Welcome

President’s Message

On behalf of the New Zealand Geographical Society I welcome all participants to this year's conference. Our biennial conferences, along with our journal the New Zealand Geographer, constitute our traditional core activities nationally. Although the Society is poised to change some of the ways we work, our conferences remain the key means for us to get together, hear about each other's research and enjoy some good social time. We are particularly excited with this conference as it is the first one, to my knowledge, to be held outside of a main university

centre. As academic geographers, we tend to forget that geography is practiced throughout the country, such as in our schools and our local councils. So this taking of our conference outside the main university towns gives us the opportunity to connect with geographers more widely and also see how geography is practiced on an everyday basis in many different parts of the country. The conference theme of 'Connecting Landscapes' is thus particularly significant given this new setting for our conference. I would like to thank the Manawatu Branch of the Society, and Matthew Henry and Mike Roche in particular, for taking on the organising of this conference. Conference organising is usually a thankless and arduous task and we all appreciate the hard work of the branch in making this conference and the new venue possible. John Overton President, NZGS

Connecting Landscapes

The Manawatu Branch Organising Committee of the New Zealand Geographical Society welcomes delegates to the 26th New Zealand Geography Conference. This conference breaks new ground in that for the first time, apart from offshore joint meetings with the Institute of Australian Geographers, we are basing the event outside the usual circuit of university cities. We are also meeting later in the year than the usual July time slot. While there are some risks associated in departing from the normal schedule, there are

also new possibilities to be gained from such a move, namely that it not only takes geographers to a new locale but it also provides a means for the geographical community to make itself visible to a new regional audience. This is the fifth New Zealand Geography Society conference that the Manawatu Branch has hosted; astute attendees will have realized that this meeting takes place ahead of our normal place in the schedule. By coincidence it does, now correspond with the 50th anniversary of the branch, Manawatu having been raised from sub-branch status after its organisation of the 1961 conference. That 1961 conference was notable for Professor Keith Buchanan‟s controversial presidential address „East Wind-West Wind‟. Our 2012 conference theme is „Connecting Landscapes‟ and we have endeavoured to set the scene in our choice of four key note speakers who include Prof David Johnston (Director of the Joint Centre for Disaster Research, Massey University- GNS Science), Prof Phillip O‟Neill (Director of the Centre for Urban Research, University of Western Sydney), Dr Juliana Mansvelt (Geography Programme, School of People Environment and Planning, Massey University) and Professor Hugh Campbell (Department of Sociology, Gender and Social Work, University of Otago). The 2012 conference is also notable for the New Zealand Geographical Society AGM coinciding with the duration of the conference and as part of this society president, Professor John Overton (Victoria University), will deliver a Presidential Address. The Presidential Address has tended to fall by the wayside at recent conferences; on this occasion it is reinstated with particular purpose and Professor Overton will be unveiling some major proposals for restructuring of the New Zealand Geographical Society. I would also like to acknowledge conference sponsors: Wiley-Blackwell Royal Society of New Zealand for their support of two postgraduate presentation prizes Vice Chancellor‟s Office, Massey University Pro Vice Chancellor College of Social Science, Massey University School of People Environment and Planning, Massey University We look forward to your presence at a successful conference. Michael Roche Chairperson Manawatu Branch of the New Zealand Geographical Society

Hawke's Bay Wine The New Zealand wine industry has attracted some scholarly attention from New Zealand geographers. On this fieldtrip you will be guided by academic geographers through a visit to the world-renown Gimblett Gravels region of Hawkes Bay (the first wine „appellation‟ in the world defined solely on the basis of soil) and then visit two very different award-wining Hawkes bay wineries - Clearview Estate and Craggy Range. There will be a tour and an opportunity for a tasting at each of these wineries (price included in the cost). Please assemble at 12.30 pm outside the Conference Centre. The fieldtrip will be back at the venue by 5pm.

Napier Art Deco Tour The Art Deco Tour is a must for visitors to Napier. The tour starts with a 30 minute visual presentation followed by a 90 minute walking/guided tour of Napier. Discover the history behind the buildings and enjoy the unique architectural features that make Napier famous throughout the world.

Please assemble at 1.15pm outside the Conference Centre.

Hawkes Bay Regional This trip will examine some notable features of the physical geography of the Hawkes Bay, stopping at the key coastal site of Waimarama and carrying on to view some unusual large scale landslide features. Please assemble outside the Conference Centre at 1pm. The fieldtrip will end back at the venue by 5pm.

