    GIS AS A TOOL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOL MAPPING
    (FACULTY OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES, UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN, 2019-04-29) Ipadeola, Ademuyiwa Oyedapo; Abdulyekeen, A.O.; Olatunde, Gbemisola
    The paper focuses on using GIS as a tool for sustainable development in public secondary school mapping of Ilorin west local government area of Kwara State, Nigeria. The purpose is to map and carry out geospatial analysis of the public secondary schools in the study area to enable effective and efficient planning and management of the public secondary schools in a sustainable manner. This has been achieved through identification of the public secondary schools in the study area, mapping of the schools through the satellite imagery and global positioning system (GPS) technology, generating the attribute data of the schools, creation of GIS database for the schools and finally carry out geospatial analysis of the school data. The base map of the study area was obtained using SAS planet software package. The school addresses were obtained from the Kwara State ministry of education while the geospatial locations were obtained by field observations using GPS receivers and the attribute data through the administration of questionnaires and interviews with major stakeholders of the schools. A GIS database was created, the spatial and attribute data encoded, and geospatial analysis carried out including production of relevant maps using QGIS software. The resulting school location, student gender ratio, staff-student ratio, year of establishment and school type maps provides stakeholders with relevant maps and working environment for data management and also allows efficient query of information needed for decision making that would aid in sustainable development of the schools and education sector

    LAND SUITABILITY FOR RICE CROP FARMING IN KWARA STATE USING GIS-BASED MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION ANALYSIS
    (Journal of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences, 2021) Babalola, Ayo; Mohammed, O. IDREES; ANIYIKAYE, Ruth K.; AHMADU, HUSSEIN ADOMU; Ipadeola, Ademuyiwa Oyedapo
    This study employs GIS-based multi-criteria decision approach to identify suitable areas for cultivating rice crop in Kwara State, Nigeria, using essential climatic, soil, terrain and environmental variables selected based on FAO framework for land evaluation. Weights indicating the relative importance of each variable was determined using Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). The criteria, their weights and constraints were integrated in GIS environment to produce suitability map, classified into five levels of suitability (Very highly suitable, highly suitable, moderately suitable, low suitable and not suitable) using weighted overlay operation. The result indicates that 9.7% (343803.75 ha) of the total land area is unsuitable for cultivating rice while 14.6% (516169.46 ha) is classified as low suitable area. The moderately suitable, highly suitable and very highly suitable classes occupy 30.8% (1091145.20 ha), 40.56% (1436504.55 ha) and 4.4% (154408.94 ha), respectively. Quantitative assessment of the work yields overall accuracy (area under the ROC curve) of 0.97 (97%). Based on the findings of this study, we recommend that the state land use planning agency review zoning mechanism, incorporates grassroots participatory land use planning policy and evaluate suitable land for other essential crops by incorporating GIS in order to sufficiently allocate lands for optimal utilization
