Implementing environmental technologies in development situations
Marginalité, adaptation et agriculture dans les hautes terres de Nouvelle-Zélande
La population des espaces montagnards néo-zélandais est dispersée, et les impacts directs des catastrophes, dans ces régions, touchent principalement les communautés agricoles et les réseaux de communication. Soumis aux séismes (principalement dans les Alpes du Sud) et aux éruptions volcaniques (sur le plateau central de l’Île du Nord), les espaces montagnards de Nouvelle-Zélande sont plus généralement enclins à des problèmes d’érosion et de glis…
Marginality, adaptation and farming in the New Zealand high country
New Zealand’s mountain areas are sparsely populated, and the direct impact of disasters in these areas is largely on agricultural communities and communication networks. Subject to earthquakes (mainly in the Southern Alps) and volcanic eruptions (on the Central Plateau of North Island) New Zealand’s mountain areas are more generally subject to problems of erosion and land slips and in the south, irregular, extreme snow falls. The impact of except…
Paradox and potential
Over the last 30 years, Canada and New Zealand have redirected their science and research systems to meet changing national priorities, and in response to global trends and needs. They have shared a common effort to transform their traditionally resource-based economies. Both are committed to the creation of knowledge-based economies that can compete internationally in the face of massive globalization and the rise of the BRIC nations (Brazil, Ru…
Social impact of the 2004 Manawatu floods and the 'hollowing out' of rural New Zealand
The Manawatu floods of 2004 have had significant, long-lasting social consequences. This paper draws on findings from a series of detailed surveys of 39 farm households directly affected by the floods and 17 individuals directly involved in managing the flood recovery programme. The nature of the impact on rural families highlights how the 'hollowing out' of rural New Zealand has changed the capacity of rural communities to respond to natural haz…
Indigenous Environmental Decision Making in New Zealand
Improving utilisation of Māori land
The limited impact of traditional extension techniques has resulted in the increasing use of participatory approaches to support interaction between Māori communities and scientists. This paper draws on the experience of a 5 year case study of such an approach among scientists and Māori on the East Cape. While supporting the value of a participatory approach, the paper argues that the adoption and use of such an approach must be viewed as an iter…

Revolution or evolution? New Zealand agriculture since 1984
Industrial Sociology in Africa
How sensibly can one talk of industrial sociology in a non-industrial continent? Industrial sociology has been called the 'special' sociology whose task should be to carry through scientifically the analyses of the social relationships and interactions present within the industrial organisation in all its theoretical depth and breadth.1 Raif Dahrendorf, for instance, in Industrie und Betriebssoziologie (Berlin, 1962), whilst accepting industrial …
