Abstract As with many Indigenous cultures, the Māori connection to the land in Aotearoa New Zealand has been weakened by colonization, urbanization and other factors. In particular, Māori youth in their progressively technological world, experience a disconnection from their culture and their land (whenua). Using a participatory design method and designing with the land is proposed as a way to enable cultural reconnection through the reconstruction of identity. Developing ideas from community engagement and place-making with Indigenous groups, in this research landscape architecture students joined with Māori youth (rangatahi) attending an alternative education program to co-design a public community space. The article reflects on the benefits of the community-based participatory research methodology for both groups, including the development of an understanding of the importance of Indigenous knowledge and rebuilding connection to culture and land.

通过参与式设计将毛利青年和景观设计学生联系起来

摘要 与许多土著文化一样，毛利人与新西兰奥特罗阿土地的联系因殖民化、城市化和其他因素而减弱。尤其是，毛利青年在他们日益进步的技术世界中，经历了与他们的文化和土地的脱节（whenua）。建议使用参与式设计方法和土地设计，作为通过身份重建实现文化重新联系的一种方式。在这项研究中，景观建筑学生与毛利青年 (rangatahi) 一起参加了一个替代教育计划，共同设计公共社区​​空间，从社区参与和与土著群体的场所营造中发展想法。这篇文章反映了基于社区的参与式研究方法对两个群体的好处，
