Recent resettlement programs, as drivers for Afromontane forest loss in the Hawa-Galan district of Ethiopia
Ethiopia has been experiencing resettlement programs primarily as a response to the tragedy of land degradation. The program, however, resulted in massive deforestation in the resettled sites. This study, therefore, aimed at evaluating the impact of resettlement on the moist evergreen Afromontane forest cover between 2000 and 2018 in the Hawa-Galan district. Landsat TM of 2000, ETM+ of 2010, and OLI of 2018 were used to detect forest cover change…
GIS-based potential landfill site selection using MCDM-AHP modeling of Gondar Town, Ethiopia
Selecting an appropriate landfill site is one of the major problems of towns and cities. This study was aimed to map the optimum suitable landfill sites in Gondar town, Ethiopia. To achieve the objectives, a GIS-based multi-criteria evaluation method was employed. Nine-criteria were considered to select appropriate landfill sites. The result of the suitability map shows that about 4.5% of the study area is highly suitable for the landfill site. T…
Impacts of Resettlement Programs on Deforestation of Moist Evergreen Afromontane Forests in Southwest Ethiopia
Severe land degradation and the consequent series of drought and famine episodes have caused major waves of human migration in Ethiopia over the past 5 decades. The main objective of this study was to assess the impacts of consecutive resettlement programs (spontaneous and planned) on the forests in southwest Ethiopia. The spatial distribution and extent of forest cover were mapped for the periods 1957, 1975, and 2007 based on visual interpretati…
A community-based cross-sectional study of the epidemiology of onchocerciasis in unmapped villages for community directed treatment with ivermectin in Jimma Zone, southwestern Ethiopia
There was moderate prevalence of onchocercal infection and onchocercial skin diseases (OSD) in the study area. Result of this study may suggest that the endemicity level of onchocerciasis in the study area was mesoendemic. Hence, intervention using ivermectin treatment should be implemented to reduce the burden of onchocerciasis. Since the majorities of the population had poor knowledge, attitude and practice towards onchocerciasis, inclusion of …
