Bibliography: p. 136-139. === As a consequence of increasing development pressure and demands on the Liesbeeck Black River Confluence Area (hereafter referred to as the Confluence Area), the Cape Town City Council (CCC), which has the responsibility for land-use planning in the Confluence Area (CA), recognised the need for a focused land-use study to be undertaken. Preliminary baseline information therefore, was collected by the Environmental and Geographical Science Masters class and is presented in the environmental baseline study (MPhil class, 1994).This is an individual study that serves to review and assess the baseline information. It aims to provide general recommendations for future land-use planning in the CA, which optimise the inherent environmental capabilities of the area. It attempts to present to the decision-makers and land-use planners a holistic environmental information base for more··informed land-use planning.
