    A revision of the 2004 Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape study Discussion document A research study undertaken for the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning of the Western Cape Provincial Government by Stellenbosch University & CSIR RESEARCH TEAM Dr Adriaan van Niekerk* (Project Manager) Prof Ronnie Donaldson* Mr Danie du Plessis† Mr Manfred Spocter‡ We are thankful to the following persons for their assistance: Ms I Boonzaaier*, Mr Nitesh Poona*, Ms T Smith*, Ms Lodene Willemse* * Centre for Geographical Analysis (CGA), Stellenbosch University † Centre for Regional and Urban Innovation and Statistical Exploration (CRUISE), Stellenbosch University ‡ Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) 17 January 2010 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY One of the objectives of the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning (DEA&DP) is to undertake spatial planning that promotes and guides the sustainable future development of the Western Cape province and redresses spatial inequalities. This goal led to the development of the Provincial Spatial Development Framework (PSDF), which identifies the areas of growth in the province and the areas where, in terms of the sustainable development paradigm, growth should be emphasised in the future. It also addresses the form that this growth or development should take and further emphasises the restructuring of urban settlements to facilitate their sustainability. To provide guidance and support for implementing the PSDF, a thorough understanding and knowledge of the characteristics and performances of all the settlements in the province is needed. The aim of this study was to revise and update the Growth Potential Study of Towns in the Western Cape (Van der Merwe et al.

  • Directions to Bouchard Finlayson
    DIRECTIONS TO BOUCHARD FINLAYSON: 1. The quickest way from Cape Town: 1hour 15 minutes Take N2 from Cape Town, direction Caledon and George, past Cape Town International Airport, through Somerset West and over Sir Lowry's Pass. After about 75km, after going over a 2nd mountain pass, Houw Hoek Pass, the N2 forks left into the R43 - signposted and marked "Hermanus/Kleinmond". (If you go under a bridge, you have missed the turnoff and will have to take the exit for Botriver and double back following the signs for "Hermanus") Once you have taken the R43 - continue for 30 km towards Hermanus, past the suburbs of Vermont and Onrus. At the 2nd set of traffic lights - the Sandbaai intersection of R43 and R320, turn left. (Hemel-en-Aarde Valley housing development & shops landmark on the left). Continue for 5.5 km - past Hamilton Russell Vineyards - you will see our long white walls at the entrance of the farm. The cellar is the thatched building, about 500 metres from the entrance. 2. The most beautiful way from Cape Town: 1 hour 45 minutes Take N2 from Cape Town, direction Caledon and George, past Cape Town International Airport, through Somerset West - take the Gordon's Bay / Rooiels turn-off (right) before ascending Sir Lowry's Pass, and continue along the coastal road towards Rooiels, then past Pringle Bay, Betty's Bay and Kleinmond and past Arabella golf Estate. This road, R44 forms a T-junction with the R43. Turn right at the intersection. Continue for 20 km towards Hermanus, through suburbs of Vermont and Onrus.

Purpose of the GPS is not to identify where growth (e.g. economic, population and physical) should occur, but rather where it is likely to occur (in the absence of significant interventions). HOW? Use quantitative data (measurements) to model the growth preconditions and innovation potential.

Other land-use in this area Instream dams and water abstraction have modifi ed river fl ows and altered downstream includes livestock farming (sheep, cattle and ostriches), commercial forestry (pine plantations) and irrigated agriculture channels. The attenuation of small fl oods by instream dams has narrowed river (fruit), especially in the Palmiet and Bot river catchments.

  • The Ecology of Large Herbivores Native to the Coastal Lowlands of the Fynbos Biome in the Western Cape, South Africa
    The ecology of large herbivores native to the coastal lowlands of the Fynbos Biome in the Western Cape, South Africa by Frans Gustav Theodor Radloff Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Science (Botany) at Stellenbosh University Promoter: Prof. L. Mucina Co-Promoter: Prof. W. J. Bond December 2008 DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 24 November 2008 Copyright © 2008 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii ABSTRACT The south-western Cape is a unique region of southern Africa with regards to generally low soil nutrient status, winter rainfall and unusually species-rich temperate vegetation. This region supported a diverse large herbivore (> 20 kg) assemblage at the time of permanent European settlement (1652). The lowlands to the west and east of the Kogelberg supported populations of African elephant, black rhino, hippopotamus, eland, Cape mountain and plain zebra, ostrich, red hartebeest, and grey rhebuck. The eastern lowlands also supported three additional ruminant grazer species - the African buffalo, bontebok, and blue antelope. The fate of these herbivores changed rapidly after European settlement. Today the few remaining species are restricted to a few reserves scattered across the lowlands. This is, however, changing with a rapid growth in the wildlife industry that is accompanied by the reintroduction of wild animals into endangered and fragmented lowland areas.
