Challenges to Implementing Community Based Ecotourism (CBET) as a Bottom up Development Approach in the Sinharaja Rain Forest (Sri Lanka)
(University of Waikato, 2016)Community based ecotourism (CBET) is a well-established concept and its implementation has been an important component for many regional development strategies. This thesis argues that CBET originated as a Western concept, ... -
Determining Canopy Vigour in G3 Kiwifruit using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
(University of Waikato, 2017)Consumers are increasingly demanding that food producers justify their use of water, fertiliser and agrichemicals. Placing the right inputs, in the right place, at the right time, is sometimes called “Precision Agriculture”. ... -
Enhancing spatial resolution of remotely sensed data for mapping freshwater environments
(University of Waikato, 2011)Freshwater environments are important for ecosystem services and biodiversity. These environments are subject to many natural and anthropogenic changes, which influence their quality; therefore, regular monitoring is ... -
Evaluating web mapping applications for visualising demographic diversity
(University of Waikato, 2016)The use of maps on the World Wide Web is revolutionising how people access information. These web maps harness text, audio, video, animation, graphics and, most importantly, user interaction to improve the communication ... -
Investigating the impact of Tourism on forest cover in the Annapurna conservation area through Remote Sensing and Statistical Analysis
(University of Waikato, 2013)Tourism is Nepal’s largest industry giving people in rural areas an alternative to subsistence farming. Tourism can have an impact on the forest cover of a region as trees provide firewood for cooking and heating and timber ... -
Mapping vegetation with remote sensing and GIS data using object-based analysis and machine learning algorithms
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Remote sensing technology is an efficient tool for various practical applications of environmental resources management. Advances in this technology include the diverse range of high quality data sources and image analysis ... -
Natural Amenities and Age Related Population Change in New Zealand.
(University of Waikato, 2016)Modern day migration literature suggests that natural amenities play a significant role in attracting migrants and thereby influencing population change. Empirical studies however, often find natural amenities of little ... -
Remote sensing of wetlands in the Lake Whangape catchment, Waikato, New Zealand.
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Wetlands are among the world's most valuable ecosystems. They provide numerous ecological and socio-economic benefits. However, wetlands continue to disappear due to the increasing demand for wetland resources. In New ... -
Remote sensing, numerical modelling and ground truthing for analysis of lake water quality and temperature
(University of Waikato, 2014)Freshwater accounts for just 2.5% of the earth’s water resources, and its quality and availability are becoming an issue of global concern in the 21st century. Growing human population, over-exploitation of water sources ... -
A Spatial Analysis Of Assault Patterns In Entertainment Areas Throughout the Waikato using Geographic Information Systems
(University of Waikato, 2011)Alcohol related violence has long been a matter of social concern. Recent studies investigating the association between assaults and alcohol have found that there are certain places and locations including bars, which are ...
