A Small Scale Enterprise - A temporal and spatial stopgap for development in MarabastadSwanepoel, Isabelle Marie 26 June 2007 (has links)
In the context of development in marginalised communities in South Africa (and other Third World countries), the thesis project suggests an interim phase of development – between the immediate needs of the marginalised community and the implementation of urban development frameworks. The interim phase has both spatial and temporal implications – it is development at a smaller scale (i.e. site specific) and due to its small scale and subsequent smaller impact on its surroundings, it can be implemented in a shorter period of time. The phase thus fills the spatial and temporal gap for development in Marabastad. The design is one such attempt at starting to fill the gap. It entails the design of a space that functions mainly as a market, which many commuters in Marabastad use as a thoroughfare and as a place to eat and rest. Basic market infrastructure is provided in the form of improved floor surfaces, trees, water and electricity, ablution facilities, storage, shelter and structure. Apart from serving the physical needs of the users of the site, the space should elicit a sense of ownership with its own implied advantages. The market and the accompanying facilities provided in the design are a direct response to the current activities and problems on the site. The implementation of similar projects across Marabastad, each addressing site specific issues, could ultimately lead to the whole of Marabastad being rejuvenated. / Dissertation (ML (Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Architecture / unrestricted

Inherit value : POPUP skills training centre, SalvokopKhan, Zakkiya 23 November 2011 (has links)
This dissertation responds to the problem that intervention on historical architecture generally represents a loss of value to the existing building and new programme. It investigates the relationship between the alteration of historical architecture and the introduction of new intervention which reflects current users, time and programme through cultural production. Historical architecture is static and rejects the notion of change. Interior design opts to alter the existing to ensure new inhabitation in changing times. Cultural production is the process by which products are designed to relate intrinsically to their user group culture and identity. The study links all three factors through the design of the People’s Upliftment Programme skills training centre in Salvokop (2011 POPUP), in a building which was constructed in 1909 as the chief engineer’s office (1909 CEO) for Pretoria’s railway line. The project seeks to identify a balance between retaining the identity and character of the existing (“historical ideal”), and explicitly reflecting the energy of the skills learners and skills training programmes which have subsequently occupied the building. / Dissertation (MInt(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Architecture / unrestricted

Urban agriculture - a community development projectOrton, Jacques 02 February 2010 (has links)
NDLTD Innovative Learning through ETDs Award 2010. This dissertation attempts to provide a platform where the local residents can be educated, empowered and given the oppertunity to earn an income. This platform develops the community from the bottom up and could be implemented in townships across the country. The program takes form as an urban agricultural centre. The centre is located near Eerste Fabrieke Station in Mamelodi and is used as generator for other business, commercial and recreational activities. The urban agricultural centre also serves as a connection between Nellmapius and Mamelodi. Copyright / Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Architecture / unrestricted

The role of technical education in community upliftment in Zimbabwe : a historical perspective and avulationMakotose, Armitage Beverley 06 1900 (has links)
In this dissertation, research was undertaken to trace the development of technical, . education
in Zimbabwe and evaluate its role in community upliftment.
The colonial era ( 1890-1979) and the post-colonial era ( 1980-2000) were examined in this
connection. This involved, inter alia, analysing findings and recommendations of
commissions of inquiry, and provisions of national development plans. Empirical analysis of
the status and role of technical education in community upliftment was also undertaken.
Finally, on the basis of the historical data, findings and conclusions regarding the history of
technical education, as well as its role in community upliftment in Zimbabwe were made. As
a way forward, some recommendations were made which would, if implemented, enhance the
role of technical education in the individual's attainment of meaningful adulthood and
improvement of society's quality of life. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (History of Education)

Community-driven educational and training model for sustainable community development resulting in sosio-economic upliftment in the Western SoutpansbergRosmarin, Tessa 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil (Sustainable Development Planning and Management))--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / This thesis used the Logical Framework Approach to create a project proposal for the
establishment of a community-driven educational and training model for sustainable community
development based in the Western Soutpansberg in the Limpopo Province. The project aims to
provide much-needed socio-economic upliftment to this area, which is characterized by many
large poor local communities with relatively few employment opportunities.
The proposed programme focuses on the formation of the Soutpansberg Centre for Sustainable
Development. This Centre is intended to be a demonstration model for land and agrarian reform
based on sustainable development principles, indigenous knowledge and appropriate
technologies. It would serve as a working example of how the reform process could be
accelerated thus making a significant impact particularly on the lives of the rural poor and
landless in the surrounding area.
The research that was undertaken for this proposal entailed assessing and building on available
primary data and information. It was informed by existing documentation, research and
interviews with key stakeholders. The intention is for this project to become a reality in the near
future and therefore it was necessary to create a document that is both viable and practical taking
into consideration and assessing the various elements involved in such a sustainable development
initiative.

School management imperatives in addressing the needs of impoverished secondary school learners in rural areasTekete, Zoleka Mizper 01 1900 (has links)
The study focuses on management strategies of the highly impoverished secondary schools of the Mount Fletcher District in the Eastern Cape. Challenges facing the impoverished learners and managerial experiences of principals of these schools have been discussed in the study. A literature review provided a conceptual framework and covered definitions of poverty, school management strategies, leadership styles and qualities required for a successful principal heading a secondary school with impoverished learners. An empirical investigation using a qualitative approach was conducted and data gathered by means of interviews with principals, Life Orientation teachers and parents. Finally a synopsis of findings and recommendations were made to assist the policy makers, Departmental officials, principals, teachers and parents in proper management of secondary schools in the poor rural communities. / Educational Leadership and Management / M.

The possibility of Africanization of the curriculum in Namibia in the light of the African experienceKangueehi, Albertus Kuzeeko 11 1900 (has links)
It is widely accepted that in order for education to serve the
people effectively, the school curriculum should be localised.
In Namibia a high rate of failure, unemployment and a low
standard of life, especially among the black section of the
population, is attributed to the foreign education which the
people receive.
This study attempts to shed some light on the nature of school
curriculum. From a comparative study of attempts of
Africanisation of the school curriculum in three African
countries, some universal strategies can be distilled.
A short survey is given of the school curriculum in Namibia and
the history of its development.
Finally, on the basis of the distilled strategies, some
guidelines are drawn concerning Africanisation of the school
curriculum in Namibia. These guidelines could be used to make
the school curriculum in Namibia more relevant / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Comparative Education)
