- W3160908672 abstract "Urban areas are important social, economic, political and industrial centers. Rapid urban growth in Africa is creating seriouseconomic, social and environmentalchallenges. Apar t from determining the rate of urban growth, previous studies on urban landcover change inYola North Local Government Area did not address the relationship between urban growth, economic anddevelopment indices like per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Human Development Indices (HDI). This study is imedat analyzingurban growth rate over a 28 year period (1988-2016).The study used 3 Landsat satellite image scenes (1988, 2002and 2016), urban growth pattern, economic, and human development indices. The satellite imagery were classified using themaximum likelihood algorithm in QGIS software. Simple descriptive statistics was used to analyze changes in urban area overthe separate period and then compared with annual data on per capita GDP and HDI. Landscape expansion index was used todetermine the urban growth pattern.Result show that urban land cover increased from one tenth of the total land area in 1988 toone fourth of the land area in 2016. Periphery (edge) expansionis the dominant pattern of urban growth during this period.Simple comparison between urban growth rate, per capita GDP and HDI indicates a sharp contrast between the former two andthe later. Many newly developed areas lack basic infrastructure such as roads, pipe borne water and drainages. Based on thefindings, it was concluded that urban growth in the study area is unsustainable since increase in per capita GDP does nottranslate to increase in HDI and the provision of basic infrastructure. These economic and human development indices mighthave contributed to the pattern of urban growth in the form of edge expansion identified in this study. It is recommended thatauthorities should invest more on urban infrastructure and the promotion of outlying pattern of urban development." @default.
