Thesis (MS en S)--Stellenbosch University, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT:The study focus on the Greater Saldanha and environment
by evaluating the socio-economic impact of the Saldanha
Steel project on the area. Major development projects,
like the SSP, can create significant impact on the socioeconomic
features within the region of influence. This
impact affects the provision of public services
(education, health services, police protection), social
services (housing, transport, urban land use) as well as
the fiscal features of the region.
Following the National elections in 1994, the new
government implemented the Reconstruction and Development
Programme (RDP) to address social and economic problems
in specific regions. The RDP was followed by the Growth,
Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) strategy. Spatial
Development Initiatives (SDI's), form part of the GEAR
strategy and aims to address regional differences and
promote sustainable long term development, economic
growth and employment in the region. The West coast
Investment Initiative (Well) is one of the eight SDI's
that were identified.
The Saldanha Steel project (SSP) is the focus project of
the WCII. The initiative is a mixed industrial and agrotourism
SDI. Great expectations were formed with respect
to the number of employment opportunities that would be
provided by the SSP, as well as the economic progress and
development within the region.
This study project evaluates the socio-economic impact of
the SSP by focussing on the demographic aspects, social infrastructure and services, employment and income,
housing and development, infrastructure provision as well
as the SSP's involvement within the communities of
Greater Saldanha and environment. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie fokus op Groter Saldanha en omgewing deur die
sosio-ekonomiese impak van die Saldanha Staal projek
(SSP) op die gebied te evalueer. Groot
ontwikkelingsprojekte, soos die SSP, kan 'n groot impak
maak op die sosio-ekonomiese kenmerke binne die streek of
area van invloed. Die impak word veral ervaar in die
verskaffing van publieke dienste (opvoeding,
gesondheisdienste, polisie), sosiale dienste (behuising,
vervoer, stedelike grondgebruik) sowel as die fiskale
karaktertrekke van die streek.
Na die Nasionale verkiesing in 1994, het die nuwe
regering die Heropbou en Ontwikkelingsprogram (HOP) geimplementeer
om sosiale en ekonomiese probleme aan te
spreek. Die HOP is in 1996 gevolg deur die "Growth,
Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) strategie. As deel
van die GEAR strategie, is Ruimtelike
ontwikkelingsinisiatiewe deur die Nasionale Regering
ingestel om streeksongelykhede aan te spreek en
volhoubare lang termyn ontwikkeling, ekonomiese groei en
werksgeleenthede te verseker vir die streek. Ag
ruimtelike ontwikkelingsinisiatiewe (ROI) is ingestel,
waarvan die Weskus Beleggingsinisiatief een is.
Die Saldanha Staal projek (SSP) is die fokusprojek van
die Weskus Beleggingsinisiatief. Die inisiatief is geidentifiseer
as 'n gemengde industrieële en landboutoerisme
ROI. Groot verwagtinge is geskep ten opsigte van
die hoeveelheid werksgeleenthede wat geskep sal word deur
die SSP, sowel as ekonomiese vooruitgang en ontwikkeling
binne die streek. Die werkstuk evalueer die sosio-ekonomiese impak van die
SSP deur te fokus op demografiese aspekte, sosiale
infrastruktuur en dienste, indiensneming en inkome,
behuising en ontwikkeling, infrastruktuurvoorsiening
sowel as die SSP se betrokkenheid by die gemeenskappe van
die Groter Saldanha en omgewing.
