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.
