumed and food choice at breakfast in Pacific women influence food intake later in the day, and whether there is an association with body composition. This study does highlight the role of public health intervention in emphasizing the importance of consuming breakfast high in whole grains and dairy products to improve intakes of dietary fibre and calcium, and a lower saturated fat content of the meal for overall health benefits.

▼ Ecological restoration is a rapidly expanding practice that has developed in response to worldwide loss of habitat and ecosystem services. However, the success of this practice in restoring a functioning and representative ecological system remains poorly studied and uncertain. This is due to several factors predominantly, restricted funds, a knowledge gap between practitioners and the developing scientific field of restoration ecology, and the length of time it takes for some ecological systems to recover. In New Zealand restoration planting has occurred in large areas since the 1980s. These have now established canopies with unassisted seedling regeneration, making predictions of successional trajectory and ecological success assessments possible. The ecological restoration of forests is most commonly carried out through dense planting of native seedlings. This study aims to measure the ecological success of this planting method within New Zealand lowland podocarp-broadleaved forests comparing it with a ‘do-nothing’ control site undergoing unassisted secondary succession and a reference site of the desired target community (mature lowland forest). Restoration success was determined by the Planted Site being closer than the Spontaneous Succession Site to the Reference Site in vegetation community composition within ordinational space (principal coordinates analysis). It was found that the vegetation community within the Spontaneous sites was more comparable to the Reference sites than the Planted sites and thus, more successful. The compositional differences between the spontaneous and planted sites were further investigated by analysing environmental and structural variables of each site sampled to find explanatory variables that may be driving the success of forest restoration (in directing the successional process towards the desired target community within a reference site). A nested multivariate analysis of the plot data and generalised linear modelling of each site was carried out to find potential explanatory variables which highly correlated to restoration success (how close a site was to its reference). Potential explanatory variables correlating to restoration success included; a lower diversity (Shannon Wiener Index) in the restoration plantings in both species richness and within the structural and function classifications of each species; a greater diversity of vegetation tiers; a fewer number of stems at breast height per individual tree; shorter canopy heights; smaller canopy diameters uncompacted soil; a greater diversity in microtopography; and a greater coverage of ground ferns. These explanatory variables were then modelled using Akaike’s Information Criterion to identify both descriptive and driving parameters. The Akaike models identified 16 different parameters as related to the compositional differences when plotted in ordination space. High diversity within all three measured attributes (composition, structure and function) and presence of ferns are clearly descriptors of the success of…

▼ Using a series of interlocking case-studies, this thesis investigates environmental anxieties in New Zealand's settler society in the period 1830-1920. A central premise of this study is that the rapid environmental transformation of New Zealand stimulated widespread anxieties and reforms within settler society. These anxieties focussed as much on the changes already begun as on apprehensions of the results of these changes. Applying the concept of environmental anxiety to settler New Zealand expands understandings about colonial culture and its environmental history. It moves debate beyond simple narratives of colonial environmental destruction. Instead, this thesis highlights the ambiguities and complexities of colonial views of the natural world. This thesis points to the insecurities behind seeming Victorian confidence, even arrogance, in the ability of science and technology to bring constant material improvement. Europeans recognised that modern living brought material advantages but that the rapid environmental changes that underpinned these improvements also brought and threatened to bring unwanted outcomes. A diverse range of settlers worried about the effects of environmental changes. Individuals, institutions, committees, councils, doctors, scientists, artists, governments, engineers, and politicians expressed environmental anxieties of one kind or another. Some farmers, politicians and scientists held that deforestation decreased rainfall but increased temperatures. Other scientists and politicians feared that it brought devastating floods and soil erosion. Some Maori, travellers, politicians and scientists held that it destabilised sand that would inundate fertile fields. Councillors, engineers and doctors constantly debated ways of improving the healthiness of towns and cities, areas seen as particularly dangerous places in which to live. Doctors' and settlers' anxieties focused on the effects of New Zealand's climate on health and racial development. The impact of environmental change on the healthiness of certain areas, as well as the role played by humans in climate change, also provoked lively discussion. The effects of these anxieties are evident in some of the land policies, artworks, legislation, parliamentary and scientific debates, and writings of this period. Settlers believed curbing pollution, laying out parks, planting trees and restricting the construction of unhealthy properties improved living conditions in cities. Some scientists and politicians thought setting aside forest 'climate reserves' in highland areas, tree-planting legislation and sustainable forestry practices prevented flooding and climate change. Individuals and authorities also established sanatoria and spas in particularly healthy spots, such as at the seaside and in high, dry places. In investigating these topics, this thesis expands the discipline of environmental history, bringing to light the importance of studying urban environments, aesthetics, climate change, desertification and health. It expands the… Advisors/Committee Members: Stenhouse, John (advisor).

