FINDINGS, MODELLING AND RECOMMENDATIONS
But that is our business to arrange ideas in so rational an order that
another person can make sense of them. We have to deal with that
problem on two levels. We have to arrange the ideas in a theory or
narrative, to describe causes and conditions that lead to the effects that
we want to explain, and do it in an order that is logically and
empirically correct. Finally, we want our prose to make the order we
have constructed clear. We do not want imperfection in our prose to
interfere with the understanding of our readers. These two jobs
converge and cannot be separated in presenting conclusions, findings
and making recommendations after research (Neuman, 2000; 44).
Against this backdrop, this chapter contains a summary ofthe findings and conclusions ofthe
study. This is done with particular reference to the aims and objectives of the study, a
summary of the methodology adopted, background insight as well as a recommended model
ofmunicipal development in Ulundi.
7.2 THE FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
This section of the thesis presents the findings that were concluded in the course of the
research investigation. To a very large extent, the findings ofthis thesis on the situational and
land use analysis of the development of Ulundi are outlined here and they inform the
suggested recommendations and the proposed model ofdevelopment.
