Land use and cover dynamics
Land use/land cover (LULC) change is major driver of soil erosion and sediment yield. This study examined the impacts of LULC dynamics on soil erosion and sediment yield in the Barkana watershed, Northeast Ethiopia, using GIS, remote sensing, the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), and the Sediment Delivery Ratio model. Landsat images from 1993, 2008, and 2023 were classified into six LULC classes, achieving overall accuracies of 87.40–…
Urban expansion and its socio-economic impacts in Ambo Town, Ethiopia
Rapid urbanization in developing countries necessitates the need for effective tools to monitor and assess urban sprawl. This study investigates land use/cover change (LULC) patterns in Ambo Town, identifies key drivers of urban expansion and examines socio-economic impacts. We used GIS models such as support vector machine (SVM) classification. Results indicate agriculture and grassland were dominant initially, covering 33.94% and 41.45%, but de…
Mapping, quantifying and predicting future urban green infrastructure dynamics
Urban expansion and its impacts on the livelihood of peripheral farming households
Urban expansion significantly affects communities in urban, peri-urban, and rural areas. However, literature on its impacts remains scarce, underscoring the necessity for clear policies. A study was undertaken to assess the effects of urban expansion on the livelihoods of farming households in Shinshicho town, Ethiopia, addressing this critical gap. The study employed a descriptive research design using a mixed-method approach, gathering primary …
Drivers and prospects of over-urbanization of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Over-urbanization appears to be one of the distinctive traits of cities of developing countries because population growth surpasses economic development. This study is among the first research in Africa to examine the major drivers and prospects of over-urbanization. We determined the city's Land Support Capacity (LSC), social accommodation capacity, and crowdness using Yeats and Multiple Regression Models. The theoretical frameworks that guide t…