Professor David Johnston (Massey University - GNS

Science) Developing an effective community response to the next "Great East Coast Subduction Zone Earthquake and Tsunami” Authors: David Johnston, Graham Leonard, Wendy Saunders and Stuart Fraser, based at the Joint Centre for Disaster Research, Massey University – GNS Science, Wellington

Recent events, such as those in the Indian Ocean (2004) and Japan (2011), have focussed attention on mega-tsunami generated by subduction zone earthquakes. Within the New Zealand scientific and emergency management communities, increased focus is being directed at the risk from such a tsunami generated at the Hikurangi subduction margin, off the east coast of the North Island. Many local emergency management agencies are reviewing their existing arrangements based on observations from Japan. This talk will review our current knowledge of the risk, risk perception and preparedness for a local mega-tsunami in New Zealand and discusses future directions for risk reduction Tsunami awareness in New Zealand has evolved over the last 50 years since the 1960 Chilean tsunami, which struck New Zealand without official warning and caused significant damage, despite occurring at low tide. From 1960 to 2004 various measures were put in place, which led to improvements in official warning mechanisms, but in surveys public understanding of risk and correct warning-response action was shown to be limited. Following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami the New Zealand government initiated an extensive review of risk and preparedness, which ranked tsunami risk to property potentially on par with that of earthquake and risk to life an order of magnitude greater. Much of our hazard understanding remains uncertain, but significant tsunami events cannot currently be ruled out on any subduction zone longer than 300 km. Our knowledge of risk reduction options is leading to innovative policy and practice but much still remains to be done to reduce the risk to a future "Great East Coast Subduction Zone Earthquake and Tsunami".

David Johnston is a Senior Scientist at GNS Science and Director of the Joint Centre for Disaster Research in the School of Psychology at Massey University, Wellington. His research has developed as part of multi-disciplinary theoretical and applied research programme, involving the collaboration of physical and social scientists from several organisations and countries. His research focuses on human responses to volcano, tsunami and weather warnings, crisis decision-making and the role of public education and participation in building community resilience and recovery. David is a member of the Scientific Committee for the Joint International Council for Science (ICSU) and the International Social Science Council (ISSC) Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR); the Royal Society Social Science Advisory Panel; the Editor of The Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies; Editor of the Journal of Applied Volcanology; and Deputy Editor of International Journal of Disasters and Mass Emergencies.

Professor Phillip O’Neill (University of Western Sydney) From Adam Smith to structured investment vehicles: why infrastructure consistently fails to perform as a public good. Urban infrastructure worldwide is seen to be in crisis. As the post-war state retreats, not only is private sector involvement rising but it is increasingly accepted politically. Yet there is concern that this involvement produces a distorted economy, neither socially or

environmentally fair nor sustainable. My argument is that this unsatisfactory outcome arises not only because the interests of capital have renewed power in the urban economy but because there is a failure of critical analysis in the social sciences both in conceptualising urban infrastructure and imagining what it could be. Ironically, those who financialise urban infrastructure seem to understand better its role as a privileged passageway that generates spatialised flows and sequences. The failure to grasp the unique spatial elements of infrastructure underpins the left‟s failure to articulate a successful argument for the enhancement of infrastructure‟s public goods character. The paper provides elements of what geography can bring to a better understanding of urban infrastructure. The paper includes examples of major greenfields and brownfields investments including a series of disastrous Australian road toll investments and the privatisation of Auckland airport. Phillip O’Neill is Professor of Economic Geography and Professorial Fellow at the Urban Research Centre at the University of Western Sydney, having previously been Foundation Director of the Centre since its establishment in 2006. Prior to the University of Western Sydney, Phillip was Director of the Centre of Urban and Regional Studies at the University of Newcastle. He has held visiting fellowships at the Universities of Bristol, Massachusetts, NUS in Singapore and more recently at Oxford. Phillip O‟Neill plays a major role in policy development in Sydney especially around jobs deficits and infrastructure provision. He is also a fortnightly opinion writer for the Fairfax press. Phillip‟s current infrastructure research is funded by two Australian Research Council Discovery Grants titled “Developing criteria to help solve Australia‟s urban infrastructure crisis” and “Tracing modes of infrastructure financing and their effects on cities”. Besides his academic publications he has written a number of key reports on economic conditions in Western Sydney. These include studies of mortgage distress, Sydney‟s food supply chain, the condition of Sydney‟s farmlands, the nature and extent of the Western Sydney Arabic-Lebanese business community, the Penrith Economic Corridor, and a landmark study of employment pathways for Western Sydney over the next 25 years. Phillip‟s current research is funded by the Australian Research Council and involves an examination of Australia‟s clumsy approach to urban infrastructure over the past three decades.

