  • Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape (2004)
    Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape (2004) A research study undertaken fot the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning of the Western Cape Provincial Government by: CENTRE FOR GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH PROJECT LEADER: Prof IJ van der Merwe RESEARCH TEAM: Ms AJ Davids (University of Stellenbosch) Dr S Ferreira (University of Stellenbosch) Mr GP Swart (Urban Dynamics Western Cape) Prof HL Zietsman (University of Stellenbosch) i FOREWORD Linked to the Western Cape’s vision of a ‘Home for All’ and the iKapa Elilhumayo strategy for growing and developing the Western Cape, my Department’s role is to create a Sustainable Home For All – Now and Forever. Drafting the Western Cape Provincial Spatial Development Framework (WCPSDF) has been our major contribution to the iKapa strategies. This Framework is aligned to the National Spatial Development Perspective (NSDP) published by the President’s Office in 2003, which suggests inter alia that Provinces determine the potential for economic growth and human need in towns in the Provinces. Where potential for economic growth is found infrastructure investment is required and where human need is great but economic potential low, social investment in enabling people to participate in alternative labour markets, is essential. Thus it became necessary to understand the potential and challenges of the Western Cape which led us to undertake a scientific study into the Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape. During March 2004 the Centre for Geographic Analysis at the University of Stellenbosch was appointed for this task. The information in this document is the result of thorough and careful analysis of the towns outside the City of Cape Town.

Syntax of place names Dictionary Place Names Bibliography PREFACE Onomastics, or the study of names, has of late been enjoying a greater measure of attention all over the world. Nearly fifty years ago the International Committee of Onomastic Sciences (ICOS) came into being. This body has held fifteen triennial international congresses to date, the most recent being in Leipzig in 1984. With its headquarters in Louvain, Belgium, it publishes a bibliographical and information periodical, Onoma, an indispensable aid to researchers. Since 1967 the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) has provided for co-ordination and liaison between countries to further the standardization of geographical names. To date eleven working sessions and four international conferences have been held. In most countries of the world there are institutes and centres for onomastic research, official bodies for the national standardization of place names, and names societies.
