Abstract

This study employed the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) technique to investigate the pattern of changes in Land Use/Land Cover (LU/LC) and its impact on Land Surface Temperature (LST) in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. The objectives were to investigate the size of Vegetation, Open Surface and Built-Up land use types in Ado-Ekiti, the State Capital City of Ekiti State in Nigeria from 1988 to 2018 and to know the percentage of changes in the Land Use/Land Cover for 1988, 1999, 2013 and 2018. Four Landsat images of Ado-Ekiti were used in this study. Land Use/Land Cover analysis was carried using ERDAS IMAGINE 9.2 in order to ascertain the areas covered by Vegetation, Open Surface and Built-Up land use types in the study area. Land Surface Temperature values for each of the land use types were extracted from Landsat images of the study area. The results indicated that there was decrease in the size of Vegetation and Open Surface land use types between 1988 and 2018 and there was an increase in the size of Built-Up land use type between 1988 and 2018. The result of the study also revealed that as the size of the Built-Up land use type was increasing, the value of Land Surface Temperature in Ado-Ekiti was also increasing. The study recommended that Government should bring into practice the concept Sustainable City through what is called ‘Green Urbanism’ so as to mitigate the problem of Urban Thermal Discomfort in Ado-Ekiti the Capital City of Ekiti State in Nigeria.
