ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]In Nigeria, the urban sprawl debate has closely paralleled urban growth trends over the past few decades. Many studies indicate that it is the pattern, density, and rate of new urban growth that create the appearance of sprawl. Population dynamics are often cited as a driving force behind urban sprawl. This thesis uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping and land cover change analysis, neighborhood statistics, community surveying, key-informant interviews with planners and developers, and planning documents to measure sprawl. The study area includes the jurisdictions that comprise the

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]The use of Geographic Information Systems modeling has become quite prevalent within the field of urban sprawl research. Some research on urban sprawl uses GIS as a tool in understanding the effects of urban sprawl on the natural environment. GIS reveals spatial patterns of urban sprawl by measuring distances of new urban growth areas from town centers and roads for example (Gar-On Yeh et al 2001). Because urban development is irreversible, GIS simulates future land development (Lee et al 1998). A Geographic Information System is a decision support system that can facilitate ur ...
