Building Statistics December 2001 Statistical release P5041.1 Building statistics December 2001 Co-operation between Statistics South Africa Embargo: 13:00 (Stats SA), the citizens of the country, the private sector and government institutions is essential Date: 20 February 2002 for a successful statistical system. Without continued co-operation and goodwill, the timely release of relevant and reliable official statistics will not be possible. Stats SA publishes approximately three hundred different releases each year. It is not economically viable to produce them in more than one of South Africa’s eleven official languages. Since the releases are used extensively, not only locally, but also by international economic and social-scientific communities, Stats SA releases are published in English only. 1 P5041.1 Key figures regarding building plans passed for the month ended December 2001 Actual estimates at January Percentage Percentage Percentage constant 1995 2001 change change change prices December to between between between 2001 December December 2000 October 2000 to January 2000 to 2001 and December 2000 December 2000 December 2001 and and October 2001 to January 2001 to R million R million December 2001 December 2001 Residential buildings Dwelling-houses 330,1 5 584,8 -2,8 -5,4 +1,4 Flats and townhouses 107,0 1 472,7 +40,9 +49,1 +10,1 Other residential buildings 5,8 202,5 -75,0 -79,6 -0,3 Total 442,9 7 260,0 +1,0 +1,1 +3,0 Non-residential buildings 92,1 2 431,8 -81,9 -64,2 -35,9 Additions and alterations 245,4 3 848,0 +6,7 +3,8 -6,7 Total 780,4 13 539,8 -33,8 -18,4 -9,5 Seasonally adjusted Percentage Percentage estimates at constant change change 1995 prices December between between 2001 November 2001 July 2001 to and September 2001 December 2001 and October 2001 to R million December 2001 Residential buildings 615,3 -0,6 +4,4 Non-residential buildings 119,9 -27,5 -31,4 Additions and alterations 335,5 -1,7 +9,3 Total 1 070,7 -4,9 -0,7 Key findings regarding building plans passed for the fourth quarter of 2001 Seasonally adjusted real value of building plans passed decreases The seasonally adjusted real value of building plans passed (at constant 1995 prices) for the fourth quarter of 2001 decreased by 0,7% compared with the third quarter of 2001. The decrease of 0,7% in the seasonally adjusted real value of building plans passed was due to a decrease in the seasonally adjusted real value of non-residential building plans passed (-31,4%) during the fourth quarter of 2001 compared with the third quarter of 2001. However, this decrease was partially counteracted by increases in the seasonally adjusted real value of building plans passed for additions and alterations (+9,3%) and residential buildings (+4,4%) during the above-mentioned period. 2 P5041.1 Key findings regarding building plans passed for the year 2001 Total real value of building plans passed decreases The total real value of building plans passed (at constant 1995 prices) during 2001 decreased by 9,5% (-R1 425,5 million) to R13 539,8 million compared with 2000. Large decreases in the real value of building plans passed were reported for non-residential buildings (-35,9% or R1 361,0 million, mainly due to decreases reported for office and banking space (-R437,5 million), industrial and warehouse space (-R427,8 million) and shopping space (-R326,1 million)) and additions and alterations (-6,7% or R274,4 million) during the above-mentioned period. However, the real value of residential building plans passed increased by 3,0% or R209,9 million, mainly due to large increases in the real value of building plans passed for flats and townhouses (+R135,1 million) and dwelling-houses (+R75,4 million) during this period. Seven of the nine provinces reported decreases in the total real value of building plans passed The largest provincial contributor to the decrease of 9,5% (-R1 425,5 million) in the total real value of building plans passed during 2001 compared with 2000 was Gauteng (-5,5 percentage points or R830,1 million), followed by KwaZulu-Natal (-1,6 percentage points or R234,7 million), Western Cape (-1,0 percentage point or R144,1 million) and Free State (-0,9 of a percentage point or R143,3 million) (cf. table A). Large real decreases in Gauteng were reported for non-residential buildings (-R846,4 million), mainly due to decreases reported by the selected urban areas of Witwatersrand (-R923,7 million).

