Visualising population distribution with choropleth maps
Choropleth maps are among the oldest and still one of the most frequently used techniques for visualising quantitative data, such as population density. Today, each geographic information system (GIS) has a plethora of options for categorising data into classes for choropleth maps. Each option has its pros and cons, depending on the data and the use case. This paper presents the results of a user study to assess the suitability of different data …

A risk assessment framework for communicable diseases in informal settlements
Approximately one billion people live in slums or other conditions of informality that are particularly vulnerable to the outbreak of communicable diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns over the ability to manage such outbreaks in informal settlements. To plan and implement appropriate public health responses, risks must first be assessed. However, current risk assessment frameworks for communicable diseases either do not assess risk…
Measuring geographic accessibility in data poor rural areas by augmenting the road network with a triangular irregular network – A case study in the O.R. Tambo District Municipality of the Eastern Cap…
Travelling long distances to access public service facilities is costly and time consuming, especially to those who suffer the burden of poverty and deprivation. Assessing accessibility based on route-based distances does not work well in rural areas of Africa where people often travel along footpaths and dirt roads (in and out of vehicles) that are not mapped, not necessarily well-defined, could vary based on the season or change over short peri…
Using spatial indices to measure dynamic racial residential segregation in Gauteng province (South Africa)
Apartheid laws resulted in racial residential segregation that became entrenched into the urban morphology of South Africa. When apar-theid ended in the 1990’s, the new South African democratic government was resolved to bring about social and spatial justice, address inequalities and promote social cohesion. To determine progress towards racial residential integration, aspatial indices of segregation are widely employed despite their shortcoming…
Geospatial information needs for informal settlement upgrading – A review
Evaluating stakeholder influences on the land use application process in South Africa – Results from an analysis of the legal framework
Conveying map finesse
Maps have been used for centuries to depict the diverse facets of our environment. Thematic maps depict a specific theme and help in revealing geospatial patterns and relations. The study and practice of map making has led to established cartographic design rules. Ever increasing availability of high-quality geospatial data coupled with continuously changing technologies for map making imply that one has to find the right mix between age-old prin…
A qualitative comparison of South Africa's geomatics professional body's academic model against industry's understanding of SDI knowledge and skills requirements
The South African Spatial Data Infrastructure (SASDI) was established in 2003.Registration of geographical information science (GISc) practitioners by the South African geomatics professional body followed in 2004 and accreditation of university GISc programmes in 2012. In 2010, the Committee for Spatial Information identified inadequate knowledge and skills of GISc practitioners as a challenge for the implementation and maintenance of SASDI. In …
