- Description: This dissertation puts forward empirical research conducted about the linkages between film and tourism. The aim of the study is to explore the potential opportunities for tourism as a result of the utilisation of the tourism destination for film purposes. The destination is called Nelson Mandela Bay which is situated in the Eastern Cape of South Africa and comprises of Gqeberha, Kariega and Despatch. It is pertinent to note that in South Africa, the cities of Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban are successfully utilising film to promote tourism, however research conducted for government purposes indicates that Nelson Mandela Bay has not utilised this opportunity optimally. In this research a potential strategy for film and tourism in Nelson Mandela Bay is explored through evaluating best practices in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban. This is against the background of international best practices which guide the tourism organisations involved with film in these cities. The research followed a qualitative research approach that utilised interviews and a subsequent focus group discussion to collect data. The findings clearly indicate that film and tourism linkages are present in NMB but that a strategy should be developed for consideration that would guide NMB in terms of capitalising on the relationship between film and tourism. , Thesis (MCom) -- Faculty of Business and Economic Sciences, School of Economics, Development and Tourism, 2024

- Description: In 1994 the new democratic government of South Africa introduced the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) which was aimed at massive infrastructure expansion. Tackling the housing crisis has been encountered by growing demands for low carbon footprint, reduced use of non-renewable resources and as part of the green agenda. In line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the South African government set a variety of objectives aimed at achieving an environmentally sustainable future for all. While South Africa has embraced green economy principles, tested integrated approaches are still to be seen in housing construction. This study sought to explore the greening of Ndlambe green village in the Port Alfred area in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. To achieve the study objectives, a qualitative research approach was used, employing the case study research strategy and primary data was collected by means of focus groups. Community members, engineers, environmentalists and town planners constituted the study sample. Secondary data sources were also used in this study, along with field observation. The collected data was analysed using the thematic analysis technique. Findings from the study revealed that community members perceived Green village initiative as important and is required in South Africa given the challenges that are experienced such as energy consumption load shedding, water shortages. The economic value proposition of green building is measured through two different lenses, namely economic profit and social profit. The municipalities must take a leading role in by forming policies supporting environmentally friendly activities, with building being one crucial area. Recommendations from the study proposed that partnerships involving communities, private companies, the government and other various interest groups are imperative in order to accelerating the green building agenda. The government must be challenges to develop sustainable funding solutions for a green economy. Lastly, increased awareness about green building among the society may also drive better acceptability and ultimately, a strong social reputation. , Thesis (PhD) -- Faculty of Engineering, the Built Environment, and Technology, 2022
