Abstract
Environmental managers are interested to know landuse/land cover types and their change detection in time series for sustainable land management. Remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) are now providing new tools for advanced ecosystem management. This paper describes the use of remote sensing and GIS in mapping landuse/land cover (LU/LC) in the Gagas river basin between 2000 and 2015, to detect the changes that have taken place in this status between these periods. Subsequently, an attempt was made at projecting the observed landuse/land cover in the next 15 years. In achieving this, land utilization rate and land absorption coefficient were generated to aid in the quantitative assessment of the change. The result of the work shows rapid growth in built-up land between 2000 and 2015. LANDSAT satellite data of the Gagas river basin area is used to detect LU/LC changes between 2000 and 2015 during the period of 15 years the change in land resources utilization and absorption is detected. LU/LC changes occur due to either natural or anthropogenic reasons.
