- Description
- This research study is qualitative and cross-sectional in nature. Programme management by South African city governments is investigated and evaluated, as related to inner-city decay and problem (derelict; hijacked; dilapidated; overcrowded) buildings. A case study approach, focusing on the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, is utilised to understand the phenomenon, and to answer the research question. The significant challenge of inner-city and central business district problem buildings in major South African cities has prompted the study; no scientific research has previously been conducted or published on this topic The study started out with this research question, asked in a case study context: to what extent are programmes dealing with inner-city problem buildings and decay managed effectively by city government in South Africa? In the literature review the researcher focused on programme management theory, emphasising the usefulness of project management principles and practice in public sector programme management contexts. In a subsequent chapter the applicable constitutional and legislative frameworks were presented. The researcher developed, as outcome, strategic remedial legal options available to city governments when dealing with transgressing owners of problematic buildings. Problem building by-laws were dealt with in detail. A qualitative research approach, including semi-structured in-depth interviews with political and managerial leaders at the case study city government, assisted the researcher in effective data generation. Data analysis was performed with vigour, based on thematic content analysis.relevant coding practices were utilised in analysis and interpretation of data.
