Abstract

ABSTRACT The emergence of the COVID-19 virus has significantly shifted the lives of Pacific families and communities from face-to-face communal settings to digital spaces. While there has been a multitude of opportunities for Pacific people to express themselves in digital spaces, little is known about the impacts of this on social life, including on quality time within families, exposure to misinformation, and the adoption of online addictive behaviours. This article sets out to critically review and explore the impacts and influences of digital experiences and behaviours on Pacific peoples in Aotearoa/New Zealand, shifting from ordinary practices such as church, kava-drinking and educational learning, to online platforms. Vā (space) and tauhi vā (nurturing relationships) are also discussed as theoretical concepts in navigating the shift from ordinary practices to extraordinary spaces. Findings include the exposure to COVID-19-related misinformation and online addictive behaviours, which will better inform community leaders, services providers, and policy makers in addressing the digital impacts and influences that Pacific people may be facing in Aotearoa/NZ.

数字Vā:从太平洋角度看2019冠状病毒病大流行期间新西兰奥特罗阿从“普通实践”到“特殊空间”的转变

COVID-19病毒的出现已将太平洋地区家庭和社区的生活从面对面的公共环境显著转变为数字空间。虽然太平洋地区的人们有很多机会在数字空间中表达自己，但人们对这对社交生活的影响知之甚少，包括对家庭美好时光的影响、对错误信息的暴露以及对网络成瘾行为的采用。本文旨在批判性地回顾和探讨数字体验和行为对新西兰奥特亚罗/太平洋人民的影响和影响，从教堂、卡瓦酒和教育学习等普通做法转向在线平台。Vā(空间)和tauhi Vā(培育关系)也作为理论概念进行了讨论，以引导从普通实践到非凡空间的转变。调查结果包括接触与covid -19相关的错误信息和在线成瘾行为，这将更好地为社区领导人、服务提供商和政策制定者提供信息，以应对太平洋地区人民在新西兰可能面临的数字影响和影响。
