  • The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative
    THE PUBLIC REALM OF CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH NARRATIVE Written by Debbie Tikao, Landscape Architect and General Manager of the Matapopore Charitable Trust. Kia atawhai ki te iwi – Care for the people Pita Te Hori, Upoko – Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga, 1861 The Public Realm of Central Christchurch Narrative 1 2 CERA Grand Narratives INTRODUCTION This historical narrative weaves together Ngāi Tahu cultural values, stories and traditional knowledge associated with Ōtautahi (Christchurch) and the highly mobile existence of hapū and whānau groups within the Canterbury area and the wider landscape of Te Waipounamu (South Island). The focus of this historical narrative therefore is on this mobile way of life and the depth of knowledge of the natural environment and natural phenomena that was needed to navigate the length and breadth of the diverse and extreme landscape of Te Waipounamu. The story that will unfold is not one of specific sites or specific areas, but rather a story of passage and the detailed cognitive maps that evolved over time through successive generations, which wove together spiritual, genealogical, historical and physical information that bound people to place and provided knowledge of landscape features, mahinga kai and resting places along the multitude of trails that established the basis for an economy based on trade and kinship. This knowledge system has been referred to in other places as an oral map or a memory map, which are both good descriptions; however, here it is referred to as a cognitive map in an attempt to capture the multiple layers of ordered and integrated information it contains. This historical narrative has been written to guide the design of the public realm of the Christchurch central business area, including the public spaces within the East and South frames.

Page 1 of 9 Template File Pathway: Y:\CFS\CPHGroups\RMC\SDC\LTP\2018\SelwynLTPSubmissionFinal180503.docx SUBMISSION ON SELWYN DISTRICT COUNCIL DRAFT LONG TERM PLAN Details of submitter 1. Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) 2. The CDHB is responsible for promoting the reduction of adverse environmental effects on the health of people and communities and to improve, promote and protect their health pursuant to the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 and the Health Act 1956. 3. These statutory obligations are the responsibility of the Ministry of Health and, in the Canterbury District, are carried out under contract by Community and Public Health under Crown funding agreements on behalf of the Canterbury District Health Board. General comments 4. Health and wellbeing (overall quality of life) is influenced by a wide range of factors beyond the health sector. These influences can be described as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, and are impacted by environmental, social and behavioural factors. They are often referred to as the ‘social determinants of health1. Barton and Grant’s Health Map2 shows how various influences on health are complex and interlinked.

  • Comparison of Liquefaction-Induced Land Damage and Geomorphic Variability in Avonside, New Zealand
    6th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering 1-4 November 2015 Christchurch, New Zealand Comparison of Liquefaction-induced Land Damage and Geomorphic Variability in Avonside, New Zealand S.H. Bastin1, M.C. Quigley2, K. Bassett3 Abstract Field mapping, LiDAR, and aerial photography are used to map surface liquefaction-induced lateral spreading fissures and aligned sand blow vents formed during the 22 February 2011 Mw 6.2 Christchurch earthquake. Classification of the study area into 164 polygons enables comparison of liquefaction severity metrics including linear liquefaction feature density, ejecta surface area, and horizontal and vertical ground surface displacements with geomorphic metrics including distance from the downslope free-face, surface elevation, sediment type, and the liquefaction potential index (LPI). Preliminary analyses indicate (i) mean fissure density decreases with increasing distance from the free face at distances of 0-50 m, no relationship is observed at distances >50 m, (ii) mean horizontal ground displacement increases with increasing LPI, and (iii) vertical subsidence is invariant with elevation, implying that other factors (e.g. LPI) may contribute to a complex liquefaction strain field. The basic geology and geomorphology are derived from LiDAR and modern river morphology. Comparison of the liquefaction data with geomorphic mapping indicates geomorphic mapping may be applied to determine the likely distribution of sediments susceptible to liquefaction. Introduction Cyclic shearing of loosely consolidated, fluid saturated sediments during earthquake-induced ground motion results in excess pore-water pressures and reduced shear strength in the affected media. Liquefaction occurs as the grain arrangement collapses causing pore water pressures to exceed the confining pressure (Seed & Idriss, 1982; Idriss & Boulanger, 2008).
