Personal privacy issues are relevant to the GIS community. The distribution and dissemination of personal data is greatly facilitated through GIS tools. The use of these tools has been expanded from traditionally geographical operations to applications in geodemographics, and it is particularly in geodemographics where the protection of privacy becomes an issue. This thesis examines existing privacy protection guidelines put forward by international commercial and governmental sectors; the current international position with regards to the protection of privacy is reviewed, and South African legislation pertaining to these issues is explored. On this basis, a set of privacy protection guidelines is developed which can assist GIS managers in South Africa in ensuring that data collection and management do not infringe on personal privacy. 2016-01-02T04:17:07Z 2016-01-02T04:17:07Z 1998 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/16086 eng application/pdf Division of Geomatics Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
