Update the Settlement Map

Ref: https://github.com/kartoza/WBR-SEMP/issues/51

• [x] Clean up Figure 16
• [x] Can we retain basic “background format” agreed in Fig 13 & again Fig 15, & then superimpose town & village names. The NE section has high density of villages – maybe a separate map?
• [x] Also another map Of human density gradation???
• [x] Acquire settlement data

Data Source: http://www.sasdi.net/metaview.aspx?uuid=1f9572f479060bd3b956604e1ad52ed2 The dataset contains mesozones with the South African functional settlement typology. Data Providers: The typology dataset was developed by the CSIR as part of the National Spatial Trends Overview project (2008-2009) commissioned by the South African Cities Network.

Could not acquire clean human density graduation datasets. Most of them are raster datasets that are broken. The CSIR dataset, acquired for the settlement map, contains a field with census 2011 population information. Will suffice?

Looks good to me, altho I wonder about the automated bins _ I would be more tempted to use 0 1 - 500 501 - 1000 1001 - 2000 2001 - 5000 5001 - 10000 etc ...

Yes definitely use cleaner bins, even better would be five quantile categories, with nice rounded boundaries.

And for typology a colour gradient is not correct.

In both the above maps we have now lost the Proposed WBR boundaries - can you please put in the polygon boundary for proposed WBR in each map. Thanks. I am also not convinced by the bin cut-offs, but it shows the pattern, so lets leave for now

Settlement Type

Population

I am not quite sure on how the boundary zones fit with the two maps, there is a bit of a clutter
