  • A Revision of the 2004 Growth Potential of Towns in the Western Cape Study
    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.

The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.

  • Community Drinking Water Fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region: a Feasibility Study
    Community drinking water fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region: A feasibility study. A dissertation submitted for the degree MSc (Dent) in Community Dentistry at the University of the Western Cape. Student: Gilbert J Dennis Student Number: 860991 Supervisor: Dr Neil Myburgh November 2002 Declaration I declare that the Community drinking water fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region: A feasibility Study is my own work, that it has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other university, and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by complete references. Gilbert J Dennis November 2002 2 Abstract The prevalence of dental decay is high among lower socio-economic groups in the Southern Cape and Karoo region. 70 - 80% of State employed dentists' time in this region is spent on attempting to reduce the pain and sepsis within the communities for which the primary treatment modality is extraction of the tooth under emergency conditions. In developing countries the prevalence of dental decay is still high. There is a general downward trend of dental decay in developing countries; and it is associated with combinations of exposure to fluoridated water and/ or other forms of fluoride exposure (e.g. in fluoridated tooth paste), the provision of preventive oral health services, an increase in dental awareness through organized oral health education programs and the readily available dental resources. This study looked at the feasibility of implementing community water fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region by describing the primary drinking water sources, the population distribution around these sources and the actual levels of fluoride found in the water samples.

  • In the Little Karoo, South Africa
    ASPECTS OF THE ECOLOGY OF LEOPARDS (PANTHERA PARDUS) IN THE LITTLE KAROO, SOUTH AFRICA A THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF RHODES UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY AND ENTOMOLOGY BY GARETH MANN FEBRUARY 2014 i ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Leopards (Panthera pardus) are the most common large predators, free roaming outside of protected areas across most of South Africa. Leopard persistence is attributed to their tolerance of rugged terrain that is subject to less development pressure, as well as their cryptic behaviour. Nevertheless, existing leopard populations are threatened indirectly by ongoing transformation of natural habitat and directly through hunting and conflict with livestock farmers. Together these threats may further isolate leopards to fragmented areas of core natural habitat. I studied leopard habitat preferences, population density, diet and the attitudes of landowners towards leopards in the Little Karoo, Western Cape, South Africa, an area of mixed land-use that contains elements of three overlapping global biodiversity hotspots. Data were gathered between 2010 and 2012 using camera traps set up at 141 sites over an area of ~3100km2, GPS tracking collars fitted to three male leopards, scat samples (n=76), interviews with landowners (n=53) analysed in combination with geographical information system (GIS) layers. My results reveal that leopards preferred rugged, mountainous terrain of intermediate elevation, avoiding low-lying, open areas where human disturbance was generally greater. Despite relatively un-fragmented habitat within my study area, the leopard population density (0.75 leopards/100km2) was one of the lowest yet recorded in South Africa. This may reflect low prey densities in mountain refuges in addition to historical human persecution in the area.

  • 7. Water Quality
    Western Cape IWRM Action Plan: Status Quo Report Final Draft 7. WATER QUALITY 7.1 INTRODUCTION 7.1.1 What is water quality? “Water quality” is a term used to express the suitability of water to sustain various uses, such as agricultural, domestic, recreational, and industrial, or aquatic ecosystem processes. A particular use or process will have certain requirements for the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of water; for example limits on the concentrations of toxic substances for drinking water use, or restrictions on temperature and pH ranges for water supporting invertebrate communities. Consequently, water quality can be defined by a range of variables which limit water use by comparing the physical and chemical characteristics of a water sample with water quality guidelines or standards. Although many uses have some common requirements for certain variables, each use will have its own demands and influences on water quality. Water quality is neither a static condition of a system, nor can it be defined by the measurement of only one parameter. Rather, it is variable in both time and space and requires routine monitoring to detect spatial patterns and changes over time. The composition of surface and groundwater is dependent on natural factors (geological, topographical, meteorological, hydrological, and biological) in the drainage basin and varies with seasonal differences in runoff volumes, weather conditions, and water levels. Large natural variations in water quality may, therefore, be observed even where only a single water resource is involved. Human intervention also has significant effects on water quality. Some of these effects are the result of hydrological changes, such as the building of dams, draining of wetlands, and diversion of flow.

    ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT THE PROPOSED GEORGE WESTERN BYPASS ROAD N2 TO OUTENIQUA PASS GEORGE WESTERN CAPE PROVINCE Prepared for ARCUS GIBB (Pty) Ltd On behalf of DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND PUBLIC WORKS, PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION, WESTERN CAPE By Jonathan Kaplan Agency for Cultural Resource Management P.O. Box 159 Riebeek West 7306 Ph/Fax: 022 461 2755 Cellular: 082 321 0172 E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 2009 DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE I, Jonathan Michael Kaplan, declare that I am an independent consultant, and that I am financially independent of the client and their consultants, and that all opinions expressed in this report are substantially my own. Jonathan Kaplan Abridged CV Surname: Kaplan First names: Jonathan Michael Date of Birth: 23 September, 1961 University of Cape Town, South Africa. MA (Archaeology) 1989 Since 1991 I have been working as an independent archaeological consultant specialising in Archaeological Impact Assessment with a focus on pre-colonial Stone Age, Herder and Rock Art studies. I trade under the name Agency for Cultural Resource Management. 1 Executive summary A Phase 1 Archaeological Impact Assessment of the proposed George Western Bypass Road – N2 to Outeniqua Pass has identified no significant impacts to pre-colonial archaeological material that will need to be mitigated prior to road construction activities. Six proposed alternative alignments (two in the southern sector and four in the northern sector) have been identified and each one was searched for archaeological remains. Since at least the early 1700’s, much of the affected area has been modified and severely altered through agricultural activities (mainly pasture farming) and is therefore in an already transformed state.
