  • Martin, Peter (Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)
    This research was conceived to contribute to the theoretical foundations of a general view of the dynamics of the world based on a concept of spatial order, defined and quantified in terms of differences or gradients. The ...
  • Hall, C Michael (Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), CAUTHE 2004: Creating Tourism Knowledge, 2004)
    People may be significant vectors for vine diseases and pests. Yet despite the potential biosecurity risks of visitation few New Zealand wineries have biosecurity strategies in place. The paper therefore aims to examine ...
