Maps and charts subsequently published by the Department were allocated an NZMS series number. The NZMS series included all published government maps produced by the Department for public consumption, classified maps produced for the Ministry of Defence and a small number of other products, such as Department’s in- ternal forms and instructions. The NZMS series numbers range from NZMS 1 to NZMS 347; some include subseries identified by a letter (e.g. NZMS 2A). Not all numbers, 1 to 347, were allocated and some series, despite being allocated a number, were never published. From 1987 to 1996 the NZMS series were issued under a brand name Infomap (e.g. Infomap 344). Individual NZMS series range in size from a single map to over a thousand sheets. Some maps and map series published prior to the introduction of NZMS series numbering system were allocated a series number retrospectively (e.g. NZMS 13 – published from 1876 until 1961, or NZMS 20 – a single map from 1929). The NZMS series numbering system was discontinued from June 1996, coinciding with a restructure of the Depart- ment of Survey and Land Information into Land Information New Zealand, although some maps and charts were still issued under the Series number (e.g. Series 260). All NZMS series maps were classified into seven Catalogue Classes: General, Cadastral, Topographic, Mosa- ic, Aeronautical, Pacific and Miscellaneous. This classification, established in 1948, has been modified here to better reflect the diversity of map applications and coverage by separating Street, Antarctic and Defence classes from the original classification. The table overleaf lists all NZMS series currently held in this repository, providing their classification, generic title, scale and indicative publication dates or date ranges. The files are provided in JPG and TIF formats, with a selection of NZMS series also available in a georeferenced GeoTIF format. About Cartographic and Geospatial Resources Repository This developing repository of map images initially focuses on maps and charts published by the New Zealand Lands and Survey Department (later called Department of Survey and Land Information, and now Land Infor- mation New Zealand) since the 1850s. They are classified into three distinct groups: New Zealand Mapping Service (NZMS) series maps and charts Land and Survey (L&S) series maps and charts Topographic (Topo) series maps In addition, the repository contains digital topographic databases for New Zealand and its offshore islands, Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau and Ross Dependency in Antarctica produced by Land Information New Zealand since 2011 onwards: digital Topographic (Topo) data NZMS Class Title Scale Dates* Notes 1 Topographic N.Z.

  • Regional Variation in New Zealand English Is Something of a Conundrum
    Regional variation in NZ English Regional variation in New Zealand English is something of a conundrum. Although a dialect of the Southland/Otago region is well-known and documented (Bartlett 1992, 2003; Hay, Maclagan and Gordon 2008), linguists have yet to find concrete evidence of other regional New Zealand English dialects. Yet the general New Zealand public are often adamant that there are regional differences in how New Zealand English is spoken. Folklinguistic evidence of regional variation Studies dealing with societal attitudes towards and beliefs about a language are called folklinguistic studies. Folklinguistic studies (Gordon 1997; Nielsen and Hay 2005) show that New Zealanders do tend to believe that there are regional differences in New Zealand English but, when asked to provide information about these differences, comments usually refer to characteristics of the region or the people living in the region rather than aspects of the language itself. For example, a study by Nielsen and Hay (2005) invited University students to rate their perceptions of New Zealand English in different regions according to its ‘pleasantness' and 'correctness' and to annotate a map of New Zealand with comments about speech in different regions. Although regions were rated differently, the ratings appeared to be based on stereotypes of the regions in question, rather than on any identifiable linguistic differences. People tended to rate their own region more highly for pleasantness and correctness and notes on the map mainly consisted of stereotypical descriptions such as ‘official’ for Wellington and ‘farmer speech’ for Taranaki. This inability to identify specific linguistic features that differ from one geographical area to the next stands in contrast to New Zealanders’ awareness of a ‘rolled’, or rather postvocalic /r/, in Southland.

    Lecturer PhD Petronela SCUTARIU “Ștefan cel Mare” University of Suceava, Faculty of Law and Administration Sciences, Suceava, Romania [email protected] Student Liviu Otniel FEDUR “Ștefan cel Mare” University of Suceava, Faculty of Law and Administration Sciences, Suceava, Romania Android Developer, Protovate LLC, Hickory, North Carolina, USA Director, Livtech Soft SRL, Suceava, Romania [email protected] Abstract: The parallel examination of different states with their government systems is, was and will always be a necessary inurement for their in-depth knowledge and for the discovery of generalized orientations and developments. Regarding this affirmation, in the present article we intend to analyze from a comparative perspective two administrative systems, one from New Zealand and the other from South Africa, to identify the particularities in their organization and the way of functioning and to determine the similarities and differences between them. This research begins with the presentation of main identification data of the states, namely etymological explanations, continuing with the geographical locations and ending with the national emblems and flags. Afterwards, the present study provides insights into the genesis of the mentioned states, presenting brief historical records of how they appeared and developed. According to administrative-territorial organization criteria, New Zealand is divided into non-unitary and unitary regions, containing a territory as well, while South Africa is divided into provinces which, in turn, are divided into districts that are subdivided into local municipalities. From the point of view of the form of government, New Zealand is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy, while South Africa is a unitary parliamentary republic with an executive presidency.

