Interoperability rules 

by Clare van Zwieten

 Clare van
Zwieten<http://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs042/1101623328228/img/146
.jpg?a=1101971973919> Interoperability is something South Africans are
going to be learning a lot about during the course of 2008.  Generally
interoperability refers to the ability of diverse systems and
organisations to work together. A classic example is the decision in
July last year by the US and the EU to jointly adopt and provide an
improved interoperable design for their respective global navigation
satellite system (GNSS) signals... (more

How the poor access, hold and trade land
by Colin Marx and Lauren Royston, Urban LandMark

Contrary to conventional wisdom, land markets are not absent in the
poorer parts of our cities. The poor are accessing, holding and trading
land in a variety of ways. Seeing these transactions as a process,
rather than a single step, helps understand the complexity of these
arrangements. Land markets in the settlement areas in the case studies
contradict the view that there is only one type of urban land market...

Local understandings of land ownership and their implications   

by Rosalie Kingwill 

The evidence in both studies suggests that there is a considerable
mismatch between local norms and practices with regard to recognition
and transmission of property, and the administrative processes expected
at the formal lega-institutional level. However, what was first assumed
to be a legal-administrative disjuncture between different forms of
tenure that could be solved by tinkering with existing official
institutions, turned into a more complex problem... (more

Using GIS in electrification and network planning 

by Jenny Barnard, Eskom Distribution

Rural electrification in South Africa was estimated to be approximately
51% by 2004. However, while the customer base, costs and environmental
requirements are increasing, supply is reaching capacity and the network
infrastructure is aging. This study suggests that GIS could be used to
identify and then prioritise areas for connection in terms of supply and
demand... (more

Using GIS for strategic environmental assessments
by Dave Blair and Kerry Schwartz, SiVEST Environmental Division

The Clarens area has been subject to alarmingly high levels of
development and land use changes over the last few years. The SiVEST
team was appointed to undertake a strategic environmental assessment
(SEA) and a micro spatial development framework. GIS was an important
tool in undertaking this landmark project which was aimed at guiding
sustainable development in this beautiful area... (more

The A to Z of lidar aerial surveying
Information from Southern Mapping Company 

Prior to lidar aerial surveying taking place, a number of considerations
need to be taken into account. Firstly flight planning has to be
conducted before the flight takes place. This comprises the
determination of the flying height and speed, laser pulse rate, swathe
width, mirror speed, camera orientation, camera exposure interval and
the input of the coordinates of the project into the navigation
computer... (more

River long profiles aid in ecological planning
by Juanita Moolman, Department Water Affairs and Forestry 

The sustainable use of South Africa's water resources is essential to
ensure an adequate supply for future generations. Sustainability
requires recognition of the importance of the protection of aquatic
ecosystems (South African Water Act, No. 36 of 1998). Complex spatial
information products, such as river longitudinal channel slope, provide
important support for aquatic ecosystem assessments... (more

Open space data management at Joburg City Parks 

by Maryna Strydom

Open space management within urban areas is becoming increasingly
difficult as development pressures increase.  Some of the main reasons
for the increased pressure are urban densification and the need for
housing close to and within urban centres. This causes strain between
the need for development and the need for open space protection. Without
adequate spatially referenced information it is difficult to ensure a
holistic overview of this development protection balance... (more
