The Mātauranga Māori and Earthquake Resilience Disciplinary Theme Five (DT5) has been funded by QuakeCoRE, New Zealands Centre of Research Excellence (CoRE) for seismic resilience. Established in the wake of the Canterbury earthquakes (2010-2012), QuakeCoRE’s mission is to transform the earthquake resilience of communities through innovative world-class research projects. DT5 was a partnership between QuakeCoRE, University of Auckland, Massey University and the research think tank Ngārchitecture. The website Rūsearch was conceived by Professor Anthony Hōete (Ngāti Awa) and co-created with Summer Status and Magical Animal
The Mātauranga Māori research programme will undertake community-oriented and co-designed research to create and innovate Mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) that will support the earthquake resilience aspirations of tangata whenua.
