Higher education institutions are entrusted with the responsibility of training future workforces that are well equipped to function in the age of the 4th industrial revolution (4IR). This role is pertinent in light of growing concerns that with the advent of 4IR, mobile technology and robotics would take over certain roles that are currently performed by humans. Using the case of Goedverwacht community service-learning project in the Western Cape province of South Africa, this paper demonstrates ways in which mobile technology is embraced and applied in urban and regional planning education at Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT). The purpose of the service-learning collaboration between the Goedverwacht community and CPUT was to produce a spatial map depicting property boundaries so that the community could, amongst others, be ready for the imminent land tenure reform processes. With the input and guidance of community members, the map was compiled through the use of mobile and allied technology, including global positioning system-enabled smartphones, drones and mobile geographic information system.

通过移动技术弥合城市和区域规划的技术和社会能力之间的鸿沟：开普半岛理工大学为例

高等教育机构肩负着培训未来劳动力的责任，这些劳动力在第四次工业革命（4IR）时代可以正常运作。鉴于人们越来越担心，随着4IR的出现，移动技术和机器人技术将接替人类目前扮演的某些角色，因此该角色具有相关性。本文以南非西开普省的Goedverwacht社区服务学习项目为例，演示了在开普半岛理工大学（CPUT）中采用移动技术并将其应用于城市和区域规划教育的方法。Goedverwacht社区与CPUT之间的服务学习合作的目的是制作描述财产边界的空间地图，以便社区可以，除其他外，为即将到来的土地所有制改革做好准备。在社区成员的投入和指导下，通过使用移动和相关技术（包括启用了全球定位系统的智能手机，无人机和移动地理信息系统）编制了地图。
