JWANENG PROFILE Advert and Map Free Edition

another of a smaller scale is located in Unit
3. The large scale industry contains 112
industrial plots while the other contains
only 8. Of the total number of industrial
plots, 53% are developed while the other
half remains undeveloped. 56 of these are
within the large scale industrial zone while
only one is within the other industrial zone.
This resembles the rate of industrial
development witnessed in the previous
update seven years ago.
Civic and Community Land Use
The amount of land devoted to Civic and
Community land use within the built up area
is 115 hectares, with a total of 135 plots. This
category of land use is comprised of four
primary schools, two junior secondary
schools, three clinics, two community halls,
religious facilities, public offices, cemetery
and day care centres. There is however one
significant civic and community plot which
is reserved for a truck inn which remains
undeveloped to date.
Agro-Industrial
This particular land use is located on the
north western part of the built up area and
occupies 6.94 hectares. There are two
developed plots of this category which
function as plant nurseries. The 40 agro
industrial plots proposed by the 2004
Jwaneng Development Plan have not been
developed and the recycling of waste water
from the neighboring sewage ponds is on
the pipe line.
Open Space
There are 159 active and passive open
spaces in Jwaneng. This category of land
use occupies about 53% of the total land use
within the built up area. Passive spaces
include the neighborhood parks behind
houses; the road reserve; and the 'green'
network for pedestrian movement. The
role of green space in settlement systems is
essentially to enable ecological processes
to continue to occur sustainably and safely
within environments significantly altered
by human action and secondly, to
accommodate a variety of socio-economic
community needs and in some cases to
provide barriers that contain and manage
settlement growth. Active open spaces in
t h e t o w n i n c l u d e t h e s t a d i u m ,
showground, golf course and the courts for
racquet sports. This highlights the
dependency on the Mine beyond just
economic generation.
