Exploring different Geography and Land
Use Types prevalent in South Africa to
determine Enumeration Area (EA) Types
for Census 2011
MacFaden Kotelo
Why?
- To display the correlation between Geography Types,
Land use and Enumeration Area Types

Enumeration Areas
• Small manageable delineations for census information
collection.
• Have specific sizes and rules per type.
• Must have homogenous land use and geographies
(StatsSA).
• Should nest within provincial, municipal and place
names boundaries.
• Updated prior to every census
• They
must be homogenous in land use

Conclusion
• The
South African geography can be classified into three
categories, viz; Farm, Urban and Traditional.
• The delineation of the country into EAs further classifies
these broad Geography types according to the main
activities, functions and sometimes building types.
• These activities and functions tend to change over time
and therefore need to be constantly mapped.
• Hence the need to demarcate Enumeration Areas before
every census.
