Socio-Economic Profile of Urban Renewal Nodes, Khayelitsha and Mitchell's Plain - South Africa

Abstract
---------------------------

A tender was posted, by the Cape Town City Council, in November 2005 for a socio-economic survey and two focus groups to be conducted in both Khayelitsha and Mitchell's Plain. This tender was awarded to the Unit for Religion and Development at the University of Stellenbosch. The purpose was to update the 2001 Census information as well as to identify key priority issues and needs to inform integrated planning for the areas. In addition, the survey was intended to assess the impact of the Urban Renewal Programme in the respective communities. The objectives of the survey and focus groups were as follows:

• To evaluate the Urban Renewal Programme in the nodes of Khayelitsha and Mitchell’s
Plain in order to improve the programme outcomes and the communication thereof;

• To develop a demographic and socio-economic profile of the community in terms of
household size and composition, education, income and work status. A socio-economic
and demographic profile is important in the identification of community needs to inform
planning;

• To measure the communities’ perceptions on the value and importance of various services
as well as their level of satisfaction with the delivery of these and other services;

• To identify the key needs of the respective communities in order to inform the City on
appropriate investment in facilities, infrastructure and services.

Kind of data

Sample survey data

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

The survey is a stratified sample of 1 000 households from the study area. The sample was stratified on two levels: first, according to the number of households of the two geographical areas in the study area; and second, according to the number of formal and informal dwelling units in each geographical area (Mitchell’s Plain and Khayelitsha).

Regarding the first level of stratification by the number of households for each nodal area, a sample was selected totalling 453 households for the Mitchell’s Plain area and 547 for Khayelitsha. The second level of stratification by dwelling unit type was done within each nodal area, for Mitchell’s Plain totalling 12 informal dwelling units and 441 formal dwelling units, and for Khayelitsha totalling 311 informal dwelling units and 236 formal dwelling units. Formal and informal households were randomly selected from a small area layer (SAL) data set. This data set was created by combining all enumerated areas (EAs) with a population of less than 500 with adjacent EAs within the same sub-place by Statistics South Africa. Assigned to the SAL are the elected datasets from the 2001 Census, one of which is housing type. Because of the small sample size, comparison between geographic areas and/or different dwelling units within the areas may not be statistically significant.

{'Abstract': '2005年11月，开普敦市议会发布了一项招标，旨在对凯亚利提莎和米切尔平原两地进行社会经济学调查，并设立两个焦点小组。该招标由 Stellenbosch 大学宗教与发展单位获得。此次调查的目的在于更新2001年的人口普查信息，并识别关键优先事项和需求，以指导该地区的综合规划。此外，调查旨在评估城市更新计划在相关社区中的影响。调查和焦点小组的目标如下：

• 评估凯亚利提莎和米切尔平原节点地区的城市更新计划，以改进计划成果及其沟通方式；

• 按家庭规模和构成、教育、收入和工作状况等方面，建立社区的人口和社会经济档案。社会经济学和人口学档案对于识别社区需求、指导规划至关重要；

• 衡量社区对各类服务的价值及其重要性的认知，以及他们对这些和其他服务的满意度水平；

• 识别各自社区的关键需求，以便向市政府提供适当的设施、基础设施和服务投资建议。

地理覆盖范围

西开普省的两个更新节点：凯亚利提莎和米切尔平原。

分析单元

家庭和个人。

总体

凯亚利提莎或米切尔平原内所有家庭和法定家庭成员。

数据类型

样本调查数据。

抽样程序

调查是对研究区域1,000户家庭的分层抽样。抽样在两个层面上进行：首先，根据研究区域中两个地理区域的户数；其次，根据每个地理区域（米切尔平原和凯亚利提莎）中的正式和非正式住宅单位数量。在第一个分层抽样层面上，米切尔平原地区选取了总计453户家庭，凯亚利提莎地区选取了总计547户家庭。在第二个分层抽样层面上，在每个节点区域内按住宅单位类型进行抽样，米切尔平原总计12个非正式住宅单位和441个正式住宅单位，凯亚利提莎总计311个非正式住宅单位和236个正式住宅单位。正式和非正式家庭从一个小区域层（SAL）数据集中随机选取。此数据集由南非统计局创建，结合了所有人口少于500的计数区域（EAs）及其相邻的EAs。分配给SAL的是来自2001年人口普查的选定数据集，其中之一是住房类型。由于样本量较小，地理区域之间或区域内的不同住宅单位之间的比较可能不具有统计学意义。
