An approach to spatial planning in Southern Africa with particular reference to Transkei's north-east region.Robinson, Peter Spencer. 27 November 2013 (has links)
The aim of this research was to investigate how spatial planning could
contribute to development in the peripheral regions of Southern Africa. It was
undertaken at a time when conventional regional planning was under attack from several quarters and the very relevance of planning at regional scale was being questioned. This state of flux in regional planning doctrine and practice
presented an opportune setting to establish a method embracing the most
relevant components of the debate. The proposed approach to spatial planning took into account the main parameters determining the context within which both planning and development can occur in Southern Africa's peripheral regions. It was tested in a typical environment - that of north-eastern Transkei. The proposed methodology places particular emphasis on the integrative role of planning (sectoral and spatial) at regional scale and on the means of implementation. It was used to draw up a Spatial Development Plan for the region and to set the implementation process in motion. The impact of both the plan and the process were monitored and evaluated after two years. With some refinements, the methodology proved to be an effective means of planning for development and initiating a sequence of actions geared towards development in the region. The conclusions were that spatial planning has a role to play in increasing the productive capacities and improving the living conditions of people in peripheral regions. However, this role is constrained both by the structural dimensions of underdevelopment in these areas (which spatial planning alone cannot resolve), and by the extent of which planners are able to remain involved in the implementation of their plans as part of a continuous development process. It is apparent that more attention needs to be paid to consultation, communication and community liaison than to the technical side of planning. Thus planners need not only to return to the fields of procedural and substantive theory to bolster their doctrine; but they also need to adopt the approach of McGee's "dirty boots brigade". / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal.

Working for nothing : gender and industrial decentralisation in Isithebe.Pudifin, Colette., Ward, Sarah. January 1986 (has links)
"One of the central tenets of critical approaches to social
science is that we should not only understand society
theory), but use such understanding as a basis for a
programme of action (practice) to change society, change...is only possible through an endless cycle of theory and practice. The feminist approach changes and deepens our analysis" (IBG Women's Group 1984:38).
A fundamental issue for planners and planning is the question of
'development.' how does it occur, for whom, and with what
result? One of the South Africa State's policies which is
couched in development terms is that of Industrial
Decentralization. This policy is having an impact on both the organization
and the location of industry. In this thesis we
explore the significance of gender-relations and the geography of
gender relations in the reorganization of industry and
employment. Our specific orientation is towards drawing the
links between gender and industrial decentralization and in order
to do this we look at life experiences in Isithebe, an industrial
decentralization point in KwaZulu near Stanger.
Below we outline the contents of each chapter. The choice of
structure and the reasons behind it are discussed in the section on Methodology in Part 1. In brief the process moves from
women's personal experience of life (part 2) in Isithebe to the
broader social context of this experience (Part 3). / Thesis (M.T.R.P.)-University of Natal,Durban, 1986.

Finding a place in the city : a case study of Great Lakes region refugees in the eThekwini municipality.Rwandarugali, Stanislas. January 2011 (has links)
Worldwide the experiences of refugees on place and their integration into host countries are understood differently. This study seeks to understand how asylum seekers and refugees found a place and settled in South Africa cities. The study focuses on asylum seekers and refugees, not on economic immigrants. By using a qualitative case study approach, the research has been able to explore how Great Lakes region refugees, living in the eThekwini Metropolitan Area, negotiate their place in the city and to what extent they are and they can be integrated into the eThekwini municipal IDP (Integrated Development Planning). The study explores their life experiences of place, social exclusion, social networks and views on their integration. Refugees and key stakeholders in Durban Metropolitan were interviewed and conclusions are drawn from their responses and the literature consulted. The eThekwini Metropolitan inner-city area was chosen as the focus of the research because the majority of Great Lake region refugees are living and working in this area (personal life experience - the researcher, 2010). Nineteen refugees (including three community leaders), and ten stakeholders were chosen and interviewed by using purposive and snowball sampling methods. Interviews were conducted by using in-depth interviews while data was analyzed using the interpretative-descriptive research approach. A multicultural theory is used as the main approach to understand and to guide this study. Therefore some of the findings emanating from this study will add to the understanding of how to deal with the complexity of our urban spaces and provide challenges and opportunities which planning needs to understand and engage within the response of refugee communities in South African cities. This includes installation of refugee reception centres at the point of entry, refugees' integration of municipal policies, and efficient implementation of the existing South African refugee policies. / Thesis (M.T.R.P.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2011.

