- Description
- This Working Paper investigates various population estimates for Rini to show the range of results which can arise by using different methods or different basic figures. These population estimates include those reflected in a report by the Centre for Social Development (January, 1989); the records of the Grahamstown Municipal Health Department, which records births, deaths and total population; and a recent report prepared by consulting engineers to the Rini Council (Ninham Shand, 1987). Apart from these estimates, other indicators such as the number of registered pensioners; the amount of water utilised in Rini; and the sewage output from Rini, are also considered as possible alternative or supplementary sources of information for assessing the total population. The main emphasis of this paper, though, is to investigate the methods used in, and the results derived from, a socio-economic survey carried out by the Grahamstown Joint Management Centre (JMC) in 1988 on instructions from the CPA and a firm of town planners. This survey determined the population to be 38 096.
