AN ANALYSIS
OF LANDUSE CHANGES USING REMOTE SENSING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM
TECHNIQUES
ABSTRACT
The study
was on the investigation of landuse changes between 1965 and 2003 in the
northern part of Kaduna metropolis using remote sensing (RS) and geographic
information system (GIS) techniques. Sources of data were primarily airphotos
of 1965, 1977 and 1992. The air photos were of different scales but the use of
the “dot grid” method helped to consistently identify, sample and estimate
proportions of each airphoto year mosaic that had specific landuse types model
by model. Landuse changes between 1992 photo-year and 2003 were obtained
through digital mapping techniques using Global Positioning System
instrumentation: GPS – “Magellan 315” because air photograph of the area was
not available for this period and Satellite imagery (strip or spot) was very
expensive. The results of the study showed that between 1965 and 1977, and 1992
landuses changed from rural features to those of urban development indices and
very rapidly. Urban residential landuses for example leaped from 62.5ha. in
1965 to 202ha. in 1977 to 392ha., and from 1992 to 507ha. in 2003. Similarly
staggering rises were observed in government owned institutional lands and
commercial services landuses. The rises were rapid and higher between 1992
photo year and the digital mapping of year 2003 than any previous successive
photo years and ranged from 84% for urban road/highway development; for
residential it was 122% to 268% for commercial services. The trend was clearly
from rural to urban landuse development. However, the increases were complex
and confused with ever threatening risks of high magnitude disaster on the leading
edge of urban landuses.
INTRODUCTION
This study is on the application of Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic
Information System (GIS) Techniques to the examination of the nature of landuse
changes in the northern district of Kaduna metropolis from 1965 to 2003.
Population influx to towns and cities often resulte in urban expansion and
sprawling, pushing the urban environment influences into the adjacent rural
lands with attendant changes in landuse types, intensity and landscape quality.
That is how Kaduna metropolis, a former political regional headquarters for
more than half a century, grew. Field observations show that its expansion has
had great impact on the surrounding rural lands. Scanty records both in maps
and written documents were available to show the nature of the changes that had
taken place. Thus, reconstruction of changes in landuse becomes difficult with
probable large errors and speculations. Yet, there is a dire need for an
understanding of the dynamics of landuses on the urban periphery for effective
planning, management and provision of utilities. Nowadays, earth-mapping
technology offers good opportunities for investigating landuse changes that
have taken place in the past. Hence, this study investigates the landuse
changes in the northern part of Kaduna metropolis using Remote Sensing and
Geographic Information System Techniques.
