His thesis: Spaces of participation: A critical analysis of participation in housing projects in WhittleSea, Eastern Cape. The study investigated beneficiary participation in four housing projects in the town of WhittleSea in the Estern Cape. This study makes an important contribution to the understanding of people-centred development processes in under-researched small towns and enhances better understanding of participation in housing projects. Using a qualitive methodological approach, the study found tha government officials played a dominant role as initiators and executors ofthe participatory process, thus limiting stakeholder participation inthe husing projects. The study recomends that government involve communties in the formulation of projects from the outset in order to ensure active beneficiary participation in the development process.
