Description
ABSTRACT
The main drivers that altered the character of land use/cover in the study area were oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) activities, demographic factors, infrastructural development, agricultural practices and economic factors. Markov model was used in projecting land use/cover change for 10, 20 and 30 year periods. Results of the land use/cover projection in Oben Area show an increase trend in built up and woodland/rangeland areas at the expense of forests and water cover. Suggestions are made at the end of this research work on ways to use the information as contained herein optimally.
