Therefore, this study is essential to help how university town concept/town dress partnerships can be used as an instrument in government revitalization strategies.
CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW
Introduction
Conceptual framework
Theoretical framework
- New Governance Theory
- Collaboration Planning Theory
The new governance paradigm emphasizes the importance of synergistic partnerships that leverage the strengths of each partner to create win-win partnerships that meet the interests of both stakeholders (de Búrca and Scott 2006; Hess 2007; Rhodes 1996). It is further recognized that the success of the new governance requires skills such as negotiation and persuasion, collaboration and mediation to bring all stakeholders on board in the same goals and objectives.
Characteristics of existing relationships between town-gown stakeholders
2014) state that the four types of township relationships are important indicators of where the university and community relationship stands at a given time. OCTA is a quantitative tool that measures personal and community perceptions of effort and comfort levels on toga relationships.
Roles of the University and Community in the successful development of their
- Roles for the college and university leaders
- The roles of the community
- Sustainable town-gown relationships model by Russo et al (2007)
- Model for developing University Community Partnerships
The literature on university-community partnerships largely suggests that there is no standard approach to building city-municipal partnerships. In order to achieve sustainable partnerships between municipalities, it is necessary to reconcile the conflicting interests of various stakeholders.
Student housing possibilities as a manifestation of town-gown partnerships
Khozei et.al point out that "In the vast body of literature on housing, few studies have focused on student housing preferences". Furthermore, if developed student housing is not properly integrated into the existing communities, negative impacts can occur on the economic, physical, cultural and social life of the host communities (Smith, 2008 cited in DHET 2012).
Case studies on town-gown relationships or university towns
- Case of Clemson University Town, South Carolina, United States
- Case of Stellenbosch Sustainable University Town, South Africa
This committee was composed of an equal number of members from both the university and the city of Clemson. However, Davies & Swilling (2015) argue that the main obstacle to the realization of the University's vision of a university city and its “commitment to appropriate legal instruments and development initiatives” (Stellenbosch 2000:16) has been the relationship between city and dress. were conflicted. As evidenced by the policy statement in Stellenbosch University's 2000 Strategic Framework for the Turn of the Century and Beyond, which states that "the University acknowledges its contribution to the injustices of the past and is therefore committed to appropriate reparations and development initiatives" (Stellenbosch 2000:16).
That these initiatives will form an integral part of the Stellenbosch Municipality Comprehensive Development Plan” (MOU, 2007). The institutional conditions that enable partnership and cooperation between the municipality and the university were made possible mainly by the establishment of the Rector-Executive Mayor Forum in 2005 (Swilling, 2014 cited in Davies and Swilling, 2015:20). This is evidence, as well as a tangible result, of improved cooperation between SU and SM.
Policy Framework in South Africa
- The 1996 National Commission on Higher Education (NCHE 1996)
Attributed to the fact that "the commission does not prescribe in detail how cooperation and partnership should be organized and institutionalized" (NCHE 1996:8). The objectives of the 1997 White Paper 3: A Program for the Transformation of Higher Education, as described in section 1.28(2) at the institutional level, include: "To promote interaction through cooperation and partnership between institutions of higher education and between institutions and all sectors of the wider society." In addition of this in Section 3.4 argues why it is important to form university-community partnerships in South Africa. The challenges of modern societies cannot be met by any one party acting alone…” Thus White Paper 3 of 1997 laid the groundwork for transforming the way universities view partnerships with other stakeholders.
According to Preece, community engagement can be broadly defined as “the collaboration between higher education institutions and their larger communities (local, regional/provincial, national, global) for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity”. Rowe (2011:1) adds that “the call for engagement will only be successful if there is a partnership between higher education institutions (HEIs) and a variety of other community players.” The challenge posed by the success of community engagement stands in the way, as evidenced by the literature, is that there are no standard approaches or frameworks for establishing the required partnerships.

The target population of the University of Venda for the study is 15,931 (Univen Institute of Planning and Quality Assurance (IPQA) 2016). According to Kothari (2004), sampling procedure is defined as "the technique used in selecting subjects for a sample." Thus, stratified random sampling was adopted for this study. Based on the overall assessment that could be ascertained, the researcher was then able to determine the existing town-dress relationships between the University of Venda and Thohoyandou town and its stakeholders.

