Arthur, William Stewart. "Between two worlds: Aboriginal cultural autonomy and economic assimilation in remote Western Australia in the 1980s." Master's thesis, University of Western Australia, 1990. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/269914.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores the possibility that in remote regions of Australia there may be some contradiction between the aim of economic assimilation as reflected in the policy of self management, and the aim of cultural autonomy as reflected in the policy of self-determination. This is done by analysing the way the work performed by Aboriginal people was organised in the industries of a region of the west Kimberley of Western Australia during 1985 and 1986. The thesis concludes that cultural factors did appear to influence the way that Aboriginal people were involved in the economy, and

Pulmonary rehabilitation, consisting of exercise training and education, is one of the most effective strategies for improving the health outcomes of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and reducing associated healthcare costs.

In addition, whether existing programs met Australian recommendations for practice such as those contained in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Toolkit, was unknown. Despite the significant benefi

Abstract:

This thesis examined police and Indigenous relations in rural and remote contexts in Australia which historically and in contemporary times have often been contentious. Using a grounded theory approach, the police participants of this qualitative research provided insight as to how social factors such as ecological, organizational and occupational culture influenced their responses in discrete Indigenous communities. The findings revealed that ecological factors such as community dynamics and Indigenous culture heavily influenced police in how they responded to situations, more so than the inf

Governing water systems to address issues of safety, security and sustainability and to build resilient communities is a key policy focus globally, as climate change and human impacts on freshwater resources are being increasingly felt.

There was concern amongst remote Aboriginal communities, as well as policy makers, that the imposition of mass media without consultation could result in permanent damage to Aboriginal culture and language.

In addition, historical TSS models were critically compared, and the feasibility of the geostationary satellite sensor AHI was also explored with respect to mapping TSS.

Abstract:

Invasive plants pose serious threats to economic, social and environmental interests throughout the world. Developing strategies for their management requires a range of information that is often impractical to collect from ground based surveys. In other cases, such as retrospective analyses of historical invasion rates and patterns, data is rarely, if ever, available from such surveys. Instead, historical archives of remotely sensed imagery provides one of the only existing records, and are used in this research to determine invasion rates and reconstruct invasion patterns of a ca 70 year old

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] The assessment of rehabilitation success is time consuming and costly for bauxite miners because large areas of land (~550 ha per year) are involved. In some cases, rehabilitation results in patches of bare or sparsely vegetated soil. This study uses remote sensing imagery to evaluate the growth of vegetation in rehabilitated bauxite mines in the Darling Range, W.A. This work has five aims, which are to (1) compare vegetation biomass within rehabilitated areas and nearby native forest; (2) analyse temporal changes in vegetation growth within the selected rehabilitated area

Abstract:

Background Few studies with Indigenous communities around the world evaluate the consent process for research. Lack of informed consent impacts research findings and is unethical. The Picture Talk Project was invited by Australian Aboriginal leaders of the Fitzroy Valley to explore the community engagement and consent process for research with Aboriginal communities. Methods Aboriginal leaders and academic researchers formed a leadership team. Community Navigators were employed for language and cultural guidance. Publications detailing the consent process with Indigenous populations were rev

Abstract:

This study was conducted in the context of health service planning in an environment of changing government strategies for regional, rural and remote area health care and telecommunications infrastructure planning in Western Australia. The study provides an account of the State Government of Western Australias planning for the implementation of a telecommunications network infrastructure, and specifically the Telehealth Project, conducted between 1998 and 2002. The purpose of this study was to examine influences on community participation in planning within the dynamic political, economic an

Abstract:

All surveillance systems are based on an effective general surveillance system because this is the system that detects emerging diseases and the re-introduction of disease to a previously disease free area. General surveillance requires comprehensive coverage of the population through an extensive network of relationships between animal producers and observers and surveillance system officers. This system is under increasing threat in Australia (and many other countries) due to the increased biomass, animal movements, rate of disease emergence, and the decline in resource allocation for survei

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to study mangrove response (impact and recovery) from extreme climatic events such as tropical cyclones, marine heatwaves, and drought events on the eastern shores of Exmouth Gulf. Mangroves in arid regions, like those in Exmouth, are considered the most sensitive to disturbances due to already existing at their physiological limits. Projected increase in frequency, severity and duration of climate extremes is also considered a major challenge for mangroves in the future. Mangroves are critically important communities providing a wide variety of essential ecosys
