Understanding the inter-relationships for the creation of a local land information system : the Zimbabwean local government experience at growth points.Zhou, Samson Zigah. January 2000 (has links)
Zimbabwe is made up of eight provinces, fifty-seven districts and as many Rural
District Councils. In each district there is at least one Growth Point although some
may have up to two or more. A Growth Point is a 'town or City in the making' and is
usually, but not necessarily the capital of a district. Rural District Councils, which
form the local administrative authority and have administrative responsibility over the
land that falls within their jurisdictions, are often located at these Growth Points.
These local authorities liaise and interact closely with central government, which is
made up of Ministries and Departments with different functions, which somehow
hinge on the administration of the land. This makes the linkages and land information
flows, based on land records crucial. The legacy of the history of separate
development introduced and left systems of government, which are complex and
hinder a free flow of information within central government and also between central
and local governments. These linkages and interrelationships are mapped and traced
with a view to streamlining information flows in order to eliminate or minimize flaws .
While the efforts of decentralisation towards this goal are recognized, the
shortcomings have been cited and the thesis makes some recommendations based on a
research undertaken with the cooperation of Gokwe Rural District Council at Gokwe
Growth Point. The thesis recommends strengthening the local capacity by assisting
their efforts to computerise their records and eventually develop that into a fully
integrated local Land Information System that should eventually be linked to the
National System. / Thesis (M.Sc.Sur.)-University of Natal, Durban, 2000.

Perception and preparedness of stakeholders at hospitals to utilize a paperless environment.Ramharuk, Vikash. 30 October 2013 (has links)
The embracing of Health Information Technology (HIT) by hospitals is viewed as one mechanism to
mitigate the ever-growing healthcare supply and demand gap, reduce medical errors, increase efficiency,
improve quality of care and automate business processes. This has led to many hospitals investing large
sums of money in the hope that HIT can help hospitals achieve this goal.
The problem, however, is that similar to other industries that have undertaken this journey towards
embracing Information Technology (IT), hospitals have not been very successful and have not achieved
the expected benefits of IT. One of the major contributing factors to the high failure rate of IT
implementation within the healthcare sector is user acceptance. The main objective of this study was to
determine the perception and preparedness of clinical stakeholders to adopt a paperless environment and
to determine if the clinical stakeholders were equipped with the necessary skills to be able to function
within a paperless environment.
Due to the nature of the study, a quantitative approach was used to gather information using a
questionnaire. The private hospital that agreed to participate in the study is from the eThekwini
municipality. A total of 300 questionnaires were handed out to the nursing clerk at the hospital and a
total of 102 questionnaires were successfully answered giving the researcher a response rate of 34%.
The findings of the study indicate that both perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use by clinical
stakeholders are enablers to HIT usage while resistance to change is an inhibitor to HIT usage. The
findings also indicate that both related knowledge and perceived compatibilities have a positive effect on
the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use respectively. / Thesis (M.Com.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville, 2010.

Administrative reporting for a hospital document scanning systemChava, Nalini January 1996 (has links)
This thesis will examine the manual hospital document retrieval system and electronic document scanning system. From this examination, requirements will be listed for the Administrative Reporting for the Hospital Document Scanning System which will provide better service and reliability than the previous systems. To assure that the requirements can be met, this will be developed into a working system which is named as the Administrative Reporting for the Hospital Document Scanning System(ARHDSS). / Department of Computer Science

Towards a classification system of significant water resources with a case study of the Thukela river.Pienaar, Harrison Hursiney January 2005 (has links)
The increasing demand for water to provide for South Africa's growing population has resulted in increasing pressure being placed on the country's limited water resources. Water developments however cannot be undertaken without considering the water resource base and the key policy frameworks that governs its use and protection. The Department of Water Affairs and Forestry as the custodian of water resources in the country initiated the implementation of the National Water Act during 1999. It has therefore the mandate to ensure that the protection, use, development, conservation, management and control of water resources be achieved in an equitable, efficient and sustainable manner, to the benefit of society at large. The National Water Act prescribes that the Minister of the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry develop a system for the classification of all significant water resources to ensure its protection and sustainable utilisation. The classification system is to be used to determine the class and resource quality objectives of all significant water resources. In the absence of a formal classification system, a framework was developed through this research study in order to guide both the development of a classification system and the implementation, hence ensuring an overarching structure within which intergrated water resource management can be achieved. The main goal of this framework was to seek an appropriate balance between protecting significant water resources and at the same time promoting water resource utilisation in support of socio-economic development. This framework was executed in the preliminary determination of the Reserve for the Thukela River catchment to ensure that informed and calculated decision-making processes are followed once significant water resources are classified.