A critical investigation of the impact of on-consumption alcohol outlets on land use compatibility in residential areas in the Umjindi local municipality area of jurisdiction, Mpumalanga Province.Ntiwane, Bongane Cornelius. 12 September 2014 (has links)
The compatibility of on-site consumption alcohol outlets as land use is predicted by the
acceptance level of the utility or disutility they enjoy amongst residents in a neighbourhood. The
density of alcohol outlets is argued in literature as correlating to the significant positive rate of
amenity effects that include property crime, alcohol related arrests, drunk-driving, fatal and
severe alcohol-induced accidents, violence and assault amongst many others. The problems
associated with on-site consumption alcohol outlets have been insistently brought to the attention
of the Umjindi Local Municipality in the Ehlanzeni District area in Mpumalanga Province by the
residents of the Emjindini neighbourhood. The study is based on the hypothesis that the high
density of on-site consumption alcohol outlets contributes to the incompatibility of such outlets
with residential areas. In addressing the research sub-questions and validating the research
hypothesis, the study adopted various methods (including land use surveys, interviews,
administration of questionnaires, literature review and document review) for the collection,
analysis, interpretation and discussion of data. The study reveals that the higher density of alcohol
consumption outlets is significant in areas of low socioeconomic status. The Emjindini
Townships are located with the density of 1 on-site consumption alcohol outlet per 263 people.
Liquor legislation in South Africa leaves a lot to be desired in its guidelines for alcohol outlet
density, public participation, location radius and local authority involvement. In addition, our
findings showed that the significantly unacceptable level of impact thereof is experienced
especially in the night, in areas characterised by the high density of on-site consumption alcohol
outlets. The on-site consumption alcohol outlets are seen as compatible land uses in residential
areas for the reason that, the unacceptable level of impact is insignificant during the day. The
adoption of preferred and practical guidelines related to the locality and density of on-site
consumption alcohol outlets, compatibility performance standards and public participation are
recommended for policy and practice. The amendment to the liquor law is subsequently proposed
in this study. / M.U.R.D.P. University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban 2014.

The role of integrated development planning in the integration and transformation of former apartheid townships in South Africa : a case study of Inanda, Ntuzuma and KwaMashu (INK), eThekwini Municipality (Durban).Mngadi, Thandekile. 24 October 2014 (has links)
During the Apartheid period township areas were excluded from development. Townships only contained residential land uses, and limited social services of poor quality. Such areas lacked economic activities people had to travel to the city for employment opportunities and access to better services. As a result of apartheid planning, the country was left with cities and towns that are racially divided, lack access to business and other services and have sprawling informal settlements and spread out residential areas that make cheap service delivery difficult. All the above mentioned outcomes require a new approach to address the development challenges in South Africa. This led to the formulation of Integrated development planning processes, which were adopted to contribute towards eradicating the legacy of the past by providing a framework for economic, social development, environment protection and to deal with spatial and infrastructure issues in all the municipal areas.
This study presents findings on the extent in which integrated development planning initiative in eThekwini Municipality has transformed and integrated the Inanda, Ntuzuma and KwaMashu (INK) areas. Based on the findings of this research it has been revealed that integrated development planning approach has played a major role in transforming and integrating the INK area, hence there has been improvement in the social, economic and the spatial aspects of development. However it is recommended that the municipality also consider development of light industries and skills development initiatives to address social and economic issues that are a challenge for INK areas / M.T.R.P.

'n Ondersoek na die implementering van verdigting deur beleid binne Paarl munisipale gebiedVan der Linde, N. M. 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (M. Town and regional planning)--Stellenbosch University , 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: An ever increasing segment of the population in the current low density category
contributes to the sprawling South African city as we know it today. To provide for the
housing needs o f people, precious agricultural land is being used, and the historic character
o f towns is being destroyed. Densification of the city structure has been put forward as a
solution to this problem. In this way, different components of the city may be connected
and existing infrastructure may be optimally utilised.
The concept of densification is gaining popularity in all spheres o f planning. The
implementation of densification requires suitable policy, as well as the strict application of
the aforesaid. A densification policy must include consultation with all parties involved
with a view to finding a balance between the need for land for development purposes, the
conservation of agricultural land, the conservation of the historic character o f towns and
cities, as well as being in the public interest.
A theoretical investigation was done in which all aspects regarding densification, and its
implementation in the South African context were studied. Attention was also given to
policy formulation. This was followed by an empirical study, based on the Paarl municipal
region as an example, in an attempt to reconcile theory and practice.
It was found that although densification enjoys great support, the perception held by
professional planners as to appropriate methods for the achievement o f higher densities did
not correspond wholly with theoretical arguments in this regard. It was also found that it is
important to view densification in relation to the environment in which it is applied, and to
create an executable policy for a specifically designated area. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Snelgroeiende bevolkingsgetalle in ‘n lae-digtheidsmilieu dra by tot die uitgebreide Suid-
Afrikaanse stad soos ons dit vandag ken. In die proses word kosbare landbougrond
gebruik om in die behuisingsbehoefte van die mens te voorsien en die historiese karakter
van dorpe word vernietig. As oplossing vir hierdie probleem word verdigting van die stad
voorgestel, om sodoende verskillende komponente van die stad te verbind en reeds
bestaande infrastruktuur tot die optimum te benut.
Die konsep van verdigting geniet toenemende gewildheid in alle sfere van beplanning.
Implementering van verdigting kan slegs deur die daarstelling van geskikte beleid en die
toepassing daarvan geskied. By die formulering van ‘n verdigtingsbeleid moet alle
rolspelers in die proses geraadpleeg word en ‘n middeweg tussen die behoefte aan grond
vir ontwikkeling, die bewaring van kosbare landbougrond, die bewaring van die historiese
karakter van ‘n stad en die publiek se belange gevind word.
‘n Deeglike teoretiese ondersoek is geloods, wat teoretiese aspekte omtrent verdigting en
die implementering van verdigting binne die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks ondersoek het. Daar
is ook aandag aan beleidsformulering gegee. Dit is opgevolg deur ‘n empiriese studie wat
binne Paarl se munisipale gebied uitgevoer is en teoretiese inligting met die praktyk
probeer versoen.
In hierdie studie is bevind dat alhoewel verdigting van die stad groot ondersteuning geniet,
die persepsie van professionele persone in die beplanningsprofessie oor metodes om hoër
digthede te bereik, nie heeltemal met die voorgestelde metodes vervat in teoretiese bronne
ooreenstem nie. Daar is ook bevind dat dit belangrik is om verdigting binne die konteks
van die omgewing waarin dit toegepas word, te beskou en sodoende ‘n uitvoerbare beleid
vir ‘n spesifieke omgewing op te stel.