▼ Male honey bees gather in Drone Congregation Areas (DCAs), and meet with queens to mate in flight. Because they mate on the wing, investigation of these areas using current techniques is not easily facilitated in some areas, which limits research. This study investigates an improved method of studying DCAs in difficult areas; studies the landscape characteristics of DCA locations, and measures pheromone attraction between drones, and honeybee queens and workers, to ascertain any chemical contribution towards DCA formation. Using a camera equipped Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) holding an artificial honey bee queen with 9-Oxo-2-Decenoic Acid (9ODA), trials were conducted to investigate the different flight behaviours of honey bee drones on their mating flights, and the formation of DCAs. The use of the UAV was found to be successful in carrying out DCA research especially in inaccessible areas. Using this method, drone honey bee mating flight activity was investigated in several distinct areas; hill and valley areas; urban park areas, and flat agricultural areas. The data were analysed using Geographic Information System software ArcGIS 10.4.1. Different patterns of drone activity were found in the different areas suggesting that in hill and valley areas where well defined DCAs exist, landscape features played an important part in their location but that in flat areas, landscape features were not shown to play a part in DCA formation and instead, apiary-dependant DCAs dominated, and away from these apiaries, the abundance of drones flying at random in the flat areas (as opposed to being confined in a hill and valley area) would ensure mating. The results also suggest that contrary to some research, DCAs in hill and valley areas have flexible boundaries that may vary in response to other factors such as queen flight behaviour. In order to find out whether chemical influences could contribute to the formation of DCAs, a four- arm olfactometer test was carried out to investigate drone attractiveness to queens, and drone attractiveness to other drones. Contrary to my expectations, drones and queens were not attracted to other drones but rather to workers, perhaps because only sexually immature drones were available for the tests. The study overall confirms the usefulness of using a UAV in difficult areas; demonstrates a significant difference in the spatial dynamics of drone mating flight in different landscape areas, and concludes that DCA boundaries may be constructs that depend on the mating flight parameters of the queen rather than drones only. Further research, especially on the queen’s mating flight parameters is suggested.

▼ This thesis investigated the occurrence and habitat use of common dolphins (Delphinus sp.) inhabiting the central Bay of Plenty (BOP), North Island, New Zealand. Although common dolphins are the most prevalent species of dolphin found off the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand, there has been no long term empirical investigation of the species in the central BOP area. Behaviour of common dolphins in the presence of the observation platform was also assessed to investigate habitat use. Additionally, data describing other cetacean species occurring within this region are presented in order to place into context the importance of these waters for Delphinus. Sightings data were collected between March 1998 and May 2011 during 2364 boat-based surveys on board platform of opportunity, tourism vessel Gemini Galaxsea (a 60 ft ketch sailboat). Variables examined included location, group size, composition, water depth, time of day, seasonality, behaviour and the presence of associated species. Common dolphins were encountered during 54% (n = 1265) of surveys, in water depths ranging from 5.0 to 197.0 m. Delphinus sightings primarily occurred in the area between Motiti Island, Mayor Island and Waihi on the mainland. Group size ranged from one to 500+ individuals and was significantly affected by the time of day, month and depth of sightings. The most frequently recorded group size involved 50 to 100 animals, with larger aggregations more frequent during the warmer austral months when nutrient upwelling leads to increased prey availability in coastal waters off the BOP. Groups containing immature animals accounted for 16% of total sightings and occurred throughout the year, although neonate calves were only reported during the warmer austral summer months, supporting the concept of reproductive seasonality in this population. Common dolphin groups sighted within the central BOP were reported in association with five marine mammal species and 14 avian species, most frequently with various species of petrel (Procellariiformes) and the Australasian gannet (Morus serrator). The year round occurrence of common dolphins within central BOP waters indicates that this region maybe important for Delphinus. Behavioural data were collected from 162 independent dolphin groups. Overall, forage, social and travel accounted for the majority of recorded behavioural states, while mill and rest were less frequent. Behaviour was influenced by water depth, with foraging dolphins encountered in the deepest waters. Behaviour also varied significantly according to group size, with 4 foraging occurring more often than expected in large groups and resting, socialising and milling occurring more often in smaller groups. The presence of immature animals also had a significant influence on common dolphin behaviour, with foraging occurring more often than expected in groups containing immature animals. The presence of associated species varied according to behaviour, with the majority of foraging groups occurring…

▼ Until two decades ago, pregnant bodies were absent from mainstream media types or presented primarily in a maternal context. Today, the pregnant body is ubiquitous across a broad spectrum of media forms, including Internet websites, print media and screen narratives. This thesis explores the meanings and ramifications of this recently visible ideal, examining how contemporary media treat pregnant embodiment. This project focuses on the themes, tropes and discourses which characterise representations of pregnancy across four traditional media formats (magazines, novels, television and film fiction features); its goal is to elucidate the “story” about the pregnant body that contemporary media presents to the New Zealand woman as a consumer of both local and global culture. To answer this question, I look at the treatment of pregnancy in a set of examples drawn from a range of media genres (or formats) that are available to a New Zealand woman in the first decade of the twenty-first century. These include: thirteen mainstream women’s magazines published in New Zealand (1970-2008) and the Australian lifestyle magazine, Cosmopolitan Pregnancy (2005-2008); three “mummy lit” novels by Sophie Kinsella, Emily Giffin and Adele Parks; the television films Gone Up North for a While (1972) and Piece of My Heart (2009) which both follow the experiences of a young unmarried mother in post-war New Zealand; and the New Zealand television series Outrageous Fortune (2005-2010) and the American film Juno (2007), which each follow the unwanted pregnancy of a teenage girl in the twenty-first century. Current feminist media scholarship suggests the significance of maternity and domesticity to representations of women, but largely (with a few notable exceptions) fails to consider the pregnant body as representative of these ideals. This thesis responds to this oversight by examining how the treatment of pregnancy in contemporary media establishes a set of ideas about the nature of women’s lives. It argues that stories of pregnant embodiment are part of a wider narrative about a woman’s life more generally, what iconic second wave feminist Betty Friedan termed a “life plan.” I conclude that representations of pregnant embodiment mobilise a number of conflicting discourses that variously support and contradict each other. Women’s magazines offer a homogeneous vision of a feminine life plan, while mummy lit novels and screen narratives both acknowledge and contest this ideal; at the same time, each media type posits pregnancy as a significant milestone in the current life plan. Yet, all share a common agenda: encouraging the feminine subject to engage in a narcissistic relationship with her own body/self as a “mark” of her femininity. The disciplined pregnant body expresses the contradictions at the heart of femininity in a world in which a woman is expected to achieve success in the public realm as an individual, while finding personal fulfilment through motherhood (without which she is incomplete), which paradoxically only seems to… Advisors/Committee Members: Radner, Hilary (advisor).

