Yesterday, I made a joint presentation with Ms Elizabeth Hicken on the topic "CASE STUDY: The Sustainability Atlas of the Western Cape 2006". The Atlas is an information tool that has been developed using GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to make out the local municipalities of Western Cape of South Africa, according to some 5 themes under Sustainable Development which includes Human Settlement, Socio-Economics, Natural Resources and Tourism, Biodiversity and Agriculture, and Energy and Climate.
At the end of this national conference, I was informed by the organisers that our presentation was voted by some delegates as the best presentation of the conference. (This is yet to be confirmed). I was also approached by an editor for PositionIT magazine, who requests for a news article from me.
I had a real good time during this 2-day conference on the 3rd and 4th April 2007. We also had lovely views of the beach from the Monkey Valley in Noordhoek in Cape Town (Southern Peninsula).
