An infrastructure management support system for Western Cape Nature Conservation BoardVan Zyl, Nicolaas Milne 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis investigates the use of GIS (Geographical Information Systems) to
develop an infrastructure management support system for the Western Cape Nature
Conservation Board (WCNCB). The primary goal was to design a system to help the
managers with their task of managing the infrastructure of a reserve. It involved the
development and description, of a system in ArcView with the programming language
Avenue in conjunction with an Access application developed in Visual Basic for
Applications. The end result was a system that can create maps of all the different
infrastructure features with ArcView and use an open-ended Access application to
input data. The data are stored in an Access database. The thesis describes the user
functionality of the system. Basic reporting facilities are provided and the data and
system have the potential to provide essential reporting in future development. The
conclusion of this thesis is that GIS could fulfil the role of an Infrastructure
Management Support System for WCNCB. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die tesis ondersoek die gebruik van GIS (Geografiese Inligting Stelsels) in die
ontwikkeling van 'n infrastruktuur bestuurshulpmiddel VIT Wes-Kaap
Natuurbewaringsraad. Die primêre doel van hierdie studie is om 'n sisteem te
ontwikkel wat die bestuurders van die verskillende natuurreservate kan bystaan in die
bestuur van hul reservate. Die tesis beskryf die ontwikkeling van 'n infrastruktuur
bestuurshulpmiddel met ArcView se programmeringstaal Avenue. Tesame hiermee is
'n Access applikasie wat in Visual Basic for Applications ontwikkel is geïntegreer.
Die eind-resultaat is 'n sisteem wat kaarte met ArcView vanaf gestoorde data in 'n
Access databasis kan produseer en ook datainvordering kan hanteer. Die tesis beskryf
die ontwikkeling en funksionaliteit van die sisteem. Daar word voorsiening gemaak
vir basiese verslaglewerende funksies en vir toekomstige meer gevorderde analises in
die data samestelling. Die gevolgtrekking wat in die tesis gemaak word is dat GIS die
rol van 'n infrastruktuur bestuurshulpmiddel kan vervul VIT Wes-Kaap

The illegal reptile trade - a criminological perspectiveHerbig, Friedo Johann Willem 30 June 2003 (has links)
The illegal reptile trade quandary in the Western Cape province is strategically and chronologically addressed in this thesis with the implicit intention of revealing its gamut and underlying dynamics, developing a pragmatic, parsimonious and authentic conservation crime category with clearly delineated parameters, and formulating an integrated theoretical explanation regarding its aetiology that will adequately explicate herpetological, and hopefully also other forms of natural resource, crime and deviance. The thesis, by essentially transcending traditional, stereotypical edicts, throws new light on a severely neglected and underestimated form of natural resource exploitation, highlighting the need for reptiles, as the sentinels of the state of our environmental health to be preserved and perpetuated for, in the final analysis, the benefit of human kind.
Through an essentially explorative enquiry, utilising an integrated qualitative -quantitative research approach, the concept of conservation crime, as a vanguard to an innovative and unified conservation criminology, is introduced in this thesis in the form of unambiguous adjunct of the mainstream criminological discipline. It is, furthermore, utilised as a conduit within the herpetological crime framework to enrich the criminological discipline as a whole, broaden its frontiers, promote effective and focussed intervention/mitigation initiatives, as well as stimulate interest for further investigation in this field.
Fragmented, antiquated and nebulous legislation, deficient conservation and related role-player organisational capacity and inconsistent penalties, in concert with apathetic (and decidedly generic) societal attitudes and traditional pessimistic rubric regarding reptiles, emerge as fundamental proclivities impeding the effective intercession and management of the natural resources embodied in this sphere. Injudicious manipulation of the Western Cape's scarce and specialised reptile resources and the biodiversity ramifications such exploitation realises portend the intensification and diversification potential of such criminality.
Conservation criminology, as developed and presented in this thesis, underscores the significant contribution this field of criminology can make in comprehending the illegal manipulation/exploitation of herpetological and other natural resources, expanding and enhancing its theoretical constructs and implementing justice through decisive, dedicated and holistic intervention programmes/strategies in order to defend the inherent right to the continued existence of all reptile species. / Crimonology / D.
