Impacts of Urbanization Rate and Land Cover Change on Urban Farm Land: A Case of Wolayta Zone Sodo Zuria Woreda

Abstract

A reflection of human intervention on urban Agricultural land and degradation in regarding of residential land has a negative impact and also beyond this assumption, an impact of deforestation on urban Agricultural livelihoods was not scientifically studied in most of the southern Ethiopia high lands and their surrounding in particular land in Wolayta zone sodo zuria woreda Therefore, this study focuses on the impact of urbanization rate and land use land cover change detection analysis using Primate and secondary data source with integration (GIS)  Geographic Information System and Remote sensing Method for  managing negative impact on geospatial environment in the context of Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation (ATP) goal of sustainable and balanced land use planning for agricultural economic development livelihood in the study area and evaluation of image classification accuracy can be defined as the process of comparing the classified image with geographic data considered to be accurate and referential typically, the data which the classified image was compared to are ground-truth based on supervised classification . In general, a set of reference shape file has been overlaid as 7 major land use class which are generated over the classified image by AHP method of Computing Eigen vector Matrixes, which is an output of the pair wise comparison matrix to produce a best fit set based on the pixel value land use area listed

Keywords: Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP), Geographic Information System (GIS), LandSat 7 (ETM+) and Eigen vector Matrixes
