Territories and urbanisation in South Africa Atlas and geo-historical information system (DYSTURB)

Abstract

This CD-Rom is a commented edition of a geo-referenced database for one century of demographic and administrative follow-up of all localities, cities and territories in South Africa. The Dysturb database collates, harmonises and inter-relates over time the following and functional maps of the districts, provinces and urban areas; the demographic and administrative data for all South African localities from 1911. In all, the 20000 geo-referenced localities of the 2001 census are put in perspective in terms of spatio-temporal parameters, demographic history and urban dynamics, through the post-colonial, apartheid and post-apartheid periods. DYSTURB has a threefold purpose: it is a tool enabling the study of spatial and territorial archaeology, of historical demography, and of urban dynamics. It is backed up by a serie of maps and commentaries that have been developed for the CD-Rom.
