Résumé : The initial zoning project took place in April 1998 with a focus on a limited area (only 6 Magisterial Districts). The idea of conducting such a project was brought forward after conducting various socio-economic studies in the local area of Kambashe. The zoning must enable a better interpretation of the results obtained in Kambashe area, by situating Kambashe in its environment, by identifying the main basis of organisation of the regional layout and the flows of money, population and products. Furthermore, highlighting the diversity of the situations allows one to envisage the validation or the adaptation to a wider area of the knowledge acquired in Kambashe, in particular the elaboration of a regional typology of households. It was first decided to test out a methodology elaborated in Brazil on six magisterial districts (Peddie, Middledrift, King William's Town/Zwelitsha, East London, Komga, Keiskammahoek). The initial survey and analysis phase involved all the people taking part in the Kambashe project (ECDALA, ARDRI, ARC, UP, INRA, CIRAD and IFAS). As the results proved worthwhile, it was then decided to extend the study area (phase 2) to the whole of the Amatola District and to design a planning tool from the results. It was also deemed that a study of the Amatola would provide us with results that might be applicable to the Eastern Cape as a whole as this District Council, due to its central geographical position within the Province, encompasses the three main elements: - Commercial farming areas, - The Southern and Central part of former bantustan of Ciskei, - The Western part of the former bantustan of Transkei. Training played a key role in the whole project. The use of the methodology had to be mastered by a number of people in order for such an exercise to be replicated in other areas when necessary. Therefore, two junior economists from ECDALA where included in the project team and a geography student from Fort Hare also took part in the enterprise. A junior staff from ARC's Development Impact Analysis Group also joined the team for a couple of weeks. A training manual explaining the methodology used and using concrete examples from the South African case study has been made available.
