Text in Afrikaans / The growth and development of Randfontein is analysed within a
spatial perspective. The theoretical point of departure is found
in settlement geography and in the spatial economic approach. As
continuous perspective, the PWV serves as major metroplitan
region, of which Randfontein is a functional subsystem.
Information has been obtained from businessmen, industrialists,
the local authorities and the inhabitants of Randfontein. The
economic sectors (mining, manufacturing and services) are
analysed 1n terms of their contribution (or lack of) to the
course of the economic realities in town.
The behaviouristic approach provides a perspective 1n the sense
that behavioral patterns are prominently analysed. A special
technique of analyses is used to highlight the economic activities
of Randfontein (with the graphic illustrations), by determining
strong and weak factors.
Problems that have been experienced in terms of the economic
activities of Randfontein are identified and possibilities for
the future are stipulated. / Educational Studies / M.A. (Geography)
