Die probleme geassosieer met oopruimtes : die Paarl as voorbeeldLe Roux, Hercule 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MS en S)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigated the problems associated with open spaces and nature areas
in Paarl. The attitudes and needs of Paarlites towards these open spaces were also
assessed. A comparison was then made with area specific crime statistics to assess
the actual safety of these problem areas. The needs of the community are stated
according to the needs assessment.
This study was conducted to ensure the sustained conservation of open spaces and
nature areas, and to ensure that the needs of the community are met. The public use
of these areas should also jusitfy the financial input required for maintenance and up
grading of these areas.
This study tried by means of an investigation into the needs, patterns of use and
attitudes of Paarlites, and a comparison with the true crime statistics of the relevant
areas to ascertain whether these areas are truly problematic. If public opinion about
the safety of these areas cannot be substantiated, people can be lured back into
using these areas.
The open spaces and nature areas in Paarl is underutilized. This is due to the
inadequate nature of the areas in terms of the needs of the respondents, the
discontentment of the respondents because of their perceptions about the poor
maintenance of the areas, the activities that take place there, and the general
perception of the areas as unsafe. There were only two areas that could be
perceived as unsafe after research. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie lewer 'n ondersoek na die probleme geassosieer met oopruimtes
en natuurgebiede in die Paarl. Daar is ook onder Paarliete 'n houdings- en
behoeftebepaling aangaande hulle oopruimtes gedoen en 'n vergelyking is met area
spesifieke misdaadstatistieke getref om sodoende 'n gevolgtrekking te maak oor die
areas se daadwerklike veiligheid. Die gemeenskap se behoeftes is na aanleiding
van die behoeftebepaling weergegee.
Hierdie studie is gedoen om die volhoubaarheid en bewaring van oopruimtes en
natuurgebiede te verseker, en te sorg dat die gemeenskap se behoeftes bevredig
word. Die benutting van die areas moet, relatief tot die finansiële insette verbonde
aan die instandhouding en voortbestaan van die areas, voldoende wees.
Hierdie werkstuk poog om deur middel van 'n ondersoek na die Paarliete se
gebruike, houdings en behoeftes 'n vergelyking met die beskikbare statistieke van
oopruimtes en natuurgebiede te tref om sodoende te bepaal of die areas werklik
probleemareas is. As die openbare mening oor die areas se veiligheid nie
gesubstansieer word nie, kan mense teruggelok word om hierdie areas te benut.
Die ondersoek het bevind dat die Paarlse oopruimtes en natuurgebiede onderbenut
word. Dit kan daaraan toegeskryf word dat die areas nie in die respondente se
behoeftes voldoen nie; die respondente ontevrede is as gevolg van hulle persepsies
oor die swak instandhouding van die areas; die aktiwiteite wat daarop plaasvind,
asook die algemene persepsie dat die areas onveilig is. Die navorsing toon egter
dat daar slegs twee areas is wat as onveilig beskou kan word.

A critical analysis of the process of transformation of the city planning function in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan MunicipalityHomann, Desiree 24 January 2006 (has links)
The study is a participant observer study of the transformation of the city planning function of the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality (CTMM) from 5 December 2000 to 30 June 2002. The study is rendered in the form of a narrative told in the first person. The focus of the story is on how power and the aspiration to power influenced the actions of the people in the employ of the municipality and the relations between them during the study period. In this regard the story draws heavily on the work of Bent Flyvbjerg (1998, 2001). A number of recurring themes or golden threads are identified and highlighted through the narrative. These threads are analysed in more detail in the final chapter of the study. They are: -- The influence of power and the prevalence of different types of power; -- The role played by communication during the transformation; -- The lack of regard for people that characterised the process; and -- The inherent resistance to change displayed by the organization. The study unlocks opportunities for further study. It could form the basis of a comparative study with other cases of organizational change, particularly those related to restructuring in the other South African metropolitan municipalities. Furthermore, the struggle for recognition of the City Planning function within the new Tshwane organizational structure could be further investigated against the backdrop of the broader search for a new role and identity for the planning profession. / Dissertation (M (Town and Regional Planning))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Town and Regional Planning / unrestricted

