ABSTRACT

This paper presents the findings of the Perceptions of Papakāinga project, a 12-month, Ngā Pae o Te Māramatanga funded project which explores comparative views of ‘home’ for Māori. The findings highlight the emerging themes around the meaning of ‘home’ for three different generations of Māori living in different geographical locations and how these meanings shape or influence the perception of how to ‘be well at home’. By investigating the views and attitudes of Māori community members in two distinct communities regarding what ‘home’ means to them, the research has been able to identify that ‘home’ is more than a spatial or physical notion, and that there are a range of holistically connected aspects that need to be considered if we are to deliver effective and sustainable solutions around Māori being ‘at home’. As Māori meanings of ‘home’ are adapting, developing and changing, especially in the current Coronavirus Covid-19 context, the findings from this research contribute to the significant thinking that needs to influence future policy direction and also highlights areas that require further investigation.

摘要

本文介绍了Papakāinga的感知结果项目，一个为期 12 个月的 Ngā Pae o Te Māramatanga 资助项目，探索毛利人“家”的比较观点。调查结果突出了围绕“家”的含义出现的新兴主题，这些主题围绕着生活在不同地理位置的三代不同代毛利人，以及这些含义如何塑造或影响如何“在家过得很好”的看法。通过调查两个不同社区的毛利社区成员关于“家”对他们意味着什么的看法和态度，该研究已经能够确定“家”不仅仅是一个空间或物理概念，而且有一系列的如果我们要围绕“在家”的毛利人提供有效和可持续的解决方案，就需要考虑整体相关的方面。由于“家”在毛利语中的含义是适应、发展和变化，
