The Development of Lilani Hot Springs: an Analysis of Socio-Economic and Environmental Impacts THE DEVELOPMENT OF LILANI HOT SPRINGS: AN ANALYSIS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS by ROSS JOHNATHAN HOOLE Submitted in fulfilment ofthe requirements for the degree ofMaster of Science in the Department ofGeography, University ofNatal, Pietermaritzburg. Pietermaritzburg, 2000 ABSTRACT Tourism development in remote areas of South Africa is often being proposed as the solution to poor rural communities' development needs. However, experience indicates that tourism development can result in a negative impact on a community's culture and way of life. The issue of sustainable development and what it means sets a base in which the research looked at tourism in rural areas. The case study on the impact ofthe redevelopment ofLilani Hot Springs as a tourist resort focusses on both the people and environment. The historical context ofthe hot springs, their discovery, development and the demise ofthe old resort is investigated. This was undertaken so that lessons learnt from the past can be taken into consideration with the future development of the resort. This study has included investigating the viability and sustainability ofsuch a tourist resort in the Umvoti Magisterial District and in a rural environment. By focussing on the Lilani community, this research project explores the key factors which have been identified as essential if long-term sustainable tourism is to be achieved in remote rural communities. An appropriate planning approach which stresses local participation and decision-making within the context ofa holistic strategy for community development is subsequently proposed. Tourism has the potential ofprotecting the environmentwhile providing social and economic benefits to the local communities. Clearly ifthe socio-economic needs ofthe local community in which a tourism development is set are not addressed, it will not succeed but ifthe natural environment, which is the very asset on which the tourism development is dependent upon, is not protected the resource which is the source ofattracting tourists will be destroyed. 11 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank all those people who have assisted and supported me throughout this dissertation and without whom the final product would not have been possible.

This conflict escalated during the four years of negotiations for a transition to democratic rule, and reached the status of a virtual civil war in the last months before the national elections of April 1994, significantly disrupting the election process. Although the first year of democratic government in South Africa has led to a decrease in the monthly death toll, the figures remain high enough to threaten the process of national reconstruction. In particular, violence may prevent the establishment of democratic local government structures in KwaZulu-Natal following further elections scheduled to be held on November 1, 1995. The basis of this violence remains the conflict between the African National Congress (ANC), now the leading party in the Government of National Unity, and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), the majority party within the new region of KwaZulu-Natal that replaced the former white province of Natal and the black homeland of KwaZulu. Although the IFP abandoned a boycott of the negotiations process and election campaign in order to participate in the April 1994 poll, following last minute concessions to its position, neither this decision nor the election itself finally resolved the points at issue. While the ANC has argued during the year since the election that the final constitutional arrangements for South Africa should include a relatively centralized government and the introduction of elected government structures at all levels, the IFP has maintained instead that South Africa's regions should form a federal system, and that the colonial tribal government structures should remain in place in the former homelands.

Indeed, the spa is a rich repository of historical, cultural, and behavioral information that is at once unique to its specific location and shared by other spas around the world. We created Health and Wellness Tourism: A Focus on the Global Spa Industry to delve further into the definition of what constitutes a spa, and showcase different perspectives on the history and evolution of spa tourism.

These include the declaration of “Bioregions” and the publication of “Bioregional Plans”. Bioregional plans are usually an output of a systematic spatial conservation assessment of a region. They identify areas of conservation priority, and constraints and opportunities for implementation of the plan. The precursor to a Bioregional Plan is a Biodiversity Sector Plan (BSP), which is the official reference for biodiversity priorities to be taken into account in land-use planning and decision-making by all sectors within the District Municipality. The overall aim is to avoid the loss of natural habitat in Critical Biodiversity Areas (CBAs) and prevent the degradation of Ecological Support Areas (ESAs), while encouraging sustainable development in Other Natural Areas.

    Zululand District Municipality Water Services Development Plan (DC26) Section 1: Socio-Economic Profile 1. SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE The ZDM is the Water Services Authority (WSA) for the entire district in terms of Section 1 of the Water Services Act, 19971. In order to efficiently plan the development of water services in the DM’s jurisdictional area it is necessary to determine the existing or current situation with respect to water and sanitation supply. This Section presents and identifies, both visually and statistically, the physical and consumer profile within the DM. 1.1 Demographics The current consumer profile of the district is indicated in Table 1.1 (a) below: Table 1.1 (a): Current consumer profile (units) INDUSTRIAL / LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES DOMESTIC BUSINESSES FARM HOUSES TOTAL AbaQulusi 15 283 1 947 - 17 230 eDumbe 5 157 336 - 5 493 Nongoma 1 239 483 - 1 722 Ulundi 5 520 638 - 6 158 uPhongolo 3 557 576 - 4 133 Total (urban) 30 756 3 980 - 34 736 AbaQulusi 24 752 - 267 25 019 eDumbe 11 524 - 199 11 723 Nongoma 36 932 - - 36 932 Ulundi 31 803 - 42 31 845 uPhongolo 21 221 - 358 21 579 Total (rural) 126 232 - 866 127 098 Total 156 988 3 980 866 161 834 Present population and projected population growth rates: Population and economic growth rates are used to determine future developmental requirements within the ZDM. This determines the required increase or decrease in water services. Non-domestic consumer unit growth, particularly commercial, industrial and agricultural growth, also gives an indication of the expected increase in water demand and associated wastewater flow discharges.

Walton Universidad del País Vasco Resumen ste artículo propone que desde el siglo XVIII los balnearios termales del Reino Unido E han seguido una trayectoria única dentro del más amplio contexto europeo, que se concreta en la estructura de la red de balnearios, la falta de dinamismo desde principios del siglo XIX y la ausencia del papel innovador británico que se ha notado en otros aspectos de la historia del turismo.

Palabras clave: Turismo, Balnearios, Salud. Códigos JEL: N3, N5, N7. Abstract his article argues that the British experience of spa resort development since the T eighteenth century has been unique in Europe, in terms of the nature of the resort net- work, the lack of sustained dynamism, and the failure of the British role in spa tourism to match the dynamic and innovatory influence displayed in other aspects of tourism develop- ment.