'n Vergelykende studie tussen die ruimtelike ontwikkelingsraamwerke van Tygerberg en Kaapstad plaaslike owerhede met die van die Kaapse MetropoolBruiners, Leona 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MS en S)--Stellenbosch University, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Various spatial development frameworks are currently being drafted to
lead the spatial development patterns of concentrated activities within
municipalities and metropoles. The assignment studies the spatial
development framework of the Cape Metropole as well as those of the
Tygerberg and Cape Town municipalities. An analyses of the different
locations and characteristics of the corridors and nodes in these models
is made. There are however nodes that are not proposed on the spatial
development frameworks but have nevertheless been approved for.
development.
A comparison of the corridor model is made within the frameworks of
the mentioned municipalities. A study is done on whether the corridor
model is totally ignored by local authorities or whether it only differs in
detail. The effect of the Century City node, which was not proposed in
the spatial development frameworks on the development of corridors, is
discussed.
Backgroud information on the origin and functions of corridors and
nodes is gathered through analyses of international examples.
Comparison is drawn between these precidents and the Cape Metropole
proposals to evaluate their applicability.
The conclusion is drawn that the municipalities' and metropole's spatial
development frameworks are based on the same principle but differ in
their detail structure. Many of the recommendations that are made in the spatial frameworks
are difficult to implement. The approval of nodes such as Century City
which are not proposed on the frameworks have a negative influence
on the economic growth and development of future nodes and corridors
as envisaged.
Proposals on how to strengthen the implementation process of spatial
development frameworks and a possible process for the approval of
potential nodes are given. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar is verskillende ruimtelike ontwikkelingsraamwerke wat tans opgestel
word om die ruimtelike verspreidingspatrone van gekonsentreerde
aktiwiteite binne munisipaliteite en metropole te lei. Die werkstuk
ondersoek die ruimtelike ontwikkelingsraamwerke van die Kaapse
Metropool asook die munisipaliteite van Tygerberg en Kaapstad. Die
korridors en nodusse wat in die modelle voorgestel word, word ontleed
in terme van hul eienskappe en verskillende liggings. Daar is nogtans
nodusse wat nie in hierdie ontwikkelingsraamwerke voorgestel word nie,
maar dit is nieteenstaande goedgekeur vir ontwikkeling.
Die werkstuk vergelyk die korridormodel van die Kaapse Metropool
(Metropolitaanse Ontwikkelingsraamwerk) met die munisipaliteite se
ontwikkelingsraamwerke.Daar word ondersoek of die korridormodel van
die metropool heeltemal deur plaaslike owerhede verwerp word of dit
net in detail verskil. Die effek van die Century City nodus, wat nie in
die ruimtelike ontwikkelingsraamwerke voorgestel is nie, op die
ontwikkeling van korridors word ook bespreek.
Voorbeelde van internasionale stede word ontleed om agtergrond oor
die ontstaan en funksies van korridors en nodusse in te samel. Daarna
word bepaal hoe dit op die Kaapse Metropool toegepas kan word.
Die gevolgtrekking word gemaak dat al drie raamwerke op dieselfde
beginsel gebaseer is maar in detail verskil Daar word baie voorstelle
binne die raamwerke gemaak wat moeilik is om te implementeer. Die
goedkeuring van nodusse soos Century City wat nie binne die ruimtelike ontwikkelingsraamwerke voorgestel word nie, het 'n negatiewe
invloed op die ekonomiese groei en ontwikkeling van die voorgestelde
nodusse en korridors.
Aanbevelings oor hoe om die implementeringsproses van die raamwerke te
ondersteun word gemaak en ook 'n moontlike goedkeuringsproses vir
nodusse wat nie binne die ruimtelike ontwikkelingsraamwerke voorgestel word
nie.

Industrial restructuring and changing gender relations : the case of Isithebe in KwaZulu-Natal.Burton, Patrick. January 1999 (has links)
This research, by focusing on the Isithebe industrial estate in KwaZulu Natal, analyses the process of industrial change within one location and the resulting impact on the gender relations within the surrounding communities. Rather than adopting the rather simplistic approach utilised by Women in Development advocates, is suggested that the identification, location and particular experience of power between men and women provides for a more informed position from which gender relations can be understood. Using Social Relations Analysis as a departure point, it is argued that a range of variables and impact on the construction and experience of gender, and thus the relation between men and women. In South Africa, the particular economic and social discourse initiated by apartheid resulted in the formulation of a particular understanding of gender. Various economic and industrial and social shifts over the past decade have served to challenge this conceptualisation and experience, and have resulted in a range of new dynamics between men and women. It is argued that many of the businesses located in Isithebe have been slow to follow the trends and processes of restructuring identified nationally. However, there has been some change in the gendered division of labour on the estate, as men gradually move into sectors previously reliant on female labour. Women are concurrently trapped in low skilled, low paid employment. While the increasing engagement by women in multiple livelihood strategies, within an environment of high male unemployment, is increasing the dependence of households on (he ability of women to earn an income, there is little change in the location of power at a household level. The increased autonomy and decision-making power anticipated by many theorists is not evidenced in the Isithebe community. However, as men seek for alternative sources of security as their traditional role as breadwinner is eroded, women are increasingly aware of the discrepancies and dichotomies within the household, and are beginning to reassess the relations between men and women, and the location of power. Concomitantly both men and women are in a position to reconceptualise the gender component of identity. These processes provide the basis from which unequal relations between men and women can be challenged in the future. / Thesis (M.Sc.U.R.P.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1999.

