Abstract

The results and information obtained from analysis in this study using Satellite Imagery and Geospatial techniques has shown that it is possible to effectively monitor the changing landuse trends and patterns and other developments within the study area over the years. Desired analyses and inferences were also carried to achieve specific goals. It also demonstrated the type and extent of land use or land cover at various times within the study area. The application of satellite imagery is a useful method for the fast collection of information to assess the dynamic changes of natural objects, natural resources and of the earth surface in general. GIS will continue to be a valuable tool when decisions must be made quickly and lives are to be affected. Therefore, well informed investments in the establishment and running of satellite ground stations and the GIS technology can only be a rewarding enterprise, now and in the future. It is obvious at a glance to see that Eti-osa Local Government has undergone a series of change in Land use and land cover area within the past few years. Though economically viable, it however raises environmental concerns on its effect on the ecosystem, drainage and vegetation of that area. The result as shown on the satellite images for those two periods has demonstrated a drastic change in the distribution of the three main features which we studied i.e Built-up area, Undeveloped area and water bodies with the quota of built up area going higher. This can be seen as a high rise in the state of urbanization as witnessed in other cities around the world. From the charts plotted for the varying landuse types and its percentage coverage, it is noticed that the undeveloped land mass has decreased with an increase in built up area. This is attributed to the increase in development (the built up areas) and an increase in commercial activities over the years leading to a continuous decrease in the undeveloped area. The water bodies too are affected as there is massive land reclamation and sand filling projects going on around the local government.
