ArcGIS REST Feature Service NaPALIS_ID Name Type Local Purpose / Government Purpose reserve purpose is split into local purpose and government purpose fields - Request explicit mapping. Unique “type” values are: COVENANT & MANAGEMENT_AGREEMENT & PPL_AGREEMENT & KAWENATA. While the ”type” PPL_AGREEMENT (Section 76 of the Reserves Act 1977) has a one to one mapping to legislation, the other types do not and thus a relationship between type and legislation can not be established. At best the following one:many mappings are infered: (COVENANT: "Section 22 Queen Elizabeth the Second National Trust Act 1977" & "Section 27 of the Conservation Act 1987" & "conservation covenant under Section 77 of the Reserves Act 1977"), (MANAGEMENT_AGREEMENT: "A management agreement for conservation purposes under Section 29 of the Conservation Act 1987" & "A management agreement for conservation purposes under Section 38 of the Reserves Act 1977") & (KAWENATA: "A Maori reservation for natural, historic, or cultural conservation purposes under Sections 338 to 341 of the Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993 (Maori Land Act 1993)")