    Chapter 36D. South Pacific Ocean Contributors: Karen Evans (lead author), Nic Bax (convener), Patricio Bernal (Lead member), Marilú Bouchon Corrales, Martin Cryer, Günter Försterra, Carlos F. Gaymer, Vreni Häussermann, and Jake Rice (Co-Lead member and Editor Part VI Biodiversity) 1. Introduction The Pacific Ocean is the Earth’s largest ocean, covering one-third of the world’s surface. This huge expanse of ocean supports the most extensive and diverse coral reefs in the world (Burke et al., 2011), the largest commercial fishery (FAO, 2014), the most and deepest oceanic trenches (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans, available at www.gebco.net), the largest upwelling system (Spalding et al., 2012), the healthiest and, in some cases, largest remaining populations of many globally rare and threatened species, including marine mammals, seabirds and marine reptiles (Tittensor et al., 2010). The South Pacific Ocean surrounds and is bordered by 23 countries and territories (for the purpose of this chapter, countries west of Papua New Guinea are not considered to be part of the South Pacific), which range in size from small atolls (e.g., Nauru) to continents (South America, Australia). Associated populations of each of the countries and territories range from less than 10,000 (Tokelau, Nauru, Tuvalu) to nearly 30.5 million (Peru; Population Estimates and Projections, World Bank Group, accessed at http://data.worldbank.org/data-catalog/population-projection-tables, August 2014). Most of the tropical and sub-tropical western and central South Pacific Ocean is contained within exclusive economic zones (EEZs), whereas vast expanses of temperate waters are associated with high seas areas (Figure 1).

Survey evidence from Aotearoa New Zealand. Water Alternatives 13(2): 302-323 Does Collaborative Governance Increase Public Confidence in Water Management? Survey Evidence from Aotearoa New Zealand Marc Tadaki Cawthron Institute, Nelson, New Zealand; [email protected] Jim Sinner Cawthron Institute, Nelson, New Zealand; [email protected] Philip Stahlmann-Brown Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research, Wellington, New Zealand; [email protected] Suzie Greenhalgh Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research, Auckland, New Zealand; [email protected] ABSTRACT: Collaborative decision-making is widely understood as a democratic corrective to top-down forms of environmental management; it is a way in which citizens can contribute local knowledge to the policy process and have a more direct role in shaping policies and rules that affect them and their environments. However, while the democratic virtues of collaborative governance are often asserted, they are rarely evidenced; this leaves claims of democratic empowerment open to question. This study used a longitudinal survey of three New Zealand regions (n = 1350) to identify whether major multi-year investments in collaborative decision-making (2012-2018) are leading to increased public confidence in the effectiveness, responsiveness and fairness of water management institutions. Residents in collaborative catchments were found to have scores that were statistically indistinguishable from residents of non-collaborative catchments on management effectiveness, perceived agreement about water management, and fairness. Collaborative catchment residents did assign higher scores for water management responsiveness than did other residents, but the size of this difference was small compared to the effects of gender, ethnicity, region and level of individuals’ prior engagement in water management.

  • Water Quality in New Zealand's Planted Forests: a Review
    Baillie and Neary New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science (2015) 45:7 DOI 10.1186/s40490-015-0040-0 REVIEW Open Access Water quality in New Zealand’s planted forests: a review Brenda R Baillie1* and Daniel G Neary2 Abstract This paper reviewed the key physical, chemical and biological water quality attributes of surface waters in New Zealand’s planted forests. The purpose was to: a) assess the changes in water quality throughout the planted forestry cycle from afforestation through to harvesting; b) compare water quality from planted forests with other land uses in New Zealand; and c) identify knowledge gaps and opportunities for future research. Afforestation of pasture land significantly improved a wide range of water quality attributes such as stream temperature, nutrient and sediment concentrations and microbial contamination within 4-6 years of planting. Water quality in mid-rotation to mature forests, a large proportion of the forestry cycle, was highly variable but characterised by cool water temperatures, low concentrations of sediment and nutrients, with aquatic invertebrate communities indicative of high water quality. Impacts of timber harvesting on water quality attributes were greatest when clear-cut harvesting up to the stream edge. Harvest impacts were mediated by the retention of intact riparian buffers and to a lesser extent by retention of moderate quantities of logging slash across small stream channels. Temporal and spatial factors influenced the magnitude of response to harvesting activities and duration of the recovery period. Land-use comparisons generally showed improving water quality from pasture to planted forest to indigenous forest. Continued research to identify management systems that mitigate impacts on water quality, particularly during harvesting, remains a priority.

Ryan ([email protected]) Abstract: This paper presents the current state-of-knowledge of the Aotearoa New Zealand (Aotearoa) last interglacial (MIS 5 sensu lato) sea-level record compiled within the framework of the World Atlas of Last Interglacial Shorelines (WALIS) 15 database. Seventy-seven total relative sea-level (RSL) indicators (direct, marine-, and terrestrial-limiting points), commonly in association with marine terraces, were identified from over 120 studies reviewed. Extensive coastal deformation around New Zealand has prompted research focused on active tectonics, which requires less precision than sea-level reconstruction. The range of last interglacial paleo-shoreline elevations are resulted in a significant range of elevation measurements on both the North Island (276.8 ± 10.0 to -94.2 ± 10.6 m amsl) and South Island (173.1165.8 ± 2.0 to -70.0 ± 10.3 m amsl) and 20 prompted the use of RSL indicators tohave been used to estimate rates of vertical land movement; however, indicators in many instances lackk adequate description and age constraint for high-quality RSL indicators.
