TLDR
In this paper, the authors describe recent efforts to identify Maori values which are part of Maori traditional knowledge (maatauranga Maaori), and present a method and framework for incorporating these values into GIS tools.Abstract:
In New Zealand, geographic information systems (GIS) are becoming increasingly important in all areas of resource management and environmental planning. There is growing interest among the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, in the use of GIS to help them achieve some of their goals and aspirations. This article describes recent efforts to identify Maori values which are part of Maori traditional knowledge (maatauranga Maaori). It then presents a method and framework for incorporating these values into GIS tools.read more
