520 3 a| The purpose of this study is to provide an analysis of the urban development, specialization, and functional classification which is an integral part of the urban system of the Republic of South Africa; that is a national or regional organization of cities which are functionally inter-related. The Europeans (British and Dutch) found an inhabited area when they first arrived in South Africa. The resulting conflict of two European elements intensified the interior settlement of South Africa. The urban system gradually became crystalized with the discovery and exploitation of the vast mineral wealth of South Africa, the setting of transportation, and the recent development of manufacturing. The urban system as it exists today was established almost entirely by the European segment of the population. However, Bantu, the largest group of people in South Africa, provided a special element in the urban system as a source of cheap labor. After an introductory note concerning the urban hierarchy, an analysis of the urban system is made. This makes possible a comparison to other economically advanced areas and brings out the peculiar nature of the urban system. Seven functions of the urban hierarchy are analyzed. They are: mining, manufacturing. Wholesale and retail trade, motor trade, other commerce (finance), transport, and services. The study employs two quantitative methods that objectively establish criteria for urban analysis. Firstly, the minimum requirements method identifies the boundary between basic and nonbasic economic activity and thereby establishes a point of reference which determines the viability of an urban area. The specialization index (an aspect of the minimum requirements method) measures the precise degree or level of specialization experienced by each magisterial district. The resulting specialization index indicates a high degree of specialization in large cities in South Africa due to the association of mining activity with highly populated areas. The multifunctional classification, the second method, enables one to determine which magisterial districts are specialized in each function and to what degree. The relative importance of mining and manufacturing and their close association are indicated by applying this method. Also, the Bantu element of the population is found to create an abnormally high amount of service activity. The location of the magisterial districts specialized in each of the seven functions studied is shown on maps. The main industrial areas of South Africa are: the Cape area, the Southern Coast (Port Elizabeth-East London), the Durban area, and the Witwatersrand. The spatial distribution of the industrial-urban system is analyzed by utilization and comparison of the above quantitative methods.;

Summary	The purpose of this study is to provide an analysis of the urban development, specialization, and functional classification which is an integral part of the urban system of the Republic of South Africa; that is a national or regional organization of cities which are functionally inter-related. The Europeans (British and Dutch) found an inhabited area when they first arrived in South Africa. The resulting conflict of two European elements intensified the interior settlement of South Africa. The urban system gradually became crystalized with the discovery and exploitation of the vast mineral wealth of South Africa, the setting of transportation, and the recent development of manufacturing. The urban system as it exists today was established almost entirely by the European segment of the population. However, Bantu, the largest group of people in South Africa, provided a special element in the urban system as a source of cheap labor. After an introductory note concerning the urban hierarchy, an analysis of the urban system is made. This makes possible a comparison to other economically advanced areas and brings out the peculiar nature of the urban system. Seven functions of the urban hierarchy are analyzed. They are: mining, manufacturing. Wholesale and retail trade, motor trade, other commerce (finance), transport, and services. The study employs two quantitative methods that objectively establish criteria for urban analysis. Firstly, the minimum requirements method identifies the boundary between basic and nonbasic economic activity and thereby establishes a point of reference which determines the viability of an urban area. The specialization index (an aspect of the minimum requirements method) measures the precise degree or level of specialization experienced by each magisterial district. The resulting specialization index indicates a high degree of specialization in large cities in South Africa due to the association of mining activity with highly populated areas. The multifunctional classification, the second method, enables one to determine which magisterial districts are specialized in each function and to what degree. The relative importance of mining and manufacturing and their close association are indicated by applying this method. Also, the Bantu element of the population is found to create an abnormally high amount of service activity. The location of the magisterial districts specialized in each of the seven functions studied is shown on maps. The main industrial areas of South Africa are: the Cape area, the Southern Coast (Port Elizabeth-East London), the Durban area, and the Witwatersrand. The spatial distribution of the industrial-urban system is analyzed by utilization and comparison of the above quantitative methods.
