X Takeyuki Morita iv Ethics Approval Since structured survey was conducted in this research, ethical approval was required from AUT Ethics Committee (AUTEC). Approval was received by the Auckland University of Technology Ethics Committee on 24 April 2013 with AUTEC Reference number 13/57. v Acknowledgements This project work has been carried out to meet the academic requirements of Auckland University of Technology for the completion of Master of Tourism Studies. I would like to put on record, my appreciation and gratitude to all who have rendered their support and input. Without them, it would not have been possible for me to shape this study. First of all, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my supervisor, Dr. Charles Johnston and for his intelligence, continuous guidance and support for the project. Without his clear advice, provocative suggestions, uninterrupted encouragement and patience, I would not have been able to complete such an ambitious, complex and challenging project. Furthermore, I would like to thank Dr. Jane Legget for introducing me to the field of heritage tourism as well as for offering the chance for me to conduct a Student Summership research, where I developed skills regarding survey data collection, quantitative data analysis and journal writing. This knowledge greatly contributed to the development of my research project. I also would like to thank Dr. Hamish Brenner for advice in relation to the formal procedures regarding my research. His reassurance amplified my energy to overcome difficulties faced completing the project. Also, I would like to thank the participants in my survey, who have willingly shared their precious time during lengthy interviews. It was great to meet many nice people who wished me success in my studies, even though they have never met me before. I would like to offer a special thank you to my friends Allen Tracy Reynolds, Mark Kaneko and Satoko Kaneko for their wonderful support and advice. The knowledge of English writing and referencing you offered me is much appreciated. I am also grateful for your encouragement and positive feedback. vi I also would like to give my appreciation to Annie McConnochie for proofreading my thesis. I was very lucky to have such a skilful, intelligent, considerate, passionate and caring proof reader. It was very enjoyable to explain and discuss the project topic with you. I will always remember the help you gave me. I wish to thank all my family: My dearest love Keiko Morita, my cutest girl Shona Morita, my parents Takenori Morita and Yoko Morita, my parents-in-law Yuji Onishi and Kyoko Onishi. Shona, you are always such a cutey and helped me stay refreshed and encouraged me to face my challenges. Keiko, my dearest wife, I cannot express adequately how much I love you and appreciate your support. It has been a difficult time but you always provided undivided support to me without any complaint. Without your support, this project could not have been completed. Last but not the least, I want to thank my friends who helped motivate me, particularly my fellow Shorinji Kempo martial artists. I will always remember and appreciate the many great people who supported me in completing this project. vii Abbreviations AUT Auckland University of Technology BOI Bay of Islands DD Doing the Destination DDM Destination Decision Making DM Decision Making DOC Department of Conservation ICOMOS

  • Mission Film Script-Word
    A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the research requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Creative Writing. 8 November 2002, revised April 2016 Sophia (Sophie) Charlotte Rose Jerram PO Box 11 517 Wellington New Zealand i 1 Mission Notes on storv and location This film is set in two locations and in two time zones. It tells a story concerning inter-racial, same-sex love, and the control of imagemaking. A. The past story, 1828-1836 is loosely based on the true story of New Zealand Missionary William Yate and his lover, Eruera Pare Hongi. It is mostly set in Northland, New Zealand, and focuses on the inland Waimate North Mission and surrounding Maori settlement. B. The present day story is a fictional account of Riki Te Awata and an English Photographer, Jeffrey Edison. It is mostly set in the community around a coastal marae and a derelict Southern Mission.1 Sophie Jerram November 2002 1 Unlike the Waimate Mission, this ‘Southern Mission’ is fictional. It was originally intended to be the Puriri mission, at the base of the Coromandel Peninsular, established by William Yate in 1834. Since the coastal mission I have set the film in is nothing like Puriri I have dropped the name. i EXT. PORT JACKSON 1836, DAY A painted image (of the John Gully School) of the historical port of Sydney fills the entire screen. It depicts a number of ships: whaling, convict and trade vessels. The land is busy with diverse groups of people conducting business: traders, convicts, prostitutes, clergymen.
