This thesis examined the changes in land use in the Akwapim South District where agriculture has undergone significant changes since the 1930s when cocoa farms were destroyed as a result of the invasion of swollen shoot disease. The methodological approach explored Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as tools for investigating the phenomenon. Aerial photographs of 1972n 4 and Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite images of 1985 and 1991 supported the analysis of changes in the land use pattern. 'Ground truthing' was then conducted to validate the findings. The analysis showed that the change in agricultural land use have not been uniform over the entire landscape during the period under study. They are more pronounced towards the central, north, and northeast where most commercial farms are sited.
