Dynamics of Land use Change: A Case Study of Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria

Author(s):

Onosemuode Christopher and Galadima Daniel Habila

Dynamics of landuse change was carried out in Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria to ascertain the level of changes in the land between the period 1997 and 2016. The imageries used include LANDSAT ETM of 1997 and NIGERSAT -1 of 2016. The various classes of landuse adopted are; cultivated area, bare surface, built-up area,
natural vegetation and water bodies. The supervised method of landuse analysis was used in the extraction of the information from the imageries in ArcGis 9.3 environment. The results obtained showed that bare surface accounted for 0.72% in 1997 and increased to 1.91% in 2016, built up area occupy land cover of
2.63% in 1986 and by 2005, it increased to 3.55%, cultivated area covers 27.88% in... view more»
