摘要：The purpose of the study was to highlight the characteristic features of office parks. The importance of location and accessibility in orderly planning in public interest, the new Development Facilitation Act, Act 67 of 1995 (DFA), as well as, site size and establishment conditions were emphasized. A literature study was done, interviews were conducted, with questionnaires in large cities in South Africa, as office parks have not yet been established in the smaller cities. The conclusion was reached that the typical peripheral location can possibly still move further from the city (with reservations), even to more rural areas to avoid traffic congestion and ensure more pleasant residential areas. In the more rural areas a smaller site can still convey the office park concept, even with higher coverage and floor space ratio (FSR). Finally possible guidelines for urban planners and developers were suggested. *This article is written in Afrikaans.