▼ New Zealand has one of the highest mortality rates from cutaneous malignant melanoma in the world. Skin cancer has been linked to sunburn and excessive exposure to UVR. For this reason, both national and regional health promotion programmes have been implemented in New Zealand since 1988. The aim of these campaigns was to decrease harmful exposure to the sun by encouraging the public to engage in sun safe behaviours. The Cancer Society of New Zealand Inc. and the Health Sponsorship Council have undertaken the Triennial Sun Protection Survey series (Sun Survey), to inform and guide the New Zealand skin cancer control programme, since 1994. The Sun Survey was an ongoing computer assisted telephone interview (CATI) survey of residents (15–69 years) in five New Zealand metropolitan areas (Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton, Christchurch, and Dunedin), conducted every three years during the southern hemisphere summer. Interviews were conducted on either the Monday or Tuesday evening in randomly selected households following selected survey weekends. Data were obtained from 6,195 respondents: 1994 (n=1,243), 1997 (n=1,188), 1999/00 (n=1,250), 2002/03 (n=1,250), and 2005/06 (n=1,264). A conceptual model was developed to aid the research, based on both the literature review and a previous conceptual model developed by Hill and Boulter (1996). Using the Sun Survey data in conjunction with climate and UVR data from the National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research, matched to the respondents' interview day, this thesis had two main research foci: (1.) to describe the patterns of the outcome variables (duration outdoors, body coverage, and sunburn) across the survey years, 1994–2005/06 and (2.) to investigate predictors of those outcome variables described in (1.) using statistical modelling techniques, controlling for the respondents' current weather conditions, individual characteristics and behaviours. These analyses were undertaken on a reduced dataset of survey years 1999/00, 2002/03, and 2005/06. Attempts to tan have decreased and sunscreen utilisation has increased. However, no meaningful patterns that indicated the SunSmart programme goals have been achieved regarding reduced outdoor UVR exposure, increased body coverage, or decreased sunburn occurrence during peak UVR in summer months were found. Consistent with the literature review and in support of the conceptual model, the predictive models indicated that variables showing common associations with all three outcome variables were survey month, main activity undertaken, and utilisation of available shade. The contribution this thesis makes is: (1.) the development of a revised conceptual model of sunburn, (2.) the description of patterns across the survey years (1994–2005/06) in the areas of outdoor duration, body coverage and sunburn and (3.) the identification of predictors in these areas that may be addressed in future public health campaigns. In conclusion, this New Zealand study was the first assessment of patterns and predictors of duration outdoors, body… Advisors/Committee Members: Reeder, Anthony (Tony) (advisor).

▼ On September 3, 2010, a MW7.0 (USGS moment magnitude) earthquake ruptured 100 kilometers southeast of the Alpine Fault across the Canterbury Plains in South Island, New Zealand. Since then, New Zealand GNS Science has recorded over 10,000 aftershocks, including three destructive ~MW6.0 earthquakes near Christchurch. Because there were no active tectonic structures visible at the surface or recorded earthquakes larger than ~MW4.5 prior to September 2010, we treated the Canterbury earthquake sequence as an intraplate earthquake sequence, and compared its kinematics to the Andersonian model for fault slip in a uniform stress field. We determined moment magnitudes and double couple solutions for 144 earthquakes larger than MW3.7 in the Canterbury sequence through the use of an inversion technique relying on waveforms observed at stations on South Island, New Zealand. The majority (120) of these double couple solutions had strike slip focal mechanisms, with right lateral slip on ENE fault planes or left lateral slip on SSE fault planes. The remaining focal mechanisms were reverse, except for two normal faulting events. Both the right lateral and left lateral strike slip segments of the Canterbury earthquake sequence had near-optimal orientations for slip in a stress field with a horizontal σ1 oriented ~N115oE, and horizontal σ3. The preference for right lateral strike slip earthquakes suggested these structures were inherited from previous stages of deformation, leading to slip on these existing planes of weakness rather than forming new faults. Although reverse deformation was incompatible with such a stress field, it likely was more favorable for reverse slip to occur on previously existing structures rather than generate new, optimally oriented strike slip structures. The segments of reverse faulting bounded the Canterbury earthquake sequence, suggesting that they may have controlled the propagation of strike slip ruptures and aftershocks during the Canterbury earthquake sequence. Additionally, the double couple solutions yielded P- and T- axes, which were inferred to represent the orientations of the stress field driving the events. Despite the variations in slip direction and faulting style, most of the aftershocks had nearly the same P-axis orientation, consistent with the regional σ1. There was no clear evidence for any changes in these stress orientations throughout the Canterbury earthquake sequence, even near the main shock fault segment with ~5 meters of slip. Stress in the Canterbury Plains intraplate setting was accumulated by nearly uniform regional deformation, and the state of stress did not change significantly following the largest events in the sequence.

