(2012)The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrological impacts of land use/land cover (LULC) change in the Harts River catchment from 1990 to 2010 using an integration of remote sensing, Geographic Information System ... -
Mapping and analysing cancer incidence in South Africa
(2014)The primary aim of this dissertation was to develop and validate a methodology for identifying spatial clusters (hotspots) of various paediatric cancers within South Africa by using GIS software. The Hotspot Analysis ... -
A remote sensing and GIS scheme for rangeland quality assessment and management in the North-West Province, South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2015)South African rangelands contribute 80% of the total area of the country although most of them are believed to be degraded due to anthropogenic activities. In the North-West province of South Africa, degradation of rangeland ... -
Spatially defining the South African map requirements for Environmental Authorisations : a Gauteng Province perspective
