Thesis / Dissertation

1973

Abstract

The study area lies in the South West Cape and forms a sub-region of the predominantly agricultural region known as the Overberg. Bredasdorp, the primary urban node of the area lies to the east-south east of and some 180 km by road from Cape Town. The regional setting of the area is clarified on map 1. The extent of the region to be analysed (map 2) approximates to the boundaries of the Bredasdorp Divisional Council administrative area, although it includes small portions of land at its western and eastern extremities which fall in the Caledon and Riversdale Divisional Council areas. Its southern limit is the 190 km stretch of coast along the Atlantic and Indian oceans to the west and east respectively of Cape Agulhas which cape forms the southern tip of both the study area and the African continent.