▼ From 1840, when New Zealand became part of the British Empire, until 1940 when the nation celebrated its Centennial, the piano was the most dominant instrument in domestic music making and the home pianist an important feature of New Zealand’s musical landscape. Many home pianists had their collection of individual sheets of music bound into composite volumes (“owner bound volumes”). This study’s sample of over 100 owner identified owner bound volumes (OBVs) examines the cultural and commercial significance of music sellers and music owners. Beyond the sample of OBVs, the study draws on personal and business archives, newspapers, directories and local and family histories in exploring music making over the course of a century. During the 100-year span of the study the music seller facilitated access to popular music by acting as a conduit between those composing and publishing sheet music, and the individual playing the piano in their home. As well as being a study in commerce and culture, the study is also located within the field of print culture. Sheet music was the staple sold by the music seller and the study explores the availability, sale and “consumption” of sheet music. The wide range of businesses selling sheet music in New Zealand between 1840 and 1940 affirms music’s significance to print culture commercially, socially and culturally. This study examines the music seller’s and music owner’s role in domestic music making, and in particular, the distribution, ownership and longevity of the popular sheet music later bound into OBVs. Booksellers, newspapers and businesses selling all types of goods and services sold sheet music, but the biggest music sellers were the specialist music dealers who also sold musical instruments. Two of these, Begg’s (1861-1970) and the Dresden (1883-1936) achieved nationwide coverage and longevity. Often based in substantial and impressive premises, specialist music dealers occupied prominent positions in the main commercial streets of towns and cities. The study also explores the societal, cultural and commercial links between women, the piano and sheet music. Gender is a theme throughout as the amateur female pianist was the primary customer for composers, publishers and music sellers, and women were also piano teachers, “play over girls” in music shops, pianists for the silent movies and mothers eager for their children to learn the piano. The study identifies the owners of the OBVs, exploring the differences in their backgrounds between 1840 and 1940. Initially the daughters of the wealthy, the landed or the educated, by 1900 the owners of the OBVs were from a broader socio-economic span with fathers who were labourers, barmen and railway workers. The study relates home music makers to the desire for, and purchase of, pianos in the context of gentility and democratisation. Musical taste is explored through an analysis of the individual sheets within the OBVs. The bulk of music changing hands was “popular”, music of the moment, rather than “classical” or “serious”.

▼ Mountain glaciers are already responding to climatic warming, and are expected to make a substantial contribution to sea-level rise in the coming decades. The aim of this investigation in the New Zealand Southern Alps was to improve our understanding of snow accumulation variability on mid-latitude maritime glaciers, in order to allow for better estimation of future glacier mass balance. The specific aim was to investigate snow accumulation processes at a range of spatial and temporal scales, focussing on synoptic-scale atmospheric circulation influences, moisture sources for snow accumulation and local-scale dependencies of snow accumulation in relation to topography. A range of methods were utilised including direct measurement, snow and ice core analysis, statistical analysis and modelling. Snow accumulation in the Southern Alps was found to be derived predominantly from the Tasman Sea, and deposited during low pressure troughs and fronts. Although precipitation increased with elevation, wind processes redistributed this mass. On a ~monthly timescale this redistribution caused an unexpected result, namely that wind deflation of snow on Franz Josef Glacier countered the effects of greater accumulation, and total accumulation was similar at both Franz Josef and Tasman Glaciers over this period. These processes make it challenging to simulate snow accumulation patterns by simply extrapolating snowfall over an orographic barrier from lowland climate station data. On an inter-annual basis, temperature, especially during the ablation season, had most influence on net accumulation, and warm summers served to homogenise winter variability. Consequently, atmospheric circulation patterns that affect summer temperature, for example the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) also influence inter-annual variability in net accumulation. Together, these results highlight the dependence of maritime glaciers in the New Zealand Southern Alps on the prevailing westerly circulation. Although some uncertainty surrounds how global warming will affect atmospheric circulation and synoptic weather patterns, the results of this research indicate that New Zealand glaciers can be expected to lose significant mass in the coming decades if the current positive trend in the SAM continues, and if La Niña events (positive ENSO) become more frequent.

▼ This study explores the reasons why so few women writers in Aotearoa New Zealand were seen as prominent figures in the literary scene from the end of World War Two up to the time when the feminist movement gained momentum, in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Using feminist methodology, I examine whether women writers were deliberately under-represented and their work trivialised by the male writers, critics and publishers of the time. What were the factors accounting for this under-representation? I also discuss to what extent there were successes and achievements, either literary or commercial, for the women writers of the time despite their real and/or perceived exclusion from the canon. Literary writers by definition create public documents, including manuscripts, working papers, and letters. The existence of such records means that perhaps more so than for many groups, we have evidence regarding attitudes, intentions, motives and responses to situations of the individual women writers of this period with which to answer these questions. The Georgians vs Modernists debate is examined. The starting date of 1945 for this thesis is significant for it was in that year that Allen Curnow's anthology A Book of New Zealand Verse was published. One of the striking things about the collection is that only two of the sixteen poets represented are women: Ursula Bethell and Robin Hyde. He did invite and encourage Eileen Duggan to contribute but she declined. Curnow‘s book went into a second edition in 1951 with twenty three poets, three of whom were women, Ruth Dallas being the third. In 1953 a book titled POEMS: Anthology of New Zealand Women Writers was published. This could be seen as an attempt to make up for Curnow's omissions. As evidence, I look to women writers of the time to see what restrictions on writing and publishing existed. In 1957 the literary magazine numbers published a letter by Willow Macky in which she criticises the critics of the New Zealand literary scene for their unfavourable reviews of the latest book by the poet Ruth Gilbert, The Sunlit Hour. Macky's letter was both a plea to her male colleagues and an indictment against them for their treatment of their female counterparts. She states: 'Most women, if they wish for success, will try to conform, monkey-like, to the masculine pattern; others, by remaining true to their feminine insight, risk opposition and failure in male-dominated fields' (Macky, 1957: 26). Was this the case and if so why? The 1970 cut-off date for this thesis coincides approximately with the development of the feminist movement in New Zealand. However, according to lesbian-feminist poet Heather McPherson, prejudice continued. McPherson had poems published in Landfall and had approached Leo Bensemann, then Caxton Press and Landfall editor, with a collection of poems. She mentioned to him that she had become a feminist. His reply was that Rita Cook (Rita Angus) had become a feminist 'but it didn‘t do her any good either' (McPherson, 2007: 116). These two examples illustrate some of… Advisors/Committee Members: Laurie, Alison, Hyman, Prue.