The political economy of urban and regional planning in South Africa, 1900 to 1988 : towards theory to guide progressive practice.Smit, Daniel Petrus. January 1989 (has links)
The dissertation has three major objectives. The first is to examine the
relation between the nature and trajectory of urban and regional planning
in South Africa, and developments within the, South African political
economy of which it is an integral part. The second is to contribute to
the sparse literature on the history of urban and regional planning in
South Africa. The third is to consider the historical record on and the
prospects for facilitating progressive social change through planning in
South Africa. An empirical analysis of the history of urban and regional
planning for the period 1900 to 1988 provides the basis for the
achievement of all three objectives. In attempting to fulfil the first
objective Sate emphasis is placed on examining the relationship between
territorial apartheid and planning. The experiential basis of the
distinction often made between planning and apartheid by South African
planners is explored. The conclusion reached is that whilst a
distinction between the trajectory of professional town planning and
territorial apartheid is sustainable, there has also been a very
substantial measure of articulation. Special emphasis is also given to
examining the relationship between planning and the specific nature and
history of the accumulation process in South Africa. In this regard it
is concluded that the accumulation process has bone both an indirect and
direct relation to planning at different junctures. At times the
trajectory of accumulation has simply provided a context which has
affected the definition of social priorities and placed limits on what
could be pursued through planning. At other times the momentum of
accumulation has quite directly affected planning, providing
opportunities for or requiring responses from planners.
As far as the record on the social role played by planners is concerned,
it is concluded that planning has not cut a particularly progressive
profile. The emergence of a progressive planning movement in South
Africa is however noted. Possibilities for pursuing progressive
practices are identified against the background of a detailed analysis of
the contemporary period. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1989.

An investigation into why housing consolidation projects only reach 70%-80% of intended beneficiaries on closure of the project in Metropolitan Durban.Mokoaleli, Thabo C. January 2006 (has links)
When the Government of National Unity (GNU) came to power in South Africa in 1994, it inherited a housing sector with severe abnormalities as a result of the policies and political turbulence of the apartheid era (Department of Housing/DOH, 2000a). One of the main problems was and is still the enormous housing backlog facing large sections of the country's population both in rural and urban areas. The housing crisis in South Africa has received extensive attention by the South African government, non-profit organizations and international actors such as research and aid organisations since the demise of apartheid. This shows the historical and present interest on the SUbject. The most significant development in housing policy in 1990 was the creation of the Independent Development Trust (lOT). The lOT, was a parastatal, a government created institution in 1991, which was to address the housing needs of the country's poor. As one form of housing subsidisation, housing consolidation subsidies have been used in housing projects for households to build new houses or improve existing structures on the serviced sites that were previously subsidized through the Independent Development Trust (lOT) in the 1990's. The realisation that between 20%-30% of beneficiaries do not take occupancy at the end of a specific project, has brought a serious concern to the Housing Department, local community structures and Project Managers. This study, focuses on the Durban Metropolitan Area; it intend to increase one's understanding of why consolidation housing projects only reach 70%-80% of intended beneficiaries on closure of the projects. The housing consolidation projects in Luganda and Savannah Park, Southern Pinetown, Durban, which are the sUbject of the present stUdy, were initiated in 1996 and 2000 respectively with the intent to deliver over 2000 houses in both study areas. These are being investigated. The study takes a form of a wholes tick approach and tries to make a link between the absent beneficiaries and those who informally transfer their property to new owners. The reason is simply that the 20-30% originally intended beneficiaries are not benefiting from the Consolidation Housing Subsidy. The study aims to look at alternative, cheaper and affordable ways of obtaining title deeds for people who have bought sites informally from the authentic officially recognised beneficiaries. Lastly, the study will contribute by data gathering and analysis, to the understanding of the phenomenon of low-occupancy and informal or de facto transfer of property. / Thesis (M.Housing)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2006.