The decrease of 6,9% in the seasonally adjusted real value of buildings completed during the fourth quarter of 2001 compared with the third quarter of 2001 was due to a decrease in the seasonally adjusted real value of non-residential buildings completed (-49,4%, mainly due to the completion of a large shopping centre as reported by North Local Council – Umhlanga Rocks during September 2001). However, this decrease was partially counteracted by increases in the seasonally adjusted real value of residential buildings (+34,2%) and additions and alterations completed (+11,7%) during the above-mentioned period. 4 P5041.1 Key findings regarding buildings completed for the year 2001 Total real value of buildings completed increases The total real value of buildings completed (at constant 1995 prices) during 2001 increased by 10,8% (+R911,6 million) to R9 377,3 million compared with 2000. Large increases in the real value of buildings completed were reported for residential buildings (+12,0% or R465,9 million, due to real increases reported for ‘other’ residential buildings (+R229,5 million) and dwelling-houses (+R173,0 million)) and non-residential buildings (+R445,6 million, due to real increases reported for shopping space completed (+R502,7 million)). The real increase regarding ‘other’ residential buildings (+R229,5 million) was mainly due to the completion of a hotel and casino to the real value of R192,6 million as reported by Southern Metropolitan Local Council of Greater Johannesburg during January 2001. Six of the nine provinces reported increases in the total real value of buildings completed The largest provincial contributor to the increase of 10,8% (+R911,6 million) in the total real value of buildings completed during 2001 compared with 2000 was KwaZulu-Natal (+10,1 percentage points or R852,9 million), mainly due to the completion of a large shopping centre to the real value of R795,0 million as reported by North Local Council - Umhlanga Rocks during September 2001, followed by Western Cape (+2,1 percentage points or R181,0 million) and Eastern Cape (+1,9 percentage points or R158,7 million).

  • Accessmap Decision Support System For
    CSIR DECISION SUPPORT FOR SERVICE ACCESS PLANNING USING ACCESSIBILITY MODELLING Service access planning Service access planning deals with the location and right-sizing of service delivery facilities, and the development of transportation and service linkages in order to achieve the following outcomes: Improvements to service accessibility and availability from the perspective of existing and potential customers. Attraction of the threshold volume of customers that is needed to cover the overheads and make the service viable. Development of cost-effective linkages between services (i.e. linkages that will reduce overheads and/or increase the range of accessible services). Methodology The CSIR has pioneered the development of a customised methodology for service access planning in South Africa. This includes validated procedures for undertaking the following: 1. Auditing of service accessibility and availability at a district level, municipal, planning district or precinct level. 2. Demarcation of facility catchment areas. 3. Mapping of areas with poor access to facilities and /or insufficient capacity in relation to demand. 4. Identification of good locations for new or consolidated facilities. 5. Evaluation of impact of investment on service backlogs 6. Prioritisation of different investment locations for facilities and or improved transport links to achieve greater service reach. Software Although the methodology can to some degree be executed with a variety of freeware and proprietary GIS-based software tools, the CSIR mainly uses Flowmap as the analysis tool – a freeware system developed by Utrecht University in the Netherlands. One of the main features of Flowmap is its software algorithms for simultaneously analysing and matching the supply and demand of many service points within catchment areas.

  • Violence, Autochthony, and Identity Politics in Kwazulu-Natal (South Africa): a Processual Perspective on Local Political Dynamics Mario Krämer
    Violence, Autochthony, and Identity Politics in KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa): A Processual Perspective on Local Political Dynamics Mario Krämer Abstract: “Political violence” is seemingly on the rise again in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The violence that began in the 1980s and reached a peak in the transition period resurfaced before the local government elections in August 2016. Krämer provides a processual understanding of local dynamics of violence in the eThekwini Municipality and situates the current episode within the historical trajectory of vio- lent conflict. He examines how exclusionary identities get activated in local elec- tions and argues that underlying the violence between supporters of hostile political parties are conflicting forms of autochthonous belonging and contradictory ideas about what constitutes membership in a community. Résumé: La « violence politique » semble à nouveau à la hausse au KwaZulu-Natal, en Afrique du Sud. La violence qui a débuté dans les années 1980 et a culminé pendant la période de transition a refait surface avant les élections locales d’août 2016. Krämer fournit une compréhension processuelle de la dynamique locale de la violence dans la municipalité d’eThekwini et situe l’épisode actuel dans la trajectoire historique du conflit violent. Krämer examine comment les identités d’exclusion s’activent dans les élections locales et fait valoir qu’existe, sous la violence entre les partisans de partis politiques hostiles, des formes contradictoires d’appartenance autochtone et d’idées contraires sur ce qui constitue l’appartenance à une communauté. African Studies Review, Volume 63, Number 3 (September 2020), pp. 540–559 Mario Krämer is a postdoctoral researcher and senior lecturer at the University of Siegen, Germany.