▼ This is a study of the lexical effects on New Zealand English of the legal, social and economic changes brought about by the fourth Labour government and its successor during the decade from 1984 - 1994, during which period the New Zealand public sector was radically reformed. In order to carry out this study a corpus of approximately five million written words was compiled, consisting of three parallel sets of documents from four domains of use in the public sector. Chapter One provides the rationale for scoping the study both to this particular ten-year period and to the lexis of four particular government departments, namely The Treasury and the Ministries of Social Welfare, Health and Education. A review of previous related work in the field of lexicography, and the aims and specific research questions which motivated the study, are located at the end of this first chapter. Chapter Two explains the reasons behind the selection of three particular documents for use as data sources: the Annual Reports, the annual Corporate Plans, and the triennial Briefings to the Incoming Government. This chapter also describes the methodology used to determine words for inclusion in the glossary which is located in Appendix I. The advantages and pitfalls of the Google search method are discussed, as are the approaches taken to dealing with multiword units, proper nouns, abbreviations and words of Maori origin. The construction and arrangement of the glossary are explained here, including the basis for selection of citations. In Chapter Three an overview of each ministry's dataset is given in terms of its linguistic characteristics, and the results of the study are described. The penultimate chapter catalogues the discovery of a rich vein of figurative language throughout the documents of the New Zealand Treasury, as evidenced by varied and extended metaphors used to express economic concepts. This chapter gives a brief account of metaphor theory and discusses the methodology used for identification of metaphors in the dataset. The fifth and final chapter of this study sums up the overall findings and points the way towards useful future research in this field. A major part of this study consists of the aforementioned lexicon in Appendix I of New Zealand-specific words from these domains and their illustrative citations. This lexicon is a record of the NZE words used in a particular dataset in the public sector of New Zealand. It amounts to approximately 260 entries supported by 660 citations, which were collected via an exhaustive data search of three types of government document over one decade. These terms are not new in the sense that they first appeared in NZE during the decade of this study, but approximately two-thirds of them are new in the sense that they do not appear in any dictionary of English. This collection of terms constitutes a cultural and historical archive, which records the distinctive identity of New Zealand's public sector as it underwent a revolutionary era of profound political and economic change.

▼ Since 1970 there has been growing concern over poverty in New Zealand in academia, government, and popular culture. From 1970 until 1984, this concern focused on New Zealand’s prolonged recession and falling standards of living in a period of high inflation. Since then, however, poverty and economic disparity have increased dramatically. The 1970-1984 period is now looked upon as relatively generous and committed to economic equality. The increase in poverty in contemporary times is marked by two political features. Neoliberal economic and social policies have resulted in the polarisation of wealth, increased employment insecurity, and reduced income for those reliant on state benefits (Harvey 2005). At the same time, discourses of morality have blamed beneficiaries for their “dependence” on the state. These features are not simply coincidental: the Governments that pursued income supplement reductions in New Zealand also employed the rhetoric of “welfare dependency” (O’Brien, Bradford, Stevens, Walters & Wicks 2010). As such, the link between moral discourse about poverty and political outcomes for the poor seems undeniable. I argue in this thesis that the relationship between these moral discourses and political outcomes is not as straightforward as the narrative above suggests. To make this argument I analyse moral discourses of poverty in the pre-neoliberal and neoliberal periods and find that these discourses are not as clearly aligned with macroeconomic periods as some suggest. Using this analysis, I then draw upon three traditions of cultural studies with macro-sociological theoretical orientations to determine a more fruitful analysis of the relationship between cultural meaning and political outcomes. I propose in this thesis that an analysis of the cultural meaning and political outcomes of poverty requires an investigation into three related spaces of contestation: mediation, regulation, and critique. To operationalise this analysis I focus specifically on newsprint mediation of poverty and neoliberalism, the institutional arrangements of the state that correspond to macroeconomic periods, and anti-poverty social movements. I also argue – counter to trends in sociological cultural studies – that the concepts of ideology and class must be re-introduced to effectively analyse the relationship between the cultural meanings and political outcomes of poverty. In my analysis I find considerable spaces of contestation between newspaper media, state institutions, and social movements. At the same time, synergies between them emerge. In all three, a “cultural logic” that promotes social and ethnic identities over economic identities becomes institutionalized within social movements, state institutions, and media reporting within the neoliberal era. This promotion of identities runs counter to the economic regulation of the period, where polarization occurs throughout society. As this “cultural logic” is institutionalized in the state, it is used to promote the understanding that economic disparity occurs between… Advisors/Committee Members: Grey, Sandra, Nickel, Patricia.

