Abstract

The aim of the paper to examine the efficacy of community participation in land use planning and logically conceptualize it. Participation in the society is understood to be the advantage of a group of citizens to engage in matters that express their eventual growth. As a policy to increase community participation at the community level, the current democratic government has implemented comprehensive municipal planning. For the municipality, land use planning has many significances, especially in resolving human settlement debacles, fostering citizen engagement to decide needs and goals, and addressing the historical spatial inequality brought on by apartheid spatial planning. The execution of land use planning, however, has faced several obstacles, including weak cooperation in areas under the jurisdiction of conventional authorities, unlawful land possession and political intervention, among others. The study argues that if land use planning in South Africa can be well integrated and coordinated the spatial justice can be reached and imbalances of the past can be redressed efficaciously. Nonetheless, the study concludes that communities are also upset with their extent of engagement. Despite the many municipalities general success in achieving citizen engagement, there is already an incomplete backlog in civic interaction owing to unethical activities, budget constraints, lack of capacity and improper targeting.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the challenges of employing Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and its impacts on all sectors of society, including the education sector. Transfer of knowledge, which is one of the foundations of learning, is among the most fundamental social achievements of human beings. The concept of moving the traditional classroom of desks, notebooks, pencils, and blackboard to an online forum of computers, software, and the internet intimidates many teachers who are accustomed to the face-to-face interaction of the traditional classroom. Education is viewed as one of the key mechanisms of achieving social transformation. Although educational challenges demand multi-pronged approaches, which may include both traditional teaching approaches and innovative non-digital instructional designs, it is the role of educational technology that is the focus of this paper. South African higher education has considerable strengths. In several areas of learning and teaching, its institutions offer academic programs that produce high-quality graduates with knowledge, competencies, and skills to practice occupations and professions anywhere in the world. It is in this educational context that new opportunities for educational technology have arisen. The paper argues that online education provides an environment where all and often marginalized voices can be heard and also contribute to higher participation of students as well as collaborative learning. The paper concludes that educational technology has a key role to play in South African higher education as one of the strategies for addressing teaching and learning concerns.
