Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa today is facing many social and welfare problems. Three of which are very prominent: named HIV/Aids; unemployment; and sexual and/or violent crimes against woman and children. With churches being some of the biggest and most influential nongovernmental organizations in the country, government is increasingly acknowledging that churches have a very important role to play in order to help curb social and welfare problems in the community. One inhibiting factor keeps churches from playing the role that government is expecting of them: the roles and expected roles of churches have not been quantified sufficiently. A geographical information system was chosen to help in this process of quantification. Previous studies related to GIS being used by social and welfare services showed that this software give these service agencies a powerful new way to analyse services in relation to clients and the communities in which they operate. The crux throughout the study is the process by which it is shown how a GIS can be used and is central from the process of data gathering, storing and manipulation of the gathered data, deriving information from it, through to communicating and visualising the obtained results. Key words: geographical information systems; GIS; ArcGIS; Statistica; Microsoft Access; church; NGO; social services; social problems; welfare services; welfare problems; data base; data base management systems; geodatabase; Factor Analysis; quantification
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hedendaagse Suid Afrika is daar 'n menigte van sosiale en maatskaplike probleme. Drie van die prominentste van die probleme is MN/Vigs, werkloosheid en seksuele en/of geweldsmisdade teen vroue en kinders. Kerke is van die grootste en mees invloedryke nieregeringsorganisasies in Suid Afrika. Die regering besef al meer dat kerke 'n belangrike rol kan speel in die aanspreek van die sosiale en maatskaplike probleme van die land. Daar is egter 'n inhiberende faktor wat kerke daarvan weerhou om dié rol te speel wat die regering van hul verwag; en dit is die feit dat die rol wat kerke speel, en die rol wat die publiek verwag kerke moet speel, nog nie gekwantifiseer is nie. 'n Geografiese inligting stelsel is gekies om te help in die proses van kwantifisering. Vorige studies waar daar gekyk is na die gebruik van GIS deur sosiale en maatskaplike dienste het aangedui dat die sagteware hierdie dienste 'n effektiewe en innoverende wyse gee waardeur hul dienste ontleed en gemonitor kan word. In die studie word gewys hoe 'n GIS gebruik kan word en sentraal is in die prosesse van data insameling, stoor en manipulasie van die ingesamelde data, hoe data omgesit word in inligting en laastens die kommunikasie en visualisering van die resultate wat verkry word.

Full textIn the second half of the nineteenth century, society and the catholic church in Brazil experienced a period of great changes. In that period, Father Ibiapina, as a missionary, implemented and developed numerous social works. He characterized his work with a certain charism and in a short period of time, working in groups, constructed a significant number projects in the interior of five northeastern provinces. Through community participation, Ibiapina distributed responsibilities and generated enthusiasm that would lead to welfare services in the communities. He did this with the idea that each community, together with the church, could assume their responsibilities of their own social problems and solve them accordingly to their own possibilities. Sensitive to the regional problems of the brazilian northeast, he made Houses of Charity the base of his activities, especially promoting woman, qualifying them through educational, religious and professional training. Following his missionary project, Ibiapina defined his understanding, by employing religion and its possibilities, bringing social and economical benefits to the rural population, his principle object. Related to a living faith in God, translated in activities, his social works assembled populations that were before scattered and made concrete something more than merely material constructions. All of this established his missionary life as a symbol of achievements and benefits, expressing that an ideal can bring forth to a precarious social reality, existing in a certain time and in a certain society.