▼ The thesis is made up of four separate but related texts recording the author’s investigations of loss, searches and re-constructions. Questions of ownership are also examined, with particular reference to objects of cultural and artistic significance. The Holocaust is a major focus, especially attitudes of the New Zealand government and New Zealanders themselves to the refugees who wished to settle here before and after World War II. The thesis is a hybrid of critical and creative writing. The first three texts, “The autobiographical museum”, “History-making” and “Cairn”, are also hybrid in genre, containing found text, new prose and poems, discussion of other writers’ work and the author’s experiments in ‘active reading’. The fourth text is an Index which offers an alternative reading of the other three texts and helps the reader to locate material. While somewhat different from each other in form, all texts focus on the activity of gathering objects and information. All four texts are fragmented rather than complete. Interviews with curators, education officers and CEOs in two Australian museums that have Holocaust exhibits provided information on the aims and processes of these exhibits. Meetings with six Holocaust survivors who act as volunteer guides in museums and reactions of visitors to the museums provided other perspectives on the work of the museums. The author also reports on visits to the Holocaust Gallery at the Auckland War Memorial Museum and the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand in Wellington. Activity Theory, a cultural-historical model often applied to the analysis of learning and pedagogy, is used in the thesis as a metaphorical backdrop to the author’s own activity. The author’s focus on intentions, tools, processes, division of labour and financial pressures reflects the influence of Activity Theory as does the author’s willingness to let understanding take shape gradually through tentative conclusions, some of which are later overturned. Over the period of the research, records of the past are recovered and re-examined in the present, as was intended. Individual and collective memory, including archival records, fiction and poetry are resources for these investigations. The author receives an object lesson in the power of the informal networking role of the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand, as well as benefiting from its formal displays and materials. During the research the author writes records of the present because it seems necessary to do so. By the time the research ends, these have become records of the past – an outcome which Emanuel Ringelblum would have predicted but was a surprise to the author.

▼ Climate variability in New Zealand (34-47°S), a long, narrow continental strip straddling the mid-latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere, results largely from the interplay between sub-tropical and sub-Antarctic atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems. Despite their importance to present-day New Zealand climate, these hemispheric-wide systems have only recently come under the spotlight of paleo-climate investigations with most attention having traditionally been centred on reconstructing climate trends. This PhD adopts a broader approach to climate reconstruction, by developing and comparing two new pollen-climate reconstructions from New Zealand (38-42°S) and one from Patagonia, Southern Chile (43°S). At each site, paleo-climate interpretations are based on the changes in climate-sensitive plant indicators. The influence of hemispheric atmospheric circulation on New Zealand climate history is assessed by: (1) comparing New Zealand climate/vegetation trends with published proxies from low- and high-latitudes, and (2) comparing New Zealand reconstructions with the Patagonian record. Finally, a multi-millennial pattern of Southern Hemisphere circulation over the last 14,000 cal yr BP (calendar years before AD 1950) is outlined. The first record presented is a 16,000-year temperature reconstruction from a small alpine lake in South Island, New Zealand (41°S), based on pollen and plant macrofossils. Climate variations are interpreted from the relative abundance of lowland and highland vegetation. The results include a lifting of the altitudinal forest limits attributed to warming pulses between 13,000-10,000 cal yr BP and between 7000-6000 cal yr BP, and a decline of lowland relative to upland forest taxa interpreted as cooling trends between 10,000-7000 cal yr BP and over the last 3000 years. The second record gives 15,000-year temperature and precipitation reconstructions from a peatbog in northern New Zealand (38°S), based on pollen and charcoal analysis. Temperature changes are assessed based on two quantitate reconstructions, whereas precipitation trends are inferred from variations in arboreal taxa with different drought tolerances. A long-term warming is inferred between 14,600-10,000 cal yr BP. Persistent dry conditions are recorded between 12,000-10,000 cal yr BP, followed by a long-term wet period between 10,000-6000 cal yr BP. The last 7000 years feature a long-term drying trend that culminates with persistent drier conditions over the last 3000 years. The third record provides a 16,000-year reconstruction from a small lake in Northwestern Patagonia (43°S), based on pollen and charcoal analysis. Climate conditions are inferred from the relative variations of pollen types with distinctive climate tolerances and complemented with changes in fire activity. These variations are in turn interpreted as resulting from changes in the position and/or strength of the Southern Westerly Winds (SWW). Cold and moist conditions attributable to stronger/northward-shifted SWW winds are observed between 16,000-13,600 cal yr… Advisors/Committee Members: Newnham, Rewi.

▼ Isoreticulation is the “tweaking” of the structure of an already established metal-organic framework (MOF) to alter certain properties, while still maintaining the original parent topology. This work investigated the isoreticulation of the already established Li-MOF with the intention of enhancing gas uptake. The literature suggests that isoreticulation through the incorporation of Lewis basic sites (Chapter 2) and linear ligand extension (Chapter 3) are useful ways to enhance the uptake of gas. A general overview of MOFs, i.e. what they are and specific design strategies is provided in Chapter 1. This is then followed by examples of isoreticulation, including the addition of Lewis basic sites and linear ligand extension. To this end, the versatility of the adamantane core is showcased, but the absence of literature methods describing the direct attachment of functionalised N-heterocycles is made known. The utilisation of N-oxide chemistry and photochemistry towards the direct addition of N-heterocycles onto the adamantane core is discussed in Chapter 2. Both areas of investigation utilised a di-substituted adamantane precursor, 1,3-dibromoadamantane (1,3-DBA) or 1,3-carboxyadamantane (1,3-DCA), to facilitate the addition of two N-heterocycles. The N-oxide chemistry focused on the coupling of 1,3-DBA with various pyridine-N-oxide moieties. Many reaction conditions were tested, with each providing access to mono-substituted adamantane derivatives. The photochemistry explored light irradiation of 1,3-DCA with the N-heterocycles methyl nicotinate, methyl isonicotinate, 2-acetylpyridine and 5-methyl-2,2’-bipyridine carboxylate. The chemistry discussed provided access to both mono- and di-substituted adamantane derivatives. In both cases, access to the mono-substituted adamantane core proceeded with the retention of the unreacted precursor functional group, i.e. a bromine atom or carboxylic acid of 1,3-DBA or 1,3-DCA, respectively. Three robust compounds were synthesised using the photochemistry established: 1,3-bis(3-carboxypyridine)adamantane (L1), 1-carboxy-3-(3’-carboxypyridine)adamantane (L2) and 1-carboxy-3-(4-carboxypyridine)adamantane (L3). Linear extension of 1,3-bis(carboxyphenyl)adamantane to the corresponding 1,3-bis(4-carboxyphenyl-4’-phenyl)adamantane (L4) is described in Chapter 3. Various synthetic routes towards the construction of L4 are discussed, all of which were successful. Complexation of L1 and L4 with various metal salts is detailed in Chapter 4. When reacted with LiOH·H2O, both L1 and L4 provided isoreticulations of the previously established framework Li-MOF, referred to as IRLi-MOF and IRLi-MOF-L4, respectively. The complexation of L1 with Cu(BF4)2·H2O and Zn(OTf)2 provided a 2D3D interpenetrated framework (Cu-L1) and an infinite 1D zig-zag chain (Zn-L1), respectively.

