[OSGeo Africa] Urban vs Rural municipalities

[Tania Smith]

Hi Aslam

 

I am assuming the claims are per land parcel.  Then you could use the land parcel identifier to determine if it is on farm land or traditional land or classified as an erf, park, street, etc.  

 

You will have to confirm with the SGs office but if I recall correctly if the 5th to 8th digits of the land parcel identifier = 0000 it is designated as farm land thus I would presume rural.

 

Urban areas are allocated a numeric code for townships or allotment areas depending on which province the data originated from.

 

Hope this is helpful.

Regards,

Tania

Why not use the 3 Geotype categories from StatsSAs latest census: Urban / Tribal traditional / Farms.  Its called passing the buck ;-)

Now tell us the catch...

Dear Colleagues


We have been asked to map existing  outstanding land claims according this to rural/urban.


I have made the assumption that all claims in Metros are urban. Now for the remaining claims.


I would sincerely appreciate your urgent advise on how to determine this.
