Die toepassing van sentrale plekteorie op die keuse van dorpe in Owambo

Abstract

Due to its isolation and the fact that very little urban development has taken place it was necessary in the for­mulation of a development plan for Owambo, SWA/Namibia, to consider and make recommendations regarding a framework for the location of urban centres together with a comprehensive road network system. Primarily be­cause of the prevailing flatness of the area these systems were developed on the basis of an application of classical central place theories. The proposed urban centres are intended to serve as foci for the provision of services, and as nodes for future towns.
