The study area comprises the Groot Winterhoek Mountain Catchment Area, as proclaimed in terms of the Mountain Catchment Areas Act (No. 63 of 1970) and the associated State Forest. Physical attributes and location of the area in the western-Cape are described on the basis of published work, unpublished Departmental records and a field survey. Published works and archival material were consulted to determine probable pre-European settlement land use and post-settlement land use up to the present time. Questionnaires and field surveys were used to determine current land use and the effect of past and present use on study area ecosystems. Serious degradation appears to have occurred only over the last 70 to 80 years. Questionnaires and personal interviews provided material for the discussion of attitudes toward Government control in mountain catchments and its social and economic implications. Finally, a procedure for deciding optimum land use in mountain catchments, including a flexible land classification system and a decision model that accommodates both quantifiable and non-quantifiable factors is proposed and demonstrated. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie handel oor bewaring van water bron-gebiede. Dit is uit gevoer in die Groot-Winterhoek Bergopvanggebied, soos geproklameer in terme van die Wet op Bergopvanggebiede (Nr. 63 van 1970) en die aangrensende Staatsbos. Die fisiese eienskappe en ligging van die studiegebied in die Wes-Kaap word beskryf op grond van gepubliseerde inligting, ongepubliseerde Departementele rekords en 'n veldopname. Gepubliseerde stukke en argiefmateriaal is nagegaan om waarskynlike voor-setllar grondgebruik asook na-setlaar grondgebruik tot op hede vas te stel. Vraeboë en veldopnames is gebruik om huidige grondgebruik te bepaal asook die uitwerking van vorige en huidige gebruik op die ekostelsels van die gebied. Dit wil voorkom of ernstige agteruitgang beperk was tot die laaste 70 tot 80 jaar. Die gesindheid teenoor Staatsbebeer in bergopvanggebied en die sosiale en ekonomiese implikasies daarvan is deur vraeboë en persoonlike onderhoude bepaal en word bespreek. Ten laaste word 'n prosedure vir besluitneming oor optimale grondgebruik in bergopvanggebiede voorgestel en gedemonstreer. Die prosedure sluit in 'n besluitnemingsmodel wat beide kwantifiseerbare en nie-kwantifiseerbare faktore akkommodeer.
