dc.description.abstract Infrastructure is designed and built to deliver a service, but how well the infrastructure is operated and maintained is a major determinant of how effectively it is able to deliver that service. Despite this, much of the South African infrastructure owned by the public sector is not kept in a good condition. The article describes 25 years of highlevel effort – including the conducting of research, the compilation of guidelines, and the passing of legislation – to improve the condition of public sector infrastructure. Inter alia, it introduces and describes the ‘infrastructure report card’ concept and how that has been applied in South Africa. It also highlights current texts on infrastructure asset management and suggests some examples of infrastructure asset management planning. en_US
dc.description.abstract Infrastruktuur is ontwerp en gebou om ’n diens te lewer, maar hoe goed die infrastruktuur bedryf en onderhou word, is ’n groot bepaler van hoe effektief dit in staat is om daardie diens te lewer. Ten spyte hiervan word baie Suid-Afrikaanse infrastruktuur wat deur die openbare sektor besit word, nie in ’n goeie toestand gehou nie. Die artikel beskryf 25 jaar se hoëvlakpoging – insluitend die uitvoer van navorsing, die samestelling van riglyne en die aanneming van wetgewing – om die toestand van openbare sektor-infrastruktuur te verbeter. Dit stel onder andere die konsep “infrastruktuurverslagkaart” bekend en beskryf hoe dit in Suid-Afrika toegepas is. Dit beklemtoon ook huidige tekste oor infrastruktuurbatebestuur en stel ’n paar voorbeelde van infrastruktuur-batebestuurbeplanning voor. en_US