CHAPTER FOUR: DATA ANALYSIS, PRESENTATION, AND INTERPRETATION
Introduction
Demographic information
Khozaei et.al (2012), claims that "other studies have canonized the influence of the demographic background of respondents on their housing preferences". In order to determine whether they influenced the respondent's choices on their perceptions of the characteristics that student housing should set as a manifestation of toga partnerships. Respondents were asked to indicate their qualification because the study assumed that the level of education has an influence on how they perceive village-toga interactions.
Normality Tests for study constructs

Analysis of the roles that student housing should play as a manifestation of toga partnerships in the community. The correlation coefficients of the remaining variables of roles that student housing should play in the community as a manifestation of toga partnerships scale are presented in Table 4-35.
Characterizing existing town-gown relationships between Univen, Thohoyandou town,
This section presents results on the characteristics of existing city-dress relations from a Univen perspective. This will ultimately also strengthen the relations between Univen, the city of Thohoyandou and its stakeholders. This will also help the university to improve the relationship between Univen, Thohoyandou and its stakeholders.
This shows that from Univen's perspective, the existing city-dress relationships between Univen, Thohoyandou City and its stakeholders are characterized by lower effort and higher convenience as shown in Figure 4-4. Thohoyandou City Community Perspective on Existing City-Cost Relations Table 4-47 shows the descriptive statistics of responses on personal effort, community effort, personal comfort, and community comfort from the Thohoyandou community. This will also increase the satisfaction level of the city-dress relationship between Univen, Thohoyandou City and its stakeholders.
Regression analysis
- Regression analysis: institutional context factors defining successful town-gown
- Regression analysis: factors accounting for building and sustaining successful
This has contributed significantly to the success of their city-garment relationships over time (ICIC, 2002). These results suggest that in order to effectively develop successful partnerships between municipalities, the university should play its RU5 role. These results suggest that the institutional context factor RU6 is important in influencing the development of successful partnerships between urban outfits.
The study hypothesized that there are several critical factors that make up the building and maintenance of successful city-clothing relationships. These results suggest that these factors are not important in influencing the success of city-dress relationships. However, Russo et.al (2007) argues that in order to develop successful partnerships with urban clothing several factors must be considered.
Student housing possibilities as a manifestation of town-gown partnerships
- Factors essential for the development of student housing as a manifestation of
- Preference of the characteristics that student housing should possess as
- Perspective on role of student residences in the community
Student housing opportunities as a manifestation of city-gown partnerships The study hypothesized that the successful development of innovative and collaborative city-gowns. First, 58.9% of respondents strongly agree, while 1.5% strongly disagree that the community and the university should work together to address student housing problems (SH1). The results of this study revealed that the nature of existing city-dress relationships influences about 84% of views on student housing opportunities as a manifestation of city-dress partnerships between Univen, Thohoyandou City and its stakeholders, with R-Square of equal to 0.840 (see Table 4-62, below).
Sustainable city-dress relationships (STGR) were found to positively influence (β=1.841) the development of student housing as a manifestation of city-dress partnerships. These results suggest that for the development of student housing as a manifestation of city-dress partnerships there should be positive city-dress relationships between Univen, Thohoyandou City, and its stakeholders. It is important to know about the preferred characteristics of student housing considering this student housing development potential as a manifestation of city partnerships between Univen, Thohoyandou City and its stakeholders.
Chapter summary
The results from Table 4-71 show that the regression equation fits well in predicting that the roles student housing will play as a contributing member of the urban fabric of the given community is determined by the nature of city-gown relationships.

Regarding the role of city dress stakeholders in the successful development of their partnerships. It was also found that the nature of city-gown relationships has a positive (β=1,841) influence on the development of student housing as an expression of city-gown partnerships. Such initiatives should integrate the interests of both the university and the community to develop successful city-to-city partnerships.
The nature of existing university-community relationships influences perceptions of student housing opportunities as an expression of city-toga partnerships. The study recommends that the university fulfill the following institutional context roles to promote the development of successful city-gown partnerships. This chapter also provided the conceptual research model for establishing successful city-dress partnerships between Univen, the city of Thohoyandou and its stakeholders.
