To explore how a smokefree parks policy was conceived, accepted and developed by and for Kapiti Coast District Council (KCDC).
Thirteen people involved in the smokefree parks policy process for KCDC were interviewed in person during November-December 2008. Supporting documentation and websites were accessed and reviewed.
In September 2008 the KCDC agreed to adopt a smokefree parks and playground policy, following an initiative from a smokefree coalition of several public health organisations. The policy was developed collaboratively by this coalition with input from the council, and was supported by key local organisations. The KCDC appears to have adopted a smokefree outdoor areas (SFOA) policy because of demonstrated public support, the relative simplicity and low cost of the policy, the success of similar policies elsewhere, and because of the alignment with desired community outcomes. The challenges included finding funding and allocating staff time for this project. There were also concerns with how the policy would be enforced.
A collaborative approach amongst health and community groups for achieving SFOA policies works well. The experience with council SFOA policies has considerable impact on the adoption of similar policies by other councils. To maximise this influence, information about the policies needs to be spread nationally by the health and local government sectors.
探讨无烟公园政策是如何由卡皮蒂海岸区议会（KCDC）构思、接受并为其制定和发展的。
2008年11月至12月期间，对13名参与KCDC无烟公园政策制定过程的人员进行了面对面访谈。查阅并审查了相关支持文件和网站。
2008年9月，在几个公共卫生组织组成的无烟联盟的倡议下，KCDC同意通过一项无烟公园和游乐场政策。该政策由该联盟与议会共同制定，并得到了当地主要组织的支持。KCDC似乎采纳了无烟户外区域（SFOA）政策，原因包括公众支持得到证明、该政策相对简单且成本较低、其他地方类似政策取得成功以及与社区期望结果相一致。挑战包括为该项目寻找资金和分配工作人员时间。还存在对政策如何执行的担忧。
健康和社区团体之间为实现SFOA政策采取的合作方法效果良好。议会SFOA政策的经验对其他议会采纳类似政策有相当大的影响。为了最大限度地发挥这种影响，卫生和地方政府部门需要在全国范围内传播有关这些政策的信息。
