It is intended to promote research co-operation and facilitate networking and conference organizing. On an international level, it should assist South African researchers in the human sciences to become an integral part of the global scientific community. On a local level the directory, which sets out the existing resource base of human sciences infrastructure and activities in the country, can be utilized by researchers and policy makers alike for their respective needs. For maximum benefit in increasing research co-operation and networking, the directory should be used in conjunction with the Directory of Human Sciences Research Organizations and Professional Associations in South Africa, published in 1995. The networking directory provides information on the fields of interest and expertise of more than 2 000 individual researchers in the human sciences at research councils, universities, technikons, NGOs and government departments in South Africa. I have no doubt that the South African Human Sciences Research Networking Directory will be of great benefit to the national and international research community. I hope that by the time the second edition is produced, it will reflect a research community that is more representative of all the citizens of our country. The CSD/HSRC invites all users to indicate any omissions, or suggest ways in which this publication can be made more useful. For example, suggestions for additional types of information, different ways of organizing the information collected and different or additional indexes will be welcome. The CSD/HSRC wishes to thank the many individuals who co-operated in various ways during the compilation of this work, and without whom this edition of the South African Human Sciences Research Networking Directory would not have been possible. Prof. Mala Singh Executive Director Centre for Science Development January 1996 INTRODUCTION Responding to a need expressed by many researchers in the human sciences, theCentre for Science Development (CSD) of the HSRC has compiled a South African Human SciencesResearch Networking Directory. Some of the information needed for this publication is already available inthe CSD Referee Database. However, this information cannot be used for publication unlessthe individuals concerned have indicated whether or not they would like to be included in the networkingdirectory. The scope of the networking directory is wider than that of the CSD Referee Databaseas it includes all individuals active in human sciences research in South Africa. The directory was developed in four stages between March 1994 and November 1995. First,an address list was compiled that included researchers from universities, technikons, colleges and public sector andnon- government organizations. To minimize the time and effort it took to fill in the questionnaires, information-gathering for the CSD Referee Databasewas combined with that for the networking directory by integrating the two questionnaires. Second, the particulars of researcherswho returned the questionnaires were captured in the CSD Referee Database. Reminders and copiesof the questionnaire were mailed during August 1994 and June 1995 to all those who failed to reply. During the thirdstage the information of the researchers who indicated that they wanted to be included in thenetworking directory was transferred from the CSD Referee Database to the networking database. Thiswas necessary for editing the information and preparing the database information for publishingpurposes. Fourth, a printout of the information in the networking databasewas mailed to the researchers during the period July 1995 to October 1995. They were requested to check and update theirown information as well as to categorize their fields of specialization according to the 316 categoriesto be used as subject indexing terms for the directory. Unfortunately some of the printoutswere not returned and the CSD regrets any mistakes there may be in these entries. Finally, the datawere converted to Ms Word for Windows during December 1995 and prepared for publication. Scope of the networking directory The networking directory is a biographical guide of human sciences researchers in SouthAfrica. It is divided into two sections. The main section of the directory contains descriptions ofresearchers in alphabetical order according to surnames. Each biographical entry includes,where available, the following professional details:full name, current position, fields of specialization, qualifications, experience, membership of societies, membership of editorial boards,a list of not more than five publications, videos or exhibitions, address, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address.The directory contains 2 699 fields of specialization in the human sciences research field. Because of the limitations of the software package used for the CSD Referee Database thedata were transferred to the networking database using the In Magic software package. Althoughthe In Magic software enabled the manual sorting of information, itwas decided not to rearrange the information because of to time and cost considerations. To keep the volume within manageable size, theamount of information given on the researchers had to be limited, for instance publicationsor exhibitions were restricted to five. Readers who require more information, for example about the publications andfields of specialization of a researcher, can contact the person at the address given. The second section consists of a subject index that lists the researchers in their stated specializationareas, selected by themselves from a list of 314 topics given below. Although the networking directory contains information on more than 2 000 researchers, it does not represent a comprehensive coverage of the field. Response to the questionnaire was not uniform acrossall sectors. The transformation of government departments and provincial governmentsresulted in a disappointing response. It is hoped that the next edition will cover the entire spectrum of researchers in the country. 0Academic development oCognitive psychology oEducational policy oAccounting 0Commerce oEducational psychology oAdministrative law oCommercial law 0Educational sociology 0Adult education oCommunication science oEnglish language and literature oAesthetics 0Community development oEnglish second language 0African

It is being submitted for the Degree Master of Environmental Management at the North- West University, Potchefstroom Campus. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination at any other university. --------------------------------- (Signature of candidate) 07 Day of December 2011 2 | P a g e Abstract Historically the practice of conservation planning has occurred in an ad hoc manner in areas that have no economic or agricultural value. When systematic conservation planning has been implemented it has ensured the identification of priority areas that contain species, habitats, and processes essential to achieving conservation targets and goals set out by government. In the recent past a number of authors within the conservation planning fraternity have started questioning the actual impact of conservation plans. Only one third of the conservation plans (globally) published between 1998 and 2000 resulted in actual implementation. Prendengast et al. (1999) described this gap between conservation plans and conservation action as the ‘research-implementation-gap’. The same phenomenon is experienced in local government conservation planning, in South Africa. This has led to a lack of conservation planning and implementation.

Phylogeny of Southern African and Australasian Wahlenbergioids (Campanulaceae) based on ITS and tranL-F sequence data: implications for a reclassification. Systematic Botany, 38(2): 523 – 535 http:// doi.org/10.1600/036364413X666714 dx. Phylogeny of Southern African and Australasian Wahlenbergioids (Campanulaceae) based on ITS and trnL-F sequence data: implications for a reclassification Christopher N. Cupido , Jessica M. Prebble , and William M. M. Eddie Abstract The Campanulaceae: Wahlenbergioideae currently comprises 15 genera, one of which, Wahlenbergia, is widespread over the southern continents. Southern Africa is the region with maximum wahlenbergioid diversity with 12 genera and approximately 252 species. A second center is Australasia with 38 Wahlenbergia species. This study used a broad sample of wahlenbergioid diversity from South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand to reconstruct a phylogeny based on chloroplast trnL-F and nuclear ITS sequences. Data were analyzed separately and in combination using parsimony and Bayesian methods. The results suggest that for the wahlenbergioids to be monophyletic Wahlenbergia hederacea has to be excluded and that none of the South African, Australian or New Zealand lineages are strictly monophyletic. There are five species assemblages that are in some disagreement with current classification in the family. Wahlenbergia, Prismatocarpus and Roella are shown to be non-monophyletic and implications for a reclassification are presented. Careful consideration of morphological characters is suggested before the adjustment of generic circumscriptions can be accomplished. Recent family-wide molecular phylogenetic studies have supported the view that the Campanulaceae s.s.