Dr Juliana Mansvelt (Massey University) Sparky geographies: finding the engaging in the mundane? A paper by Ian Cook and his colleagues1 on "Defetishising commodities" examines the relationships between research, writing, teaching, learning and assessment and argues for more radical and 'sparky geographies‟.

However Cook leaves open how such geographies might be constituted and the means by which geographers might make connections with the audiences for their work and the people whose lives they are trying to understand. Consequently, the concept of 'sparky geographies' raises the spectre of the art and craft of the geographer, and the ways in which the mundane practice might become the basis for geographies which enliven and challenge taken for granted ways of seeing, thinking and doing. Reflecting on research and teaching around ageing and consumption I consider the ways in which 'sparky geographies' might be practiced and performed, discussing the challenges and possibilities of the concept for a more engaged and engaging geography. Juliana Mansvelt graduated BA (Hons) from Massey University and completed her PhD at Sheffield. Since returning to Massey geography she has made a distinctive and significant contribution in both the areas of teaching and research. This has included lengthy stint teaching in Research Practice in Human Geography to graduating students, during which time she developed a strong interest in qualitative methodologies. More recently she commenced an innovative course on Geographies of Globalisation and at the post graduate level on Consumption and Place. She was an early adopter of WebCT and more recently Stream technologies as part of her internal and distance teaching. Her teaching has been recognised nationally through the award of a New Zealand Tertiary Teaching Award. Her research initially centred around local economic development and leisure, but has in recent years has expanded to include externally funded studies of online teaching, work on aging, and, most innovatively, research into the emerging field of consumption studies, consolidated in her well received book Geographies of Consumption. She remains one of the select group of New Zealand geographers to contribute progress reports to Progress in Human Geography.

Professor Hugh Campbell (University of Otago)

Food from Somewhere in the Landscape of Anywhere: Elaborating the Greening Trajectory in NZ Agriculture.

In this address I will consider the transformation of food production in NZ since the period of neoliberal reform in the mid-1980s. Some agri-export industries in New Zealand have become enthusiastic participants in what I term the „Food from Somewhere‟

Regime, establishing new measures of quality like certified organic, GLOBAL G.A.P. or other industry-specific eco-labeling schemes. This stands in strong contrast to the wider, global corporate industrial elaboration of „landscapes of anywhere‟ where mass produced commodities enter endlessly substitutable supply chains to feed mass markets. In the last 15 years, food export industries in NZ have made a significant transition from almost total absence of any eco-labeling or measures relating to claims of environmental qualities to a situation where there is now near mandatory requirement for compliance in some export industries, and the establishment of eco-label or environmental QA schemes that are now incorporating increasingly larger segments of meat production. These schemes produce a set of claims to authenticity and sustainability that characterize the „Food from Somewhere Regime‟ and NZ farms and orchards have become key sites for the generation and elaboration of „Food from Somewhere‟ claims.

The ARGOS project was established in 2003 and involves a longitudinal study of 100+ farms and orchards in the Sheep/Beef, Dairy and Kiwifruit sectors in NZ designed specifically to examine the effects of taking the market audit pathway to sustainability. Preliminary results reviewed in this address suggest that eco-labels do translate into demarcating different bodies of social practice and environmental outcomes on farms and orchards and that the „Food from Somewhere Regime‟ is opening up space for some challenging new dynamics. New audits, eco-labels and QA systems, and the elite retailers they serve, are connecting New Zealand‟s agri-food landscapes to world markets in ways which are reconfiguring industries and changing the ways in which we produce food. Above all, it is contributing to creating alternative pathways to New Zealand being absorbed into the corporate, industrial „landscapes of anywhere‟.

Hugh Campbell is Chair of Sociology and Head of the Department of Sociology, Gender & Social Work at the University of Otago. He was the foundation Director of the Centre for the Study of Agriculture, Food and Environment (2000 to 2010). He comes from the Waikato, with family in Hawkes Bay sheep farming and Taranaki dairying. A long-term interest in issues involving agriculture and food has stayed with him in his subsequent career as a social scientist. He took his Ph.D. in Rural Sociology at Charles Sturt University. Programme Leader of an MSI-funded programme, Greening Food: Social and Industry Dynamics (1995-2002) he since 2003, has co-led the social research objective in the MSI-funded Agriculture Research Group on Sustainability (ARGOS) Programme. He is now a PI in the Marsden funded Biological Economies Project.
