Pluri-residentiality and the multi-house home: an investigation into the second home ownership of the black elite residents of SowetoSingo, Tumelo January 2016 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, November 2015. / Globally, people are connected to multiple homes. This connection develops through
ownership and place attachment. Second home tourism research explores the
ownership and place attachment to multiple homes for the purpose of leisure. Whilst
second home tourism research has been conducted extensively in the Global North,
focusing mainly on leisure, the same cannot be said for the Global South. In South
Africa, there is little research conducted on the local wealthy black population and
the connection to ownership and place attachment to additional/second homes. The
history of racial, socio-economic and spatial segregation in South Africa has
facilitated the unique development of the connection to multiple homes for the black
populations. Using the current second home tourism literature, together with the
legislative history of South Africa, this research hopes to develop open and inclusive
explanations of the second home phenomenon for the case of the influential black
elite residents in South Africa. This dissertation explores the link that sixty-nine black
elite residents of greater Johannesburg suburbs have with their additional homes
that are located in Soweto and other regions in sub-Saharan Africa. To achieve this,
a largely qualitative methodology set was implemented through the use of in-depth
semi-structured interviews and thematic content analysis was utilised for the
analysis. To conclude, the results of this dissertation dispute certain aspects of
concepts used in current second home literature. It is also emphasized that it is
important to rethink and re-conceptualize the international ideas of circulation,
mobility and pluri-residentiality, when attempting to appropriately adapt these
concepts South Africa.

Home ownership in the gap-housing market in South AfricaLudidi, Daniel Dumisa January 2017 (has links)
The access to adequate housing is a constitutional right, in terms of Section 26 (1) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996. Access to housing in South Africa is still an ideal and not a reality. The increase in housing prices reduces affordability, which creates a barrier to the housing market for South Africans to fully participate. The South African housing market is divided, based on the affordability of households, with a gap within the property market. The gap-housing market is a market, which does not receive a government subsidy; and furthermore, it does not qualify for bond finance by the private financial institutions. The gap-housing market includes households that earn between R3,500 to R15,000 per month for residential properties valued between R116,703 to R483,481. The problem is a lack of supply in the gap-housing market to meet the demand; and this is also affected by the poor performance of the subsidy-housing market. The gap-housing market is not traded adequately, due to a lack of supply caused by stricter lending criteria from the banks. The study was conducted by means of reviewing the related literature and by an empirical study. A survey was conducted using the quantitative approach through a distribution of research questionnaires to different organizations within the judgement sample population. The objective of the study is to review the gap-housing market and to make recommendations. The descriptive survey was conducted among specialists that are participating in the South African housing market. The findings of the study suggest that there is a relationship between incentive and participation, as well as a relationship between participation – with access, supply and trading in the gap-housing market. This study will contribute to the South African housing market body of knowledge – by addressing the problem of a gap within the housing market.

A strategic management model for the provision of housing by the City of Cape TownCronje, Stanford Ebraim January 2010 (has links)
Thesis (DTech (Public Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 211-219). / Few issues in the public domain have attracted so much attention than the provision
of housing to the poor. The provision of housing to the poor has always been a
contentious issue, and has acquired special significance in the current political
environment. This study describes, analyses and assesses attempts by central,
provincial and local spheres of government to honour the constitutional provision of
the right to have access to adequate housing. The study consists of an extensive
review of the literature that comprises books, legislation and journal articles accessed
from the Internet. In the process, a study is made of management theory, public
management theory, and legislation pertaining to housing, as well as strategic
management. On the basis of this study, an input/output transformational systems
model is presented of how the Housing Department of the City of Cape Town can
guide its management staff in achieving their strategic objectives. The model is a
normative one intent on assisting managers to attain understanding of set objectives
effectively and efficiently. The assumptions underlying the model emphasise that the
model strives to improve performance.
Data were collected by means of a mixed approach of a questionnaire and semistructured
interviews amongst management staff in the Housing Department. The
analysis of the data collected by the questionnaire was done using SPSS, with the
assistance of a registered statistician. The study researched various aspects of
legislative arrangements that can be utilised with a view to improving the housing
delivery function. One critical aspect in the provision of housing that enjoyed
attention during the semi-structured interviews is the transfer of funding for housing
from the central sphere of government directly to the municipality without the
provincial government acting as an intermediate.
The study concludes by advising on the feasibility of conducting further research on
the increasing involvement of the City of Cape Town in eviction actions brought to
Court by private individuals.

Housing preferences of residents in Stellenbosch, South Africa. --- An application of the Hedonic Price ModelShi, Lin 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MSc (Consumer Science)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / The issue of housing choice and preferences has been and still is the subject of much academic
attention from researchers in many different disciplines. Stellenbosch, the oldest town in South
Africa second to Cape Town, is undoubtedly the most scenic and historically well-preserved town
in Southern Africa. With this plurality of attractive features, the housing market in Stellenbosch has
become one of the most active and expensive housing markets in South Africa. In this specifically
booming housing market, it is indispensable to conduct a housing preference and priorities study to
determine residents’ tastes and preferences, in order to help those concerned, residents, real estate
agents or people related to housing, to make better housing decision. At the same time, considering
the affluent housing market in Stellenbosch, sellers and real estate agents are facing the problem of
appraising the actual market value of houses. There is an apparent lack of a normative method to
evaluate houses, and it is noteworthy that assessments almost always depend on the subjective
experience of sellers and real estate agents.
