Volume II - The Northern Cape Provincial Spatial Development ...

3.6.3 Temporal profiles of municipalities
The same procedures and outputs (with minor adjustments as indicated in Section 3.4) as
described in the previous sections on the cross-sectional profiles of the towns and
municipalities, were implemented to measure the changes that took place in the development
potential and human needs levels of municipalities between 2001 and 2007. Several tables
(Table 3.10 and Addendum 3.4), and maps (Figures 3.20 – 3.22) were constructed to represent
the “change” dimension in the 32 municipalities. The investment groups, based on the changeindicators,
are listed in Table 3.11.
The above-mentioned set of tables, maps and histograms will provide the scene from which
the interpretation of the Northern Cape development landscape will take place.
