Summary:: "This CD-ROM is a commented edition of a geo-referenced database for one century of demographic and administrative follow-up of localities, cities and territories in South Africa. The DYSTURB database collates, harmonises and inter-relates over time the following different elements: a set of political, administrative and functional maps of the districts, provinces and urban areas; the demographic and administrative data for all South African localities from 1911. In all, the 20 000 geo-referenced localities of the 2001 census are put in perspective in terms of spatio-temporal parameters, demographic history and urban dynamics, through post-colonial, apartheid and post-apartheid periods. DYSTURB has a threefold purpose: it is a tool enabling the study of spatial and territorial archaeology, of historical demography and of urban dynamics. It is backed up by a series of maps and commentaries that have been developed for the CD-Rom"--Container.
