Revealing the local geospatial knowledge base of oyster fishing at Bluff, New Zealand

Knight, Peter; Hall, G Brent; Hankey, Nick; Moore, Antoni (Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)

This presentation discusses and demonstrates ways in which modern technology, specifically Web-based GIS (augmented by low-tech data gathering strategies), and a web page based on local meetings of fishermen and other ...
The space-time representation of complex transportation networks

Chew, C Y; Chong, Albert K; Moore, Antoni (Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)

The complexity of land transportation systems nowadays requires an appropriate way of modelling and representing its related transportation features for ease of storage, retrieval, analysis and decision making. Transportation ...
Power and persuasion: GIS as a tool to combat inequality; injustice and environmental destruction in the Bluff oyster fishery

Knight, Peter (Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)

Science has provided marvellous descriptions of the Foveaux Strait and of the creatures and ecosystems that it contains, but this has not been enough to prevent a tragedy in Bluff. The tragedy is the loss of the Bluff ...
