Where you live influences the things you can do and where you can go. This can affect your health and wellbeing. Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust has put shared cars and e-bikes in your community. We’ll repeat our survey next year to see whether using the cars and bikes has led to any changes in your life. This year’s results are about how things were before most people had used the shared cars and bikes.Item Open Access What is dark matter?(Otago Daily Times, 2020) Gordon, ChrisItem Open Access “Rapid, accessible, and equitable”: Trends in speech perception testing(2021) O'Beirne, GregItem Open Access How might future transport technologies impact urban planning in New Zealand(2020) Kingham, SimonItem Open Access The (possible) impacts of future transport technologies on planning in Christchurch(2020) Kingham S; Kingham, SimonItem Open Access Future transport in Christchurch(2019) Kingham, SimonItem Open Access Transport, wellbeing and community: learning from recovering Christchurch(2018) Kingham, SimonItem Open Access What role does transport have in achieving Sn5 of the RMA(2019) Kingham, SimonItem Open Access Do more motorways reduce congestion and emissions?(2021) Kingham, SimonItem Open Access Item Open Access The importance of transport: more than moving people and things(2021) Kingham, SimonItem Open Access Item Open Access What are resilient communities?(2021) Kingham, SimonWhat did we learn from post-EQ Christchurch in terms of: - Building more resilient, healthy and sustainable urban communities? - Role of built and social environment? - Community development?Item Open Access Item Open Access Can we create sustainable, resilient and healthy communities, or do they just happen?(2020) Kingham, SimonStructure • What is a Sustainable, Resilient, Healthy Community? • How we do get there?

A major contributing factor is that many beachgoers are unable to identify rip currents. Previous research has attempted to quantify beachgoers’ rip spotting ability using photographs of rip currents, without identifying whether this usefully translates into an ability to spot a rip current in situ at the beach. This study is the first to compare beachgoers ability to spot rip currents in photographs and in situ at a beach 5 in New Zealand (Muriwai Beach) where a channel rip current was present. Only 22% of respondents were able to identify the in situ rip current. The highest rates of success were for males (33%), New Zealand residents (25%), and local beach users (29%). Of all respondents who were successful at identifying the rip current in situ, 62% were active surfers/bodyboarders and 28% were active beach swimmers. Of the respondents who were able to identify a rip current in two photographs, only 34% were unable to translate this into a successful in situ rip identification, which suggests that the ability to identify rip currents by 10 beachgoers is worse than reported by previous studies involving photographs. This study highlights the difficulty of successfully identifying a rip current in reality and that photographs are not necessarily a useful means of teaching individuals to spot rip currents. It advocates for the use of more immersive and realistic education strategies, such as the use of virtual reality headsets showing moving imagery (videos) of rip currents in order to improve rip spotting ability.Item Open Access Surviving Well Together(2018) Dombroski KF; Healy SHow can we work to transform our economies so that all can survive well together? In the United Nations Millennium declaration, signatories pledged to “spare no effort to free our fellow men, women and children from the abject and dehumanising conditions of extreme poverty”, eventually resulting in the detailed targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Setting targets is a management strategy which assumes the problem of poverty is primarily a lack of goal-setting, vision, or resource allocation. This is one important aspect of the problem to be sure, and the SDG process has certainly altered resource allocations and produced results. The other part of the problem is transforming the way we do economy more broadly, towards modes of production that care for people and planet more effectively. In our view a first step is to recognise that economies are something we construct both through what we do and do not do. The Community Economies Collective is a group of thinkers and writers who work to rethink how we do economy, with a preference for those who are most vulnerable in our world — human and nonhuman.Item Open Access Transport and health – opportunities for a healthier Canterbury(2015) Kingham, Simon
