Investigation Of Trespassing And Irregularities In Physical Planning Using Remote Sensing And Geographic Information System (Case Study: Nyala City)

Abstract Urban planning need to be regulated by laws , and in the sudan there are adequate laws, but the problem lies in inspection of the building construction as stated in the law which based on direct field work ,that need many financial and human resources . As the matter of lack of these resources the problem of the urban planning increase the spread of urban planning problems , such as trespassing on public area and roads . Digital technique of remote sensing and geographical informati...

A Comparison of Depth Interpolation by Using GIS & Neural Networks

Depth measurement is Considered as a first goal in hydrographic survey, it depends on different techniques and instruments, it’s most costly procedures. However; some mathematical models are used for condensing depths with a relatively low cost. Artificial neural networks appears and in many applications used to solve real-world forecasting, classification and function approximation problems. It is fast, intelligent and easy to use Neuro Intelligence supports all stages of neural net...

Land Use And Land Cover Changes Detection In Abakilikimetropolis And Its Environs From 1986 To 2014 Using Remote Sensing And Geographic Information System.

ABSTRACT This project examines the use of GIS and Remote Sensing in mapping Land Use Land Cover in Abakiliki between 1986 and 2014 so as to detect the changes that has taken place between these periods. Subsequently, an attempt was made at overlaying the observed land use land cover in those epoch time. In achieving this, Land Consumption Rate and Land Absorption Coefficient were introduced to aid in the quantitative assessment of the change. The result of the work shows rapid growths in buil...

Modelling Traffic Congestion Using Analytic Hierarchy Process In A Geomatics Environment, A Case Of Lagos State

1.0 BACKGROUND Many of the metropolitan traffic management control centres established in 1970's and 1980's in the Western and Asian countries have been replaced by large wall-mounted maps with Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) displays. This is done in order to achieve optimal transportation systems. The capability of GIS to map and define the geometric relationship between spatial entities (topology), overlay separate entities of the same theme, and to handle data of different formats ha...

The Method Of Simulated Annealing For The Optimal Adjustment Of The Nigerian Horizontal Geodetic Network

ABSTRACT The Horizontal Geodetic Network of Nigeria is made up of terrestrially arranged chains of triangles augmented by precise traverses. The work on the network began early 19th century but by 1930 the work was discarded and a re-observation of the network was carried out to the highest possible accuracy then, enhanced with high order geodimeter traverses which linked to other neighboring African networks. The full network consists of 515 stations, with 2411 observations which comprise 21...

A Least Squares Collocation Method Of Geoid And Datum Determination For Nigeria

ABSTRACT A geodetic datum in Nigeria is ill-defined, hence a redefinition is necessary.

Frequency of change in construction project cost in Kaduna metropolise Nigeria

Abstract This project research assessed the frequency of change in construction project cost in Kaduna metropolis Nigeria. Change was characterised by escalation, discrepancies, overrun and variation of budgeted sum caused by factors like Fluctuation of prices, Shortage of Materials/ Scarcity, Delay in completion, Government policy and officials, Dependency on imported materials, Project fraud and corruption etc., while construction project cost comprises of the cost of labour, cost of materi...
