Abstract

Owing to its climatic conditions and political evolution the Natal Coastal Belt forms a distinct region within South Africa. As such, a unique set of landscapes has evolved reflecting changing agricultural patterns and rapid urban expansion. In addition it has been the meeting place of a variety of peoples each of whom has attempted to build familiar structures and pursue known activities. The result is a highly complex and diverse landscape.
