This study applied GIS and remote sensing technology to assess agricultural land use and vegetative cover in Kano Metropolis. It specifically examined the intensity of land use for agricultural and non agricultural purpose from 1975 – 2015. Images (1975, 1995 and 2015), landsat MSS/TM, landsat 8, scene of path 188 and 052 were downloaded for the study. Bonds for these imported scenes were processed using ENVI 5.0 version. The result indicated five classified features-settlement, farmland, water body, vegetation and bare land. The finding revealed an increase in settlement, vegetation and bare land between 1995 and 2015, however, farmland decreased in 2015. Indicatively, higher percentage of land use for non agricultural purposes was observed in recent time. Conclusively, there is need to accord surveying the rightful place and priority in agricultural planning and development if Nigeria is to be self food sufficient.

Remote sensing technology has been widely applied in various fields, including oil, gas, and mineral exploration, spatial planning, and environmental monitoring. This paper describes the application of remote sensing technology for the potential study of a renewable micro hydropower plant (MHP) using Landsat 8 satellite data. The Sukaati Watershed, West Java, Indonesia, was selected as the case study area. Landsat 8 satellite data, acquired on August 21, 2020, was applied to extract information on land use, geology, and potential landslides. Drainage patterns, watershed boundaries, and head height were obtained from topographic map data. Drainage patterns, watershed boundaries, and land use are used to calculate flow rates. Geological map and landslide are the basis of layout of MHP components, such as water intake, dam, waterway, settling tank, penstock, and powerhouse. A field survey to acquire actual flow rate and head height was conducted to validate the results of the remote sensing data interpretation. Two potential sites of MHP were selected with a hydropower design of 129 kW and 5.18 MW. This study showed that remote sensing technology is beneficial for studying the potential of MHP because fieldwork can be done more quickly and efficiently.

Urban expansion is a dynamic and complex phenomenon, often involving adverse changes in land use and land cover (LULC). This paper uses satellite imagery from Landsat-5 TM, Landsat-8 OLI, Sentinel-2 MSI, and GIS technology to analyse LULC changes in 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020. The research was carried out in Opole, the capital of the Opole Agglomeration (south-western Poland). Maps produced from supervised spectral classification of remote sensing data revealed that in 20 years, built-up areas have increased about 40%, mainly at the expense of agricultural land. Detection of changes in the spatial pattern of LULC showed that the highest average rate of increase in built-up areas occurred in the zone 3–6 km (11.7%) and above 6 km (10.4%) from the centre of Opole. The analysis of the increase of built-up land in relation to the decreasing population (SDG 11.3.1) has confirmed the ongoing process of demographic suburbanisation. The paper shows that satellite imagery and GIS can be a valuable tool for local authorities and planners to monitor the scale of urbanisation processes for the purpose of adapting space management procedures to the changing environment.

Indonesia is an Archipelago Country because the Country of Indonesia consists of many islands stretching from Sabang in the west to the island of Merauke on the east. The Archipelago Country also comes from the old name of the Indonesian Country called Nusantara, because Nusantara is a country that consists of many islands. Indonesia is an Archipelago Country which means it has potential resources in the coastal areas, one of which is found on the northern coast of Java. The coastal area is an important area to be reviewed, one of which is the use of coastal resources by paying attention to the condition of the ecosystem that remains stable. Opportunities for coastal area utilization in the field of fisheries are in the form of fishing activities or fish farming, especially pond cultivation activities. Based on data from the Department of Marine and Fisheries of the Province of Central Java in 2010, pond cultivation is one of the potential resources on the coast. This potential is supported by the government to increase fish production in order to increase the consumption of fish in the community. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the most effective method of pond cultivation between traditional methods and intensive methods to optimize fish production. One indicator of effectiveness between the two methods can be seen from the phytoplankton distribution. Phytoplankton contains chlorophyll-a in the body and is a natural food from fish. Phytoplankton provides important ecological functions for the aquatic life cycle by serving as the basis of food webs in water. Phytoplankton also functions as the main food item in freshwater fish culture and seawater fish cultivation. Therefore, it is necessary to know the chlorophyll-a concentration in the ponds of traditional and intensive methods to determine the concentration chlorophyll-a of the two pond methods. One method used to determine the concentration of chlorophyll-a using remote sensing technology. Remote sensing technology can be used to determine the concentration of chlorophyll-a using the Wouthuyzen, Wibowo, Pentury, Much Jisin Arief and Lestari Laksmi algorithms. The results showed that the Pentury algorithm was relatively better to determine the concentration of chlorophyll-a in shallow waters (ponds). The lowest concentration of chlorophyll-a in traditional ponds is 0.47068 mg/m3, the highest concentration is 1.95017 mg/m3 and the average concentration is 1.12893 mg/m3, while in intensive ponds the lowest concentration is 0.36713 mg/m3, the concentration the highest is 3.17063 mg/m3 and the average concentration is 1.53556 mg/m3.

<p>The climate change causes major problems in natural disasters such as storms and droughts and has significant impacts on agricultural activities. Especially, global warming changed crops cultivated causing changes in agricultural land-use, and droughts along with land-use change accompanied serious problems in irrigation management. Moreover, it is very problematic to detect drought impacted areas with field survey and it burdens irrigation management. In South Korea, drought in 2012 occurred in western area while 2015 drought occurred in eastern area. The drought cycle in Korea is irregular but the drought frequency has shown an increasing pattern. Remote sensing approaches has been used as a solution to detect drought areas in agricultural land-use and many approaches has been introduced for drought monitoring. This study introduces remote sensing approaches to detect agricultural drought by calculation of local threshold associated with agricultural land-use. We used Landsat-8 satellite images for drought and non-drought years, and Vegetation Health Index(VHI) was calculated using red, near-infrared, and thermal-infrared bands. The comparative analysis of VHI values for the same agricultural land-use between drought year and non-drought year derived the threshold values for each type of land-use. The results showed very effective detection of drought impacted areas showing distinctive differences in VHI value distributions between drought and non-drought years.</p>

Ecological Assets

on the basis of the measurement of ecological parameters by using remote sensing technology, combined with ecological method and Landsat–7 ETM +, we made a quantitative measurement of ecological assets of Sanjiang Plain in 2010, got the spatial distribution of ecological assets. The results show that: the value of ecological assets in Sanjiang Plain was 2.35 × 1012 yuan. The value was generally higher in the southern and lower in the northern parts of the study area. Baoqing has the highest sum value and Youyi has the lowest value than other areas. Forestlands have higher value of ecological assets than other land use types. Land use type may be the mainly reason for the spatial difference of ecological assets in Sanjiang Plain.
