This study presents the analysis of Akure urban land use change detection from remote imagery perspective. Efforts were made to examine the direction that the continuous expansion of the city tends towards since its inception as a state capital in 1976. Using Aerial Imagery Overlay (AIO), the pattern of land use changes in Akure and its environs were determined. This involves imageries interpolation and overlaying to determine the land use changes, direction, and extent of the expansion. Findings revealed unguided expansion in the growth of the city which affects the pattern of land uses within the city and, by extension, into the adjoining settlements. There were incompatible conversions in land uses and undue encroachment into green areas in the adjoining communities. The study suggests effective zoning strategy on unguided nature of urban development whose effects on land use are very prominent in the study area. Adequate monitoring by the Development Control Department and other stakeholders in urban planning is equally suggested to mitigate the incompatible land use changes in the area.

Urban Land Use Change

Land use changes play an important role in interactions between human and physical systems, and have significant impacts on the environment at local, regional and global scales. Land use change is a complex process and so developing dynamic models to represent the process is a challenging task. Decision Trees (DT) is a Machine Learning (ML) method with the capability to extract trends and generate a representative model using historical geospatial data. While DT is used in remote sensing as an image classification method, it is not sufficiently examined in land use science. The main objective of this research study is to examine the capability of DT method to model urban land use change. Various numbers of attributes for three municipalities in the City of Belgrade, Republic of Serbia were used. Land use is represented with nine land use classes for three different time instances for the years 2003, 2007 and 2011. The kappa statistics and weighted Area Under Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC) were used to compare the model outputs with real land use datasets for year 2011. The maximum obtained values for kappa and weighted AUC indicate that DT is a useful method for modelling urban land use change. Furthermore, the derived classification tree generates information about the relationship between the considered causal factors and land use changes and allows for better understanding of the change process.

Urban Land Use Change

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to review the quest for physical development and economic viability which has overshadowed the social aspect of sustainable development that produces a liveable urban settlement in many emerging economies. Many of the urban areas of developing countries are characterized by sporadic/unguided land-use changes as a result of urbanization coupled with poor planning and management of land-use. Unfortunately, these changes are impacting negatively on the social fabric of sustainable and this calls for urgent attention. Methodology: The study is based on an extensive review of literature on land-use changes and social sustainability in both the developed and emerging economies in order to identify gaps in practice and management of urban land development. Main Findings: The results showed that although a considerable investment has been made and enormous efforts geared towards achieving sustainable development in Nigeria urban areas, little or no attention devoted to social sustainability in the planning and execution of these projects has rather led to unsustainable development. Many developmental projects and planning were politicized and thereby jettisoned social sustainability in the process. Implication: It is important that urban land-use change should be appropriately monitored, purposively driven, and stakeholders must be responsive to promoting social sustainability to achieve a wholesome urban development. Novelty: This study to the best of our knowledge is the first attempt that links urban land-use change and social sustainability especially in Nigeria. It has also provided information to guide the land-use planners, the policymakers and other stakeholders towards achieving a wholesome urban land-use development.
