The theory of grounded process (more usually, 'grounded theory') became an organizing structure under which conceptual constructs of diverse theoretical origin were deployed to understand a particular place. Grounded process and a series of intellectual constructs were assessed for how well they could apprehend both continuity and change in cultural landscapes over time. In particular, this research focussed on two traditional and adjacent land units (ahupua'a) of Kanaio and A'uahi on the island of Maui in Hawai'i, from 1400 A.D. until the present.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The theory of grounded process (more usually, 'grounded theory') became an organizing structure under which conceptual constructs of diverse theoretical origin were deployed to understand a particular place. Grounded process and a series of intellectual constructs were assessed for how well they could apprehend both continuity and change in cultural landscapes over time. In particular, this research focussed on two traditional and adjacent land units (ahupua'a) of Kanaio and A'uahi on the island of Maui in Hawai'i, from 1400 A.D. until the present.
520 $a Primary enquiries were conducted intermittently over a three year period, 1991-1993, and information collected from numerous sources, especially several rich and unpublished archival ones. An archaeological inventory was undertaken of surface materials, contemporary land use recorded, and indepth interviews conducted with residents and other knowledgable persons. A personal diary was kept throughout the field work in Kanaio-A'uahi. The analysis of such a corpus of detailed material through the intellectual prisms of various theoretical constructs was the focus of the third and fourth chapters.
520 $a In prehistoric Hawai'i, land units (ahupua'a) such as Kanaio and A'uahi were viewed as separate and unique areas that over generations, each evolved into distinct cultural landscapes as distillations of resident world view. These cultural landscapes incorporated human modifications, the geomantic placement of religious structures, the location and underlying image of named places and, central to the process of ongoing integration and incorporation, a series of stories that linked all these attributes into a cohesive cultural image of a particular place (or land unit). As in other communities, dramatic shifts in the cultural landscapes of Kanaio and A'uahi occurred with the impacts of European contact and rapid socioeconomic change.
520 $a For different reasons, by the 1960s, permanent residents had abandoned these two land units for the first time in over 400 years. By the 1990s, there existed in these land units a complex interaction among several interested groups of residents, each of whom had their own clear and unique image of that particular place--in other words, a series of cultural landscapes of Kanaio and A'uahi operating simultaneously and within a single cultural setting.
520 $a All too frequently, past discussions of cultural landscape in human geography have been generalizations that imply a commonality of purpose and shared imagery. These reflected a stereotypic view of culture as a monolithic construct, all members of whom share a common world view, beliefs, values, and collective goals. Increasingly, geographers have become dissatisfied with the simplicity of this cultural model and its inability to apprehend the complexify of real-world problems. This study has applied a multiconceptual approach to interpreting complex, and competitive, cultural landscapes held by various groups for Kanaio and A'uahi. The success of an analytical procedure based on the theory of grounded process demonstrates that a scholarly alternative exists to multidisciplinary research--a strategy that may achieve many of the same goals, but only with significantly greater costs in time and professional personnel.
