The value and feasibility of implementing the Corridor concept has been debated for over twenty years. A corridor provides land for the coordinated placement of future linear facilities such as highways, railways, pipelines, powerlines and municipal services. Few corridors have been established, although there has been obvious interest in the concept. A number of studies into the feasibility of establishing corridors have been completed in the United States, Alberta and British Columbia. This thesis examines the benefits, disadvantages and implementation problems associated with the corridor concept. Through a literature review, the factors influencing linear facility right-of-way location and width are examined. Also, from the literature, the benefits and disadvantages associated with corridor implementation and the key factors which have inhibited corridor implementation are identified. The Alberta corridor program is studied and the corridor origins, design, institutional framework and implementation mechanism identified. The case study indicated that a set of unusual circumstances allowed for the establishment of the Alberta corridors. This thesis concludes that corridors do provide net benefits for the community in the long term but that they are difficult to implement. The major planning implication of corridors is that they bring right-of-way planning into the sphere of land use planning and reduce the emphasis on economics and engineering. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

Student Number : 0200855X - MSc research report - School of Geography, Archaeology and Environmental Studies - Faculty of Science / This research report focuses on the implementation of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in Johannesburg Water, the water utility of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Council. The research contributes to a broader debate on the implementation of GIS technology in private and public institutions. While this research field has a long and reasonably strong tradition in the developed world, research on GIS and organisations in the developing world is in its infancy. Based on interviews with a range of personnel in Johannesburg Water the research provides an assessment of the history of GIS implementation in this institution. The history, which begins in the 1980s, examines the development of the technology in Johannesburg Water focusing on the experiences of staff and various software and hardware choices. The research also examines current implementation issues and the impact of GIS in decision-making in this organisation. Finally, the research assesses the implementation of GIS in Johannesburg Water in relation to various theories of, and approaches to, GIS implementation.
