Abstract
An attempt is made in this dissertation to evaluate the
quality of life of communities living in traditional
settlements and planned betterment schemes.
A comprehensive socio-economic survey was undertaken to
assess the developmental potential of both areas. The
dissertation also drew a comparison between the two
settlements in terms of their physical and human
capabilities.
Final analysis revealed that there are significant environmental
differences between the two settlements.
The communities differ markedly in terms of their land
use patterns, agricultural productivity, access to
amenities and services, social organization and environmental
perception.
Both settlements have strengths and deficiencies and
the latter beg serious attention. In this respect,
several policy statements and recommendations are made
in order that the lives of people in the rural areas of
KwaZulu are improved.
