Dominant thinking in Pacific population research is clearly that which also prevails in the subfield of population geography. Empiricist analyses that reflect dualistic thinking on place and culture gloss over the culturally- rooted experiences of island women in particular and islanders in general. Informed by Samoan cultural thinking, I argue that alternative ways of understanding work and movement would help population geographers better comprehend the dynamics of these processes in reciprocity-based societies. The central question in this study is: how do women from reciprocity-based societies in general conceive of their work and movement? The desire behind this question is to address meanings that are marginalized, overlooked, and ignored in population-related scholarship. Drawing parallels with humanist and feminist approaches in geography, this study examines the cultural meanings and experiences that constitute the lived experiences of Teine uli. Appreciating experiences as complex and flexible, a multi- method approach is used to integrate standard techniques in population enquiry (field census, life history matrix) and ethnographic insights (participant observation, indepth interviews, personal stories). Adopting a range of methods in the field, in Samoa and in Auckland, New Zealand, enhances the capacity to provide new insights in the analysis of work and movement. vii In and of itself, the multimethod approach does not inevitably provide new ways of thinking about these processes. This dissertation takes aiga (family) as the intellectual and philosophical point of reference. Within this are embedded the concepts of va fealoaloa’i (social space between people) and fa’alavelave (family and cultural events), because they incorporate the sociocultural, spatial, and economic meanings of work and movement valued in reciprocity-based places. It argues for a more radical, deliberate, and genuine shift of scholarly thinking about the cultural world of island women as a way to broaden our search for knowledge and for a more sensitive kind of population geography. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Acknowledgment ……………………………………………………………. iv Abstract ………………………………………………………………………… vii List of Maps …………………………………………………………………… xii List of Figures ………………………………………………………………….. xiii List of Tables …………………………………………………………………… xiv Glossary of Samoan Words …………………………………………………….. xv Chapter 1 RETHINKING WORK AND MOVEMENT IN THE PACIFIC …. 1 Research questions and frame …………………………………………………… 1 Charting alternative routes: meanings and histories ……………………………. 6 Tama uli and Teine uli: shadows in the background ……………………………… 9 Tama uli and Teine uli of post-independence Samoa ……………………………. 21 The current study: journeys beyond the plantation ………………………………. 30 Outline of chapters ………………………………………………………………. 37 Chapter 2 WEAVING PERSPECTIVES ON WOMEN’S WORK AND MOVEMENT ................................................................................ 40 Beginning the ‘weaving’ process: working with missing links …………………… 41 Identifying my ‘weaving’ pattern: humanist and feminist parallels ……………… 43 Working with terms ……………………………………………………………….. 44 ‘Weaving’ in progress: gaps and links ……………………………………………. 45 Missing women, migration and population geography …………………… 45 Missing women and migration in the Pacific …………………………….. 48 Missing women and colonial history …………………………………….. 54 Missing ‘working’ women ………………………………………………… 58 Methodological conjunctions of feminist and humanist approaches …………….. 61 Conclusion ……………………………………………………………………….. 67 Chapter 3 ‘AIGA AS CONTEXT: AN ALTERNATIVE FRAMEWORK FOR WORK AND MOVEMENT ……………………………….. 69 Tino o le ‘aiga: defining the Samoan self …………………………………………. 70 Fa’asamoa and fa’asinomaga (identity) ……………………...…………………… 73 Va fealoaloa’i : centrality of relationships …………….………………….. 75 Misconceptions of ‘aiga ………………………………………………….. 79 Change and continuity …………………………………………………………….. 82 Placing movement in ‘aiga ……………………………………………………….. 86 Fa’alavelave: the hub of movement ………………...……………………. 87 Conclusion ………………………………………………………………………… 96 ix Chpater 4 EXPERIENCING THE ‘FIELD’: WANDERING A SLIPPERY PATH TO KNOWLEDGE ………………………………………... 98 Situating myself ………………………………………………………………… 100 Archival ‘wanderings’: attempting to trace roots ………………………………….. 106 ‘Wanderings’ for appropriate concepts …………………………………………… 108 Field census: counting ‘aiga ………………………………………………………. 110 Census information analysis ……………………………………………… 112 ‘Wanderings’ through the unexpected …………………………………………. 115 ‘Wanderings’ through words, stories and meanings ………………………………. 117 Doing interviews …………………………………………………………. 119 Analysis of interview

    Community Integrated Management Plan Faleata East - Upolu Implementation Guidelines 2018 COMMUNITY INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES Foreword It is with great pleasure that I present the new Community Integrated Management (CIM) Plans, formerly known as Coastal Infrastructure Management (CIM) Plans. The revised CIM Plans recognizes the change in approach since the first set of fifteen CIM Plans were developed from 2002-2003 under the World Bank funded Infrastructure Asset Management Project (IAMP) , and from 2004-2007 for the remaining 26 districts, under the Samoa Infrastructure Asset Management (SIAM) Project. With a broader geographic scope well beyond the coastal environment, the revised CIM Plans now cover all areas from the ridge-to-reef, and includes the thematic areas of not only infrastructure, but also the environment and biological resources, as well as livelihood sources and governance. The CIM Strategy, from which the CIM Plans were derived from, was revised in August 2015 to reflect the new expanded approach and it emphasizes the whole of government approach for planning and implementation, taking into consideration an integrated ecosystem based adaptation approach and the ridge to reef concept. The timeframe for implementation and review has also expanded from five years to ten years as most of the solutions proposed in the CIM Plan may take several years to realize. The CIM Plans is envisaged as the blueprint for climate change interventions across all development sectors – reflecting the programmatic approach to climate resilience adaptation taken by the Government of Samoa. The proposed interventions outlined in the CIM Plans are also linked to the Strategy for the Development of Samoa 2016/17 – 2019/20 and the relevant ministry sector plans.

It provides a snapshot of the information collected from the Population Questionnaire and some highlights of the Housing Questionnaire. It also provides the final count of the population of Samoa in November 7th 2016 by statistical regions, political districts and villages. Over the past censuses, the Samoa Bureau of Statistics has compiled a standard analytical report that users and mainly students find it complex and too technical for their purposes. We have changed our approach in the 2016 census by compiling smaller reports (Census Brief reports) to be released on a quarterly basis with emphasis on different areas of Samoa’s development as well as demands from users. In doing that, we look forward to working more collaboratively with our stakeholders and technical partners in compiling relevant, focused and more user friendly statistical brief reports for planning, policy-making and program interventions. At the same time, the Bureau is giving the public the opportunity to select their own data of interest from the census database for printing rather than the Bureau printing numerous tabulations which mostly remain unused.