▼ Throughout the nineteenth century probably the majority of Pakeha held the view that the East Polynesian ancestors of the Maori were the first people to settle in New Zealand. Over the same period there were always considerable numbers of Pakeha who held the alternative view that an earlier people were already living in New Zealand when the first East Polynesian immigrants arrived. Among Maori each hapu and iwi had their own origin traditions. Some held that their ancestors arrived to an empty land, while others believed there were other groups already here when their own ancestors arrived. The traditions of the Chatham Island Moriori indicated that they were also East Polynesian migrants, but some Pakeha speculated that the Moriori were a distinct people from the Maori. By the early twentieth century one set of ideas on early settlement had become the orthodox view of the past among Pakeha. This view, which held sway from the 1910s until at least the 1960s, maintained that the original people of New Zealand were the 'Moriori', a people only distantly related, if at all, to the Maori. This primitive early people were supposed to have been displaced by the arrival of the more advanced East Polynesian Maori. Some of the more fortunate Moriori were absorbed into the Maori tribes, while the majority were either killed or driven into exile on the Chatham Islands. This idea of the past, sometimes called the 'Moriori Myth', has now been largely rejected by scholars, but still holds some currency in popular circles. The current thesis examines the question of how the 'Moriori Myth' developed and eventually became the orthodox view of the past. This question is investigated in the contexts of British imperial expansion, of the development of scientific ideas on race and evolution, and of the study of language and folklore as a way to decipher racial history. The current thesis is largely based on the writings of Pakeha and Maori scholars of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Letters and manuscripts, in both English and Maori, have been used, along with published books and papers. The major focus of the work is the idea that the Moriori Myth largely developed out of the Pakeha study of Maori oral history. This study of oral history led to a considerable degree of interaction between Pakeha scholars and Maori experts. A major focus in the early part of the work is on Pakeha attempts to determine the racial identity and history of the Chatham Island Moriori. In this part of the work considerable attention has been paid to the collaborative work of the Pakeha scholar Alexander Shand and the Moriori expert Hirawanu Tapu, who worked together to record the surviving Moriori traditions. The focus of the latter part of this thesis is on the creation by Pakeha scholars of theoretical models of the early migrations to New Zealand, based on their understandings of Maori oral traditions. It will be argued that the 'Moriori Myth' was largely based on the writings of Stephenson Percy Smith, as promoted by himself… Advisors/Committee Members: Reilly, Michael (advisor).

▼ In New Zealand the Department of Labour provides guidance on the provision of first-aid equipment, facilities and training to meet the requirements of the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992, and Regulations 1995. The guidelines state that employers should take all practicable steps to provide suitably qualified first-aid personnel, and outline the nature and frequency of first-aid training. In addition the Factories and Commercial Premises (First Aid) Regulations 1985 state the specific requirements for workplace first-aid provision. Systematic research on workplace first-aid policy and practice, first-aid training, equipment, and first-aid facilities had not been undertaken since the legislation and guidelines were introduced. Similarly research on the first-aiders’ role, the nature and frequency of their training, their use of workplace first-aid equipment and facilities, and their application of first-aid did not exist. Furthermore, the relevance of the first-aid training syllabus in relation to the first-aid treatment provided in the workplace had not been explored. This research explored workplace first-aid policy and practice in accordance with the legislation and guidelines, and determined how past events, circumstances, and dominant social norms had shaped this provision. The aim was to ascertain the workplaces’ requirements for first-aid, inform future workplace first-aid policy and practice in New Zealand, minimise the consequences of workplace injury and/or illness through the provision of appropriate emergency care, and contribute to the wider body of knowledge on workplace first-aid. Three research methods were used. Two exploratory qualitative surveys were conducted with a small sample of workplaces. The results informed two national surveys that included workplaces from all Industry Groups, and multiple statistical analyses were completed. Finally, historical research was undertaken from two distinct perspectives. The first investigated the introduction, development, and expansion of workplace first-aid in New Zealand between 1884 and 2005. The second traced the content and delivery of the first-aid training syllabus taught to attain certification during the same period of time. A social critical approach was used for both of the historical research strands. The results show emergency first-aid care was not available in all workplaces. Workplaces were unaware of legislative requirements, and or guidelines on first-aid provision. Traditionally, these requirements have been based on dominant social norms rather than evidence-based, and have little relevance in the workplace. Workplace first-aid policy and practice was not based on the potential exposure to risk of injury and/or illness, the availability of medical care, systematic practices, or workplace injury/illness data. First-aid training and assessment was inconsistent, infrequent, and parts of the syllabus were irrelevant. There was no evidence to suggest workplace first-aid training, equipment and facilities was… Advisors/Committee Members: Galletly, Duncan (advisor).

