From risk to resilience
Background Children across the Southern African Development Community (SADC) face disproportionate climate vulnerability, with recent studies indicating 2–3 times higher risk exposure than adults. Despite global commitments under the Sendai Framework, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) education remains fragmented, under-resourced, and exclusionary. Fewer SADC schools have implemented comprehensive DRR programmes, and few teachers receive relevant tra…
Spatial variations in perceptions, risks and impacts of Covid-19 in relation to socio-economic vulnerability in Gauteng, South Africa
This study aims to spatially characterise and explain the differences in people’s perceptions regarding the impact of COVID-19, based on socio-economic disparities in Gauteng using choropleth mapping and Geographically Weighted Poisson Regression (GWPR). Socio-economic factors such as race, education level, and age were spatially modelled to explain people’s perceptions of the effects of COVID-19. The results were spatially variable, and responde…
Understanding Socioeconomic Risk and Vulnerability to Climate Change-Induced Disasters
This study employs a qualitative research approach to spatially delineate the risk and vulnerability of informal settlements in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This comes after devastating floods that occurred in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, in April 2022. This disaster emphasised the necessity for South Africa to proactively address natural hazards by implementing risk reduction strategies rather than attempting to mitigate the impact after the dam…
Making ends meet
To mitigate the ravages of COVID-19, governments across the world imposed limitations on human movement from early 2020 onwards.Such limitations were framed as aiming to achieve a balance between saving lives and livelihoods.One way to test the impact on livelihoods is to look at socio-economic metrics, and their spatial patterns over time.We draw on data from the UJ-HSRC national COVID-19 Democracy Survey, a nationally representative sample (n =…
Hit the Road
Unequal spatial concentration is at the heart of economic imbalance in South Africa. This research aimed at spatially characterizing labor absorption patterns and exploring the link to spatial development. Labor absorption is often used as an indicator of labor market well-being and for many countries, the indicator is often more insightful than the unemployment rate. The research used secondary data to create a longitudinal data set of labor abs…

Knowledge of and attitudes towards Sustainable Development Goals among adults in South Africa
This study used survey results to describe selected adult South Africans’ knowledge of and attitudes towards the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Results revealed that more females than males claimed to have been taught about the SDGs and that more young people than the elderly claimed to have adequate knowledge of the SDGs. Results also revealed that those with a high school education claimed not to have been taught about SDGs…
Factors Affecting Access to Public Healthcare Facilities in the City of Tshwane, South Africa
Access to healthcare services is largely determined by socioeconomic factors, with economically well-off individuals obtaining healthcare services more efficiently than those who are disadvantaged. This paper aims to assess the effects of socioeconomic and other related factors on access to healthcare facilities in the City of Tshwane, South Africa, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were sourced from the Gauteng City-Region Observatory (GCRO) qu…
Understanding students’ environmental perceptions and some of their determinants in Gauteng province
The purpose of this study was to explore students’ environmental perceptions and some of the determinants of these perceptions at the University of Johannesburg in the Gauteng province, South Africa. Students were asked if they perceive a positive future for the environment in Gauteng. Study results revealed that a large majority of students were neutral on whether they perceived a positive future for the environment in Gauteng, which may indicat…
National health insurance in the face of Covid-19
South Africa is set to implement a universal health care system, called National Health Insurance (NHI). The country is plagued by inequality at various levels, and the NHI will attempt to provide more equitable access to health. A national online COVID-19 survey in 2020, measured respondents’ favour or not of such a system. Multivariate logistic regression identified unique determinants of perception of NHI among urban residents (total responden…
A review of place identity studies in post-apartheid South Africa
Place identity studies have attracted considerable interest in South Africa because of its history of separate racial development. However, there is a paucity of studies that have reviewed such studies in the country. This article, therefore, aims to present a selective review of place identity studies in post-apartheid South Africa. A literature search was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. St…
