SECTION B : 25 marks Question 4: Read the text below carefully before you answer the questions that follow. People have inhabited South Africa for at least 8000 years and have used the natural resources for food, shelter, energy and other needs. The ways people have used and managed the environment have changed over the years. In the last century the population has grown quickly, reaching a current total of over 52 million. More people create a greater demand on the natural resources and on the environment. It also increases the amount of waste and pollution. There has also been a mass movement of people to urban areas, both from rural areas and from other countries. This concentrates the pressures of the environment and can lead to problems of sanitation, pollution and crime, directly affecting human health and quality of life. Because people are dependent on the natural environment for meeting all their needs, the interactions between them and the environment cannot be separated. It is important to study the impact of using resources and to find the best way of managing the situation so that human and environmental needs can be met, now and in the future.