Parking policy and- problems in business areas with reference to the central business district of PaarlKing, David John 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MS en S)--Stellenbosch University, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The problem of parking has been with mankind almost from the day that the first
carriage was invented. Everyone that owns a motor car knows competing for a parking
space in a town centre can be frustrating. This study sets out to explain the
phenomenon of parking and attempts to discover how the demand and supply of parking
interacts with one another. Parking demand and supply needs to be balanced by policy
makers in local governments. Local govemments are in a unique position in laying down
guidelines for the provision of parking. These guidelines can influence and direct the
way in which parking is supplied in the central business district.
A better understanding of parking demand was attained through examining parking
behaviour in the central business district of Paarl. The demand for parking was
measured and conclusions drawn regarding on-street and off-street parking provision.
In-lieu parking fees were found to be a viable alternative to providing parking in the
central business district. The minimum parking standards for Paarl were examined and
the conclusion arrived at showed that the standards need to be revised. The standards
seem to be too high if compared to the current supply of parking in the central business
area.
The main recommendations made in this study are that further parking survey studies
. need to be conducted to forecast the demand for parking in the central business area
over the short- to medium term. The Municipality of Paarl should adopt a comprehensive
parking policy that guides and manages the provision of parking in the central business
district. This policy should be continually adapted and updated to keep track with the
changing nature of transport modes and behaviour. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Parkering as 'n probleem is saam met die mensdom al vandat die eerste trekkar
ontwikkel is. Elke motoreienaar weet dat dit baie frustrerend kan wees om parkeerplek in
die dorpskern te soek. Die studie ondersoek die fenomeen van parkering en poog om te
ondek hoe die vraag en aanbod van parkering by mekaar inskakel. Dit is die taak van
beleidsmakers in plaaslike owerhede om parkeervraag en -aanbod te balanseer.
Plaaslike owerhede is in 'n unieke posisie as dit kom by die ontwerp en implementering
van regulasies oor parkeervoorsiening. Hierdie regulasies beïnvloed en lei die manier
waaarop parkering in die sentrale sakekern voorsien word.
'n Beter begrip van parkeervraag is verkry deur parkeergedrag in die sentrale sakekern
van die Paarl te ondersoek. Die vraag na parkering is gemeet oor 'n sekere tydperk en
gevolgtrekkings oor op-straatse en af-straatse parkeervoorsiening is gemaak. Parkeervoorsieningsfooie
in plaas van parkeerplekvoorsiening word gesien as 'n goeie
alternatief om te sorg dat genoegsame parkeerplekke beskikbaar is in die sentrale kern.
Die minimum parkeerstandaarde vir Paarl is ook ondersoek en die gevolgtrekking is
gemaak dat hierdie standaarde hersien moet word. Die standaarde kom voor as te hoog
as dit vergelyk word met die huidige vraag na parkering in die sentrale sakekern.
Die hoof aanbevelings wat in hierdie studie gemaak is sluit in dat verdere parkeerstudies
gedoen moet word om die vraag na parkering te kan vooruitskat. Die vooruitskattings
moet oor die kort- tot mediumtermyn geskied om te voorkom dat die data relevansie
verloor. Paarl Munisipaliteit moet ook 'n omvattende parkeerbeleid wat die voorsiening
en beheer van parkering defineer en lei daarstel. Die beleid moet gereeld verander en
aangepas word om tred te hou met veranderings in vervoermodusse en parkeergedrag.
