Digital Terrestrial Television Infrastructure Rollout
Digital Terrestrial Television Infrastructure Rollout Environmental Impact Assessment - Nakop - 1 1. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT: NAKOP 1.1 INTRODUCTION The farm Nakop is privately owned, belonging to Mr and Mrs Tonnemacher. The farm is located approximately 5km east of the Namibian Border post and approximately 6km east of the nearest settlement which is called Ariamsvlei. The presence of the Namibian border post en route to South Africa contributes to a large average number of tourists passing through the town annually. 1.2 RATIONALE FOR SITE The position of the existing microwave tower at Nakop has very good coverage even beyond the Namibian border into South Africa, covering large parts of the south-eastern extremities of Namibia (Figure 1-1). This microwave tower is however very visible from the B3 road to South Africa. For this reason the proposed site is located close to the existing infrastructure but further back from the edge of the plateau to ensure that it is not quite as visible as the existing infrastructure. Figure 1-1: Predicted coverage of the existing microwave tower at Nakop. Digital Terrestrial Television Infrastructure Rollout – NBC EIA - Nakop August 2013 2 1.3 SITE DESCRIPTION Ariamsvlei is located at the foot of a plateau and as one approaches the Orange River approximately 40km south of the town, there is a sharp decrease in elevation. The surrounding area forms part of the Nama Karoo biome and comprises of a combination of small succulents and grass species. Although not particularly high in faunal diversity, the rocky side slopes of the plateau are an optimal niche for the occurrence of a variety of reptiles and birds. -

INTRODUCTION 1.1 BackgrounD to the stuDy The proposed President’s Link Estate proposal comprises a unique and exciting opportunity for the development of strategically located vacant and unserviced land in the town of Walvis Bay. The main intention is to purchase and develop freehold title of the 111.049 ha, and concurrently working with the Walvis Bay Municipality in bringing forward residential development proposals for the current Walvis Bay Golf Course on Erf 449 in Walvis Bay. The property currently consists of virgin barren lands. Currently approximately 29.2% of the proposed development site is being considered for the proposed development of an 18-hole golf course, a clubhouse, a driving range and a parking area. In addition to this, a new access road will need to be constructed to the proposed new clubhouse. An application will be made for a water use license or permit under the Water Resources Management Act 11 of 2013. In Namibia, applications for Water Abstraction Permits are made to the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry (MAWF). Currently water allocations exist for urban, mining and irrigation applications. -

Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Semi-Arid Regions of Southern Africa
Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Semi-Arid Regions of Southern Africa 1 About ASSAR Working Papers This series is based on work funded by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) through the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA). CARIAA aims to build the resilience of vulnerable populations and their livelihoods in three climate change hot spots in Africa and Asia. The program supports collaborative research to inform adaptation policy and practice. Titles in this series are intended to share initial findings and lessons from research and background studies commissioned by the program. Papers are intended to foster exchange and dialogue within science and policy circles concerned with climate change adaptation in vulnerability hotspots. As an interim output of the CARIAA program, they have not undergone an external review process. Opinions stated are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the policies or opinions of IDRC, DFID, or partners. Feedback is welcomed as a means to strengthen these works: some may later be revised for peer-reviewed publication.

Hitchcock, University of New Mexico, USA ISBN 978-951-51-6347-9 (paperback) ISBN 978-951-51-6348-6 (PDF) Unigrafia Helsinki 2020 ABSTRACT In the last three decades, southern African governments and non-profit organizations, following the narrative of poverty alleviation and integrated rural development, have initiated a variety of development interventions targeting the hunter-gatherer San people. Despite these interventions, the southern African San groups, like many other Indigenous Peoples, remained economically, politically, and socially marginalized. In this doctoral dissertation, I have examined how such interventions have impacted on the contemporary livelihoods of a Namibian San group, the Khwe San. Based on a 15-month-long ethnographic field study with the Khwe community living in the eastern part of Bwabwata National Park (BNP), this thesis is compiled of four peer-reviewed articles and a summarizing report. -
