Rights of Public Access in New Zealand
The New Zealand government has initiated new policy for the public's rights of access to land, and the foreshore in particular. Despite this policy activity, little is known about the public's views on their access rights. A survey of 300 Christchurch residents examined respondents’ use of, and need for, access to the foreshore, their knowledge of foreshore access rights, and opinions about selected access policy proposals. Results show that resp…
The New Zealand People–Park Relationship
Relationships between protected natural areas and the people who live in and adjacent to them have become an important area of inquiry following the expansion of protected areas worldwide and a recent focus on the social outcomes of conservation. Despite this focus, there is a dearth of theory on people–park relationships in the literature. This article helps to address this shortcoming through a review of recent research into people–park relatio…
Love Thy Neighbour? The Relationship Between Kahurangi National Park and the Border Communities of Karamea and Golden Bay, New Zealand
The establishment of national parks can generate significant changes for the people living in and around these protected areas. This paper describes a qualitative study that investigated the nature of the people-park relationship for two rural New Zealand communities: Golden Bay and Karamea, near Kahurangi National Park. Data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 20 Karamea residents and 21 Golden Bay residents. Three d…
Ecotourism Issues and Options for New Zealand
Natural sites are key attractions for tourists in New Zealand. Soaring international visitor arrivals and strong growth in domestic tourism is placing increasing pressure on many New Zealand nature-based tourism sites. A rapidly growing number of businesses advertise their activities to tourists as 'ecotourism' but the term suffers from ambiguity and lacks ownership. This paper reports ideas from a New Zealand workshop comprising representatives …
Managing Recreation and Tourism in New Zealand Mountains
New Zealand is a very mountainous country with sparsely populated mountain lands. While large tracts are held in private ownership and used in pastoral production, the majority is state owned. New Zealand's protected natural area system encompasses the Southern Alps/Ka Tiritiri o te Moana and the North Island peaks, with the highest mountains in the country within Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, a World Heritage Site. Thirty percent of New Zeala…
Ecological and human dimensions of tourism‐related wildlife disturbance
Uncontrolled growth in wildlife‐viewing tourism has the potential to have unacceptable impacts on wildlife populations. The problem is complex because (1) quantifying impacts is technically difficult, and (2) assessing the ‘acceptability’ of such impacts is inherendy subjective. This paper reports the findings of a three‐stage case study of wildlife‐viewing of die white heron (Egretta alba modesta) colony at Waitangiroto Nature Reserve, New Zeala…