▼ Cominella maculosa and C. virgata are common rocky shore whelk species from New Zealand. This study used DNA sequences from the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) to expand an earlier unpublished dataset and examine the phylogeographic structure of both species in the Cook Strait region, of C. maculosa in the Chatham Islands, and of C. virgata in the northern North Island. Both species are found to have a considerable degree of phylogeographic structure, concordant with that reported by an earlier study and for other species with direct development. South Island sites sampled for C. maculosa had several private haplotypes and a high frequency haplotype that is shared with populations from the southern North Island. Together, these formed a ‘southern haplogroup’. Low diversity in ‘southern’ populations may reflect founder effects that would have occurred as part of a southward range expansion during the onset of the present interglacial period. The Chatham Islands samples had two haplotypes that formed a separate sub-group to the ‘southern haplogroup’, suggesting Chatham Islands populations are moderately isolated from those on mainland New Zealand but may have been founded from ‘southern’ populations relatively recently. The high frequency haplotype present in South Island samples of C. virgata is absent in Wellington samples but widespread in those from the north-eastern North Island. South Island populations may have been founded from the Hauraki Gulf through human-mediated translocation events. Phylogenetic analyses with a focus on C. virgata were conducted using the mitochondrial genes CO1 and 16SrRNA, and the nuclear gene 18S rRNA, to expand an earlier published dataset. The purported northern subspecies C. virgata brookesi does not form a monophyletic lineage and voucher specimens fluidly intergrade with the nominal subspecies, with which it is synonymised. A lectotype is designated for Buccinum lineolatum Quoy & Gaimard, 1833, for which Cominella virgata is a replacement name. Potential causes of the disjunct distribution patterns of C. virgata and other mollusc taxa are discussed with particular reference to the formation and timing of marine straits through the Auckland Isthmus and Cook Strait.

▼ In the last seventeen years, migrant settlement and integration policy has grown and expanded in New Zealand. While not necessarily a new concept in public policy, settlement and integration of migrants and refugees has dominated the discourse of Immigration policy in New Zealand for much of the 21st century. The topic of Immigration has become more complex and politically challenging as the world has become more interconnected and globalised. Consequently, as the public sector learned more about what settlement means in the context of migration and what programmes and services Government should deliver to newcomers and refugees, discussions have taken place to codify what responsibilities both central and local government in New Zealand have to newcomers. The central research question of this thesis has been how and why has local government’s role in delivering migrant services changed vis-à-vis the role of central government in New Zealand since 2000? By extension, how effective do community stakeholders and local authority staff perceive the current set of arrangements for delivering migrant integration and settlement services? To answer this question, the thesis analyses the early national immigrant settlement framework and then early regional government settlement framework through its two case studies, in Auckland and Wellington. This thesis draws from a vast well of Government reports, reviews and policy recommendations, scholarly articles and academic opinions as well as interviews of current stakeholders. It charts the changing priorities of central government post-‐‑2008, stakeholder perceptions of those arrangements and, in the context of local and central government service delivery, argues that while the first national and regional framework were focused on the social aspects of settlement, the latest frameworks have prioritised the economic aspects, as central government has learned from the results of the first framework and formulated its position on settlement services as one of leadership. This is in contrast to local government which has not yet successfully reached a consensus position. What this thesis concludes is that while the new set of arrangements has been met with mixed reception, and central government is still working on improving them, local governments in New Zealand are behind in formulating policy but based upon the findings in this thesis, have a responsibility to migrants and refugees when settling them into communities.

▼ Natural disasters have immense impacts on the physical environment but they also affect communities and individuals on a widespread mental level. Disasters disrupt personal and community identity, sense of belonging and connection to the physical built environment. On the 14th of November, 2016, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the provincial New Zealand town of Kaikoura. The earthquake took the lives of 2 people and caused significant damage to buildings and homes, displacing many families and affecting many of the local businesses. Of significant impact was the damage to State Highway 1, that resulted in the roads in and out of Kaikoura being closed making travel to the north and south much more difficult and time consuming than before the event. For most of the community, their everyday rhythms and routines had been completely compromised as they adapted to their new post disaster environment. The characteristics of sport, both through participating and spectating, have the ability to address the negative impacts of disasters making it an effective tool for disaster recovery. Sport as a support mechanism allows victims of disasters, where for many, sport will be a regular everyday rhythm, to shift their focus of attention from the experiences of loss to finding elements of normalcy in their lifestyles and routines; experiencing familiar bodily functions and re-establishing community identity and personal belonging. Sport in provincial New Zealand is culturally intrinsic and the effects of it not being as available can negatively impact personal and community identity. Sport facilities are often the platform for which many community relationships and networks are created and it is not often that sport is disassociated from the venue it occurs in because of the shared memories and experiences that become embedded through its subconscious fabric. In response to discovering the role of sport as a tool for community resilience, a design led investigation will test how that role can be reflected through architecture. This will be in the form of a community centre that gravitates around sport in Kaikoura. Focussing on the unifying and supportive characteristics of community sport, ideas generated through a workshop in Kaikoura, rather than the traditional pragmatics and efficiency of sports facilities, this design proposal will aim to capture this role in an area recovering from a significant natural disaster. The small coastal town of Kaikoura was selected as the site for the design research as it continues its recovery from the earthquake. The area lost two of its primary sporting facilities; the community swimming pool and high school gym that was used by many community groups outside of the high school. The closures to State Highway 1 meant that the ability to participate in sport, especially for younger generations, was effectively cut off and that as a consequence the role that sport could play in their recovery was compromised, with invisible effects. The risk also exists that intergenerational sport in… Advisors/Committee Members: Potangaroa, Regan.
