The Historical Development of Waikiki: A Geographic Perspective
Abstract:
This presentation looks at the development of Waikiki, one of the most famous tourist resorts in the world, from a Native Hawaiian place to a place dominated by the tourism industry. A geographic perspective is applied to this analysis through the use of maps, photographs and advertisements, as well as through an emphasis on how Waikiki’s “sense of place” has transformed over its fifteen hundred years of continuous human occupation. This presentation argues throughout that Waikiki has always been, and continues to be, a contested place in terms of its dominant land use functions and place identities.
