Abstract The capacity of Indigenous peoples to officially name taonga species (flora and fauna) within taxonomy signifies resilience and a reworking of western scientific processes and institutions. This article explores the ways in which Ngāti Kuri women contribute to environmental justice through the naming of taonga species. Ngāti Kuri were the first tribe in the world to install a tribal name into the co‐authorship of a nomenclature. The article explores the ways in which Ngāti Kuri women, both past and present, rework environmental relationships and knowledge in both tribal and non‐tribal spaces in Aotearoa's most northern region.

Abstract This study regards a Child Play‐and‐Learn Area (CPLA) in a library as a third place and investigates its relationships with visitors through the concept of place attachment. To understand the influence of the CPLA, the study examined the relationships among visitors' place attachment, servicescape and behavioural intentions involving place scales. A survey was conducted in a CPLA in Christchurch, New Zealand (The Imagination Station in the central library) and collected 406 questionnaires. The results indicate that the physical and social servicescape of the CPLA can enhance visitors' place attachment and influence their behavioural intentions in the library and the city. The findings suggest that community‐oriented places like CPLAs and libraries should be used as social infrastructure in urban regeneration strategies.

Abstract Airbnb is an online platform connecting private hosts with visitors looking for short‐term accommodation. The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of Airbnb on long‐term rental housing availability and cost in Aotearoa New Zealand before and during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Regional growth patterns in Airbnb properties were measured and their impact on the private rental market investigated. An increasing proportion of new rental housing was offered through Airbnb over the study period, particularly in popular tourist locations. Increasing occupancy rates pre‐pandemic suggest that there remains room for growth, putting further pressure on the private rental housing stock.

Prison violence is a major safety issue for people in prison and staff. In Aotearoa New Zealand, all prison incidents are recorded on the Department of Corrections (Ara Poutama Aotearoa) COBRA database. An analysis of prison violence at the unit level is applied using machine learning to provide a prediction model of prison violence as well as identify important factors associated with violence. The analysis identifies gang affiliation and security class as important predictors of violence in prison. The study also demonstrates the importance of the social environment and spatial scale when conducting an analysis of prison data.

In this commentary, we reflect on our work with an urban youth farm where young people (re)connect to the food system. Participating in everyday soil creation and care activities nurtured new relationships with more‐than‐human ecologies and beings at an urban farm called Cultivate Christchurch. In this farm, participants engaged with soils and the process of making and regenerating soil from food waste via composting. We ask whether such activities can begin to help participants think with soil rather than about it, and to heal the ‘metabolic rift’, the socioecological disconnect from food growing and nutrient cycles.

Participation of Indigenous peoples and local communities is encouraged in calls for sustainable transitions and transformations. The term ‘community’ is widely used yet nebulously defined. Conservation that removes people from their communities of land invokes epistemological authority and displaced relationships. We relate our work to the articles in this special issue to rethink the relationship between humans and nature in conservation. We propose expanding the term ‘local communities’ to include more than just humans. By decentring the human subject, we rethink what it means to participate in community and place‐making, further unpacking the ethical motivations of emplacement.

Abstract Fowler (2021a, New Zealand Geographer , 77 , 16–31) supplemented the site histories of four central‐Auckland climate observatories by mining two searchable online historical archives (Papers Past, DigitalNZ). Photographic and map evidence was found for three of the sites, but not for the Auckland Domain observatory. Additional information (a map) has now been found which allows a more accurate determination of that site's location. The new information is presented here and the implications for the central‐Auckland rainfall record are noted.
