This study aims to understand the context of place associated with smoking in urban Hamilton parks from a Te Ao Māori perspective (the worldview of Māori, the Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand).
Our study approached smokefree environments in Hamilton through a Māori lens, undertaking interviews with family groups and people from organisations involved in the local Smokefree environments policy.
The majority of the 26 adult participants identified as Māori, with 30% being current smokers. Parks had a place in the sporting memories of participants. Smoking was merged with these memories. Important features of places that influenced smoking behaviours were raised, with signage a key talking point.
The colonial construct of parks do not make visible Māori values and historical associations with the land, nor do they set a framework that would promote Māori ways of being and doing, including enacting smokefree spaces and places.
This study provides the incentive to address change in parks and reserve management that would support Māori aspirations for their health and wellbeing associated with ancestral land, and give meaning to smokefree environments.
本研究旨在从毛利人视角（新西兰原住民毛利人的世界观）理解与城市汉密尔顿公园相关的吸烟场所背景。
我们的研究通过毛利人的视角来探讨汉密尔顿的无烟环境，对参与当地无烟环境政策的家庭群体和组织的人员进行了访谈。
26 名成年参与者中大多数自认为是毛利人，其中 30%是当前吸烟者。公园在参与者的运动记忆中占有一席之地。吸烟与这些记忆融合在一起。参与者提出了影响吸烟行为的重要场所特征，标志着一个重要的讨论点。
公园的殖民结构并没有体现毛利人的价值观和与土地的历史联系，也没有为促进毛利人的生活方式和行为制定框架，包括实施无烟空间和场所。
本研究鼓励改变公园和保护区的管理，以支持毛利人对与祖传土地相关的健康和福祉的期望，并赋予无烟环境意义。
