    ANALYSIS OF URBAN GROWTH USING REMOTE SENSING AND GIS TECHNIQUES IN KABONG, JOS NORTH LG A, PLATEAU STATE.
    (Department of Environmental Management, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2021-03-03) Alkali, Mohammed; Anzaku, I.M.; Lay, Usman S.; Maren, M.S.
    This research work examine the analysis of urban growth using remote sensing and GIS Techniques in Kabong, Jos North L. G.A, Plateau State, Nigeria. Data for the study were sourced from the primary and secondary data source. The finding of the study revealed that the most substantial change was the transformation of vacant barren land and rock outcrop to imperious built-up areas. Classification results shows the built up cover increased from 24462(9.8) in 1998 to 552.69 Ha922.2%) in 2008 to 2018 to 1071.27Km2 (143.18). results present that among the changes in Kabong increase in built up area from 9% to 43.18% and decreased off bare surface and vacant land had serious changes on the landscape as presented on the maps, the main changes of land use in these areas can be described as other type of land use covering into urban land, it is recommended that proper monitoring of the pattern and rate of urban expansion should be adhere strictly so as to achieve sustainable urban development.
