Sand is a resource in high demand for urban expansion and development. Sand mining operations are often located on the edges of cities. The Macassar Dunes are an important source of building sand for the City of Cape Town. The area is located within the Cape Floral Kingdom, the smallest and richest of the six floral kingdoms of the world. The Macassar Dunes area has been identified as a core flora conservation site due to its unique habitat diversity and quality. South Africa is a developing country and this case study is used to highlight the tensions that arise between the need to provide building sand for development and the need for integrated and accountable management that allows for the sustainable functioning of natural physical and ecological processes as well as enhanced social and economic benefits for people. 2014-07-31T08:04:28Z 2014-07-31T08:04:28Z 2001 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/4842 eng application/pdf Department of Environmental and Geographical Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
