Item Redefining Local Communities Identity, Aspirations and Interest in Protected Area Management: A Study of the Double Drift Game Reserve(University of Fort Hare, 2002-12) John, Odindi OdhiamboThe protectionism approach often adopted by protected area management systems has compounded the problems of poverty, dis-empowerment and population pressure in the neighborhood communities. Consequently there has been growing dissent to this mode of conservation from the underdeveloped rural communities, who have often paid high price for protection of the given resources, this problem has been further exacerbated by local communities exclusion from decision making process, resource sharing and appropriation of economic accruals from protected areasItem The Implications of Political Floor Crossing on Development at Municipal Level: The Case of Stellenbosch Municipality(University of Fort Hare, 2004-04) Kamuti, TariroThe South African Parliament in 2002, passed legislation allowing political floor crossing that was applicable at the local government level. The major result was a shift in the balance of power in several local municipalities with some political parties losing their majority control. The study aims to examine the effects of political floor crossing on local development. The study is guided by the theory of urban politics that enhances explanations of urban centres, using Stellenbosch Municipality as a case study. The study uses the realist single-case intensive research approach. The study shows that political decision-making within council has a bearing on the developmental focus of the municipality. The newly declared majority party alliance in Stellenbosch is already bringing about a new perspective and focus on development at the local level.Item Domestication of Artemisia Afra (African Wormwood) and Ropagation by Leafy Stem Cuttings(University of Fort Hare, 2002-02) Ketelo, Charles NcebaArtemisia afra (African wormwood) is used traditionally as medicinal plant to cure fever, coughs, colds and headache by indigenous people. The objectives of this study were two-fold. Firstly, to determine how local rural people feel about the domestication of Mhlonyane for the extraction of essential oil. This was done by means of a questionnaire survey, where 80 respondents were selected at random at Melani village in the Nkonkobe District of the Eastern Cape. Secondly, preliminary trials were conducted at the University of Fort Hare on the vegetative propagation of Artemisia afra using leafy stem cuttings rooted under an intermittent mist spray using different lndolebutyric acid (IBA) treatments and different rooting media. Also, tested were the growth retardant paclobutrazol (PBZ) and some fertilizer treatments for growing on the rooted cuttings in pots.Item Research Methods and Research Reports: GEG 701/E, Degree Examinations November 2019(University of Fort Hare, 2019-11) Mzitshi, Z.A.F.; Sumner, P.; Spocter, M.Item Environmental Impact Assessment: GEG 723/E, Degree Examinations November 2019(University of Fort Hare, 2019-11) Mazinyo, S.; Nel, W.; Odindi, J.Item Physical Geography (Geomorphology): GEG 524/E, Degree Examinations November 2019(University of Fort Hare, 2019-11) Nel, W.; Magagula, H.B.; Hedding, D.W.Item GIS Project Management: GIS 325, Supplementary Examinations January 2019(University of Fort Hare, 2019-01) Marembo, K.R.; Malunda, K.B.; Dube, T.Item GIS Techniques: GIS 222, Supplementary Examinations January 2019(University of Fort Hare, 2019-01) Malunda, K.B.; Tshazi, Z.Item Climatology, Settlement and Regional Geography (Introduction to Human Geographies): GEG 121, Supplementary Examinations January 2019(University of Fort Hare, 2019-01) Nel, W.; Moko, Z.; Pindura, T.H.Item Settlement Geography: GEG 526/526E, Degree Examinations November 2018(University of Fort Hare, 2018-11) Mzitshi, Z.A.F.; Siyongwana, P.Q.Item Theory of Geography: GEG 501/ 501E, Degree Examinations November 2018(University of Fort Hare, 2018-11) Pillay, R.; Narsiah, I.Item Settlement Geography: GEG 526/526E, Supplementary Examinations January 2019(University of Fort Hare, 2019-01) Mzitshi, Z.A.F.; Siyongwana, P.Q.Item Economic Geography, Geomorphology, Statistics for Geographers, Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing: GEG 221, Degree Supplementary Examinations January 2019(University of Fort Hare, 2019-01) Kalumba, A.M.; Mzitshi, Z.A.F.; Magagula, H.B.Item Advanced spatial modelling & analysis: GIS 512, Special Examinations June 2018(University of Fort Hare, 2018-09) Mathe, T.; Marembo, K.R.; Palmer, K.R.Item Spatial Analysis: GIS 315, Degree Examinations June 2018(2018-06) Sibandze, P.; Chirima, G.Item GIS Database Design & Management: GIS 341 Degree examinations, May/June 2018(University of Fort Hare, 2018-06) Marembo, K.R.; Dube, T.Item Geography & Environmental Science: GEG 211 Supplementary Examinations July 2018(University of Fort Hare, 2018-07) Mzitshi, Z.A.F.; Moko, Z.; Magagula, H.B.; Mazinyo, S.; Nel, W.; Kalumba, A.M.
