对景观的了解,以及Ngāi Tahu如何利用景观,有助于提供一个背景,在此背景下,研究Ngāi Tahu在资源管理方面的当代愿望。以怀塔基流域为案例研究,它描述了如何将来自各种来源的Ngāi Tahu历史编织在一起,以指导当代资源管理。然而,最大的挑战之一是确定适当的管理目标,特别是恢复目标。由于随后几十年的修改性质和程度,了解欧洲人定居时存在的遗址可能非常困难。要恢复退化地区,使之符合某些先前存在的条件,如欧洲人定居前的条件,这往往是恢复举措的目标,但除非有关于历史条件的数据,否则很难做到这一点。我们描述了如何拼凑的集水区内的活动的历史模式,并在改变它的力量,从而提供了一个框架,资源管理目标可以制定。
Knowledge of landscapes, and how landscapes were utilised by Ngāi Tahu, helps provide a context within which to examine the contemporary aspirations of Ngāi Tahu with respect to resource management. Using the Waitaki catchment as a case study, it describes how to weave together strands of Ngāi Tahu history from a variety of sources to guide contemporary resource management. One of the greatest challenges, however, is determining appropriate management goals and, in particular, restoration goals. Understanding sites as they existed at the time of European settlement can be extremely difficult due the nature and extent of modification in subsequent decades. Restoring a degraded area to match some pre-existing condition, such as pre-European settlement, which is often the goal of restoration initiatives, is difficult unless data on historic conditions are available. We describe how to piece together historic patterns of activity within the catchment, and the forces that have been instrumental in changing it, thus providing a framework upon which resource management goals can be developed.
