Settlement-level economic performance as a factor influencing working-age population migration in South Africa
South African towns and cities face substantial challenges, owing largely to the pace of economic growth to date and continued migration of people from rural areas. The widely accepted push–pull theory of migration assumes that migration is a functional and inevitable outcome of spatial inequality. Economic drivers are frequently used to explain population movements in South Africa, given that the country’s biggest socio-economic challenges inclu…
LiDAR derived shack footprint for the City of Cape Town, South Africa
Shack extraction is a growing application area for solving contemporary geographical complexities in developing countries. Traditional ground-based surveys that provided shack counts are being overtaken by the opportunities around rapid advances in spatial data collection. The ability to automate and report high accuracies against ground truth remains key to the complex nature of the digital shack extraction matrix. This study uses 8 cm aerial fo…
A Theoretical Proposition for Spatial Data Infrastructure On-Going Improvement
The past three decades have seen technology become ubiquitous and impact on many fields academically and in professional practice. In geo-information, data acquisition and management have manifested through technologies such as global positioning systems, remote sensing, geographical information systems, unmanned aerial vehicles and improved photogrammetric processes. With all these improved technological capabilities, geospatial data collection,…
