Abstract
Considering peri-urban land use change impact on agricultural land uses, there is need for a global check (environmental, ecological, physical, and climatic) particularly in spatio-temporal terms, to ensure that the rate of loss of agricultural land in peri-urban areas is reduced to the barest minimum or well managed. This study thus considered that a variety of methodologies exists for determining the extent of changes that occurs in land uses, most especially in terms of accuracy to enhance land use decision making. Amongst these methods include those of Serneels and Lambin (2001) using spatial statistical model, Dubovyk, Sliuzas, and Flacke (2011) explored the change using spatio-temporal modeling of informal settlements, and Orenstein, Bradley, Albert, Mustard, and Hamburg (2011) quantified a pattern of built space using different spatial data. This research adopted a GIS overlay as posited by Alkema, Bijker, Ali, Zoltan, and Wouter (2012); Erener, Düzgün, and Yalciner (2012); Estoque and Murayama (2011); Lu, Mausel, Brondizio, and Moran (2004); Orenstein et al. (2011). In conclusion the authors agree that other methodologies for detecting land use change could still be adopted to determine accurate extent of change that occurs in land use, however this method remains a distinct type.
