- Description: D.Com. (Business Management) , The South African Rail Commuter Corporation Limited was established on1 April 1990 according to the Legal Succession Act of the South African Transport Services (9/1989). The newly established Corporation was faced by a lack of focus with reference to strategic direction. A duplication of activities prevailed which resulted in conflict between organisational units and individuals. The gap between the actual and desired organisational climate profile of the Corporation was also unacceptably wide. The need for a strategic management model in order to focus all activities of the Corporation became crucial and resulted in the undertaking of this study...

- Description: Abstract: The purpose of the mini-dissertation was to investigate some of the necessary extents in urban public transportation in South African cities. The preliminary findings show a symbiotic relationship linking informal settlements and public transport whereby issues of spatial planning and land use equally affect both elements. This is explained twofold first; informal settlements continue to increase as South African cities continue to experience rapid urbanisation resulting in lower net urban densities that ultimately make existing public transportation systems unsustainable. Also, unviable due to high costs of maintaining the networks as well as transportation subsidies. Second, due to the apartheid legacy, public transport in South Africa served to promote fragmentation and exclusion of low-income and informal settlements. The overall outcome of this is that inhabitants of informal settlements are forced to make expensive and time consuming journeys to access and enjoy the socioeconomic opportunities and activities offered in urban city centres. The core recommendation from this study is that the “development of a more spatially compact urban form” (Ffc.co.za) in the country’s cities through innovative spatial planning policies that aim to increase densities. , M.Eng.
