Natural resource accounting : a technique for improving planning in New Zealand?

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the summary record of how landscape has been perceived and thought about in New Zealand and to interpret the role of such perceptions and conceptions in providing unity and order in the contemporary nature conservation programme of New Zealand. It will also indicate the potential integration of protected natural areas with development, and suggest their relevance to the cultural identities and local and regional land use patterns of this country.
