Surplus People Project Survey 1980-1981 - South Africa

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

The Surplus People Project (SPP) was established in 1979 in response to the programme of forced removals of South Africa's National Party government. The SPP undertook research on the programme and its implication for the lives of South Africans. Their research included a household survey carried out in 1980-1981 to collect data on the economic and social effects of removals on its victims. SPP researchers interviewed resettled households and households under threat of resettlement. The findings of these surveys were written up by the SPP in five reports. The Principal Investigators, Laurine Platzky and Cherryl Walker, published a book in 1985, Forced Removals in South Africa. With their permission, DataFirst has digitised the contents of the completed survey questionnaires, which were housed in the Special Collections department of the University of Cape Town library and The Campbell Collections Library at the University of Kwazulu-Natal. The digitsed, research-ready dataset is in the public domain, to allow further research using this valuable data. With permission, the reports and the 1985 book were also digitised and made available with the data.

摘要
---------------------------
《过剩人口项目》（SPP）成立于1979年，旨在回应南非国民党政府强制搬迁政策。该项目对搬迁计划及其对南非人民生活的影响进行了深入研究。研究内容包括1980-1981年进行的家庭调查，以收集搬迁对受害者经济和社会影响的资料。SPP研究人员对已搬迁的家庭和面临搬迁威胁的家庭进行了访谈。这些调查结果由SPP撰写成五份报告。主要调查员Laurine Platzky和Cherryl Walker于1985年出版了《南非强制搬迁》一书。在他们的许可下，DataFirst对已完成调查问卷的内容进行了数字化处理，这些问卷存放在开普敦大学图书馆的特殊收藏部以及夸祖鲁-纳塔尔大学Campbell收藏图书馆。数字化、研究就绪的数据集已进入公共领域，以便进一步利用这些宝贵数据进行研究。在获得许可的情况下，报告和1985年的书籍也被数字化并随数据一同提供。
