The implementation of municipal by-laws in the provision of recreational facilities in Greater Giyani Local Municipality. . .https://univendspace.univen.ac.za/handle/11602/2869MPMThis study was based on the implementation of municipal by-laws in the provision of recreational facilities in Greater Giyani Local Municipality. Municipal by-laws play a crucial role in regulating various aspects of local governance and community life. However, the success of municipal by-laws largely hinges on proper implementation and enforcement by the municipalities. The study was conducted utilizing a qualitative method to explore the complex dynamics at play. The researcher sampled relevant documents, reports, and other secondary sources related to the study to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the impact of municipal by-laws on the provision of recreational facilities. Data was collected through desktop and observations. Desktop research involves the collection and analysis of existing data, information, and resources from various sources without conducting direct interactions or experiments. Through desktop, secondary sources related to the recreational sector were employed. Thematic Analysis was used to analyse data in the study. The results of this study made clear how important by-laws are for promoting social cohesion, nation- building, and environmental protection. They guarantee that recreational areas are accessible to everyone, including those with impairments and lower-income populations. Municipalities may redress historical injustices, advance social justice, and support the region's overall socioeconomic development by making sure that these facilities are accessible and fairly distributed. The recommendations include the alignment of municipal by-laws with these frameworks to guarantee thoughtful placement, equitable distribution, and upkeep of recreational facilities. In order to determine their needs and make sure that the facilities are applicable and extensively used, it is imperative that local communities be involved in the planning process.1 online resource (x, 115 leaves): color illustrations, color mapsenUniversity of VendaBy-law implementationUCTDEnforcementGovernanceLegal complexitiesMunicipal by-lawRecreational FacilitiesDissertationSibanda TJS.
