Existing travel patterns in Windhoek are influenced by the past land use policy of
restricted urban development in the former townships ofKatutura and Khomasdal. Thus
residents in these townships are faced with longer distances to reach quality urban
servtces.
This thesis examined the impact on travel demand of changes in land use policies aimed
at stimulating growth in the two areas using the HLFM computer model. The results
showed that, policy induced land use changes may stimulate population and employment
growth in the neglected areas, but with no effects on the present travel patterns.
The model needs to be refined to fit the peculiarity of the study area. Nevertheless,
information provided in the thesis could be used in assessing areas where development
trends will go if any ofthe land use policy tested in the study is adopted. / Geography / M.A. (Geography)
