Waimea's Heritage Landscape: Using Gis to Communicate Change WAIMEA’S HERITAGE LANDSCAPE: USING GIS TO COMMUNICATE CHANGE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF A CULTURAL LANDSCAPE IN SOUTH KOHALA, HAWAIʻI A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIʻI AT HILO IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HERITAGE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY JUNE 2018 By Samuel Plunkett Jr. Thesis Committee: Kathleen Kawelu, Chairperson Jack Rossen Momi Naughton UMI Number: Copyright 2018 Samuel Plunkett Jr. All rights reserved. ii Dedicated in loving memory to family whom passed during this academic journey, Gleni, Cooper, and Glory, And To the Future Heritage Managers of Pae ʻĀina Hawaiʻi – Preserve Heritage by Protecting Hope iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: THESIS COMMITTEE: Kathleen Kawelu Jack Rossen Momi Eileen Naughton PAST INSTRUCTORS: Kalani Meineike Emalia Keahokalole Kekuewa Kikiloi Kelley Uyeoka EXPERT AND COMMUNITY COLLABORATORS Pomai Bertlemen Roland Reeves Keomailani Case Rick Gmirkin Charlie Kimura Lisa Marrack Gary Rapozo Chad Wiggins Kalani Flores OTHER ADVISORS Peter Mills Joseph Genz FOR KINDNESS AND ENCOURAGEMENT: Kamana Beamer iv ABSTRACT Hawaiʻi County’s Land Use Pattern Allocation Guideline map (LUPAG) show an increase in lands being allocated for urban development in the South Kohala District of Hawaiʻi Island. Being that land allocations, and subsequent zoning is created by a combination of Hawaiʻi State Land Use designations, and the Hawaiʻi County General Plan, this thesis addresses preservation and restoration of a region’s natural and cultural resources, and sense of place from a planning approach. In order to incorporate both cultural and environmental resources into an integrated plan, that also accounts for community input, I combine a cultural landscape approach with geographic information systems (GIS) to produce a Heritage Landscape Resource Inventory Model. Through this model I spatially re-present Waimea Kālana, a traditional land unit that occupied most of modern day South Kohala. In re-presenting Waimea Kālana, a geographic and cultural baseline was created which challenges current perceptions of place in order to invite planning participants (community and governmental) to consider layers of landscape significance from an earlier point in time. This project argues that this geo-cultural baseline could be used by the Waimea community to raise its collective heritage awareness and participate in land-use planning. By re-presenting cultural landscape attributes of Waimea Kālana on a GIS format, this project will spatially model interconnections between a variety of resources, articulate its cultural and natural significance, and exemplify how a community might turn statements of significance into community derived land-use guidelines. In effect this model aims help a community preserve its sense of place and sustainably manage its cultural, and natural resources for their benefit, and for the benefit of the future generations of Waimea, South Kohala, Hawaiʻi. v CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: ............................................................................................................ iv ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................... v LIST OF TABLES ......................................................................................................................... ix LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................................ x PREFACE ..................................................................................................................................... xii CHAPTER 1.

The property owner intends to construct a single-family residence on the newly created parcel. The proposed development activities must be reviewed under County SMA rules and are subject to a 40 foot shoreline setback regulation. In their review of the SMA Assessment Application, DLNR-SHPD (DOC NO: 1404MV05) requested that an archaeological study of the property be conducted and that subsurface testing be a part of that study. The current archaeological study was undertaken in accordance with Hawai‘i Administrative Rules 13§13–284, and was performed in compliance with the Rules Governing Minimal Standards for Archaeological Inventory Surveys and Reports as contained in Hawai‘i Administrative Rules 13§13–276.

  • Sherwood R.H. Greenwell, Kealakekua Ranch, Hawai`I
    Sherwood R.H. Greenwell, Kealakekua Ranch, Hawai`i When Sherwood Greenwell took over Kealakekua Ranch in 1951, he was inheriting one piece of the sprawling cattle operation his grandfather had started a hundred years before. From 1938 when he came home from high school to 1989 when he sold the ranch, Sherwood was ensconced in Kealakekua. Over the years, he kept his eye on how the ranching industry was developing, always on the lookout for a new technique that would make the process better. One of the innovations was a cattle chute that became known around Kona for its efficiency. It contained a sump to collect and reuse the insecticide that was sprayed on the cattle, a branding table, a surgical chute and a scale to weigh the heifers. Maybe its best feature was its circular design. “As one animal goes in, the animal behind it only sees it go around a corner, so he follows,” he says. “It’s a great chute for getting animals to enter.” Sherwood has been recognized as an innovator – twice he was awarded Soil Conservation Rancher of the Year for his techniques, once for developing a pumping system that brought water up more than 6,000 feet from Kealakekua Bay, and again for developing a rotation grazing system that used pastures more efficiently. Paniolo Hall of Fame Oral History Interview With Sherwood Greenwell By Anna Ilima Loomis Aug. 10, 2003; Kealakekua, Hawaii G: We’re in the land of Kiilowaipunaula, which adjoins Kealakekua, which we can say is Kealakekua. It’s a part of the original purchase by my grandfather of the lands back in 1881.
