Sustainable Development Resources

This page is adapted from Appendix 4 to the James Henare Mäori Research Centre's discussion document Rethinking Tourism in Québec, Oaxaca and Taitokerau (2003); many resources specifically related to tourism have been identified separately in Appendix 6 to the report Rethinking Tourism in Taitokerau (2004), and an interactive version of that section of the report (including some additional material) is available on this website (click here to view the tourism resource list). Many of these documents were held on the JHMRC web site in 2003 – check out http://www.jhmrc.ac.nz to see what has been retained or added there. The links to the original sources of the documents have been used here, except for a few which are no longer available from the original source, in which case they can be downloaded directly from this web site. This includes a number of papers related to sustainable tourism as it affects indigenous peoples, some of which are not listed in Appendix 6 of Rethinking Tourism in Taitokerau.

The research reported in this paper focused on one central question:

What factors contribute to cultural, social, economic and political well-being amongst Mäori in larger urban areas, and how are these inter-related?

This question was explored drawing on data developed within several research sites within metropolitan Auckland. Since Auckland is a microcosm of the larger urban scene, this information has wider significance.

The purpose of the research was to assist in the development of policy that will transform the urban Mäori situation; and to identify the factors that need attention in order to ensure that all Mäori in larger urban areas have the freedom to develop their capabilities so they achieve personal well-being and contribute positively to their whänau as the pre-requisite to building a dynamic nation. Appropriate policy was to be built on evidence such as that developed in the study reported here.

This paper develops an argument based on some of the material in a larger study presented in five volumes, to which readers are referred for more detail: see appendix one for a table of contents of the volumes.
