Assessment of land use and land cover change in
Finote Birihan kebele, Amhara region, Ethiopia

Abstract-
A small scale changes in land use and land cover (LULC) in different part of the planet has a substantial contribution
for the regional or global LULC changes. The combined effect of these changes could also result a global impact on the natural
as well as the human environment. To make informed planning and management decisions in addressing these adverse impacts,
in-deep knowledge and information on the local scale changes require an immediate attention. This study aimed to investigate
the extent and magnitude of LULC changes in Finote Birihan kebele, Ethiopia from 1986 to 2018 using Geographic information
system (GIS) and remote sensing approaches. It is found that in the current study area, agriculture land and built-up area has
increased by about 37 and 497%, respectively at the expense of grassland (55%), forest land (33%) and shrub lands (32%).
Keywords: LULC change, Geographic information system, Natural environment, Remote sensing
Finote Birihane,

I. INTRODUCTION
Land use and land cover (LULC) change is a worldwide challenge influencing local to global environment [1]–[5]. Human
beings had been degraded and changed the land and its resources in a variety of ways for their existence (Vitousek et al. 1997;
Lambin et al. 2003). Changes in land-use and land-cover in most cases may pose a big threat on the ecosystem and its fragile
components [2], [4], [6], [7].
Changes in land use from forest to agriculture have become a major problem in developing countries including Ethiopia
owing to rapid population growth and its subsequent resource scarcity [3].
Like other regions of Ethiopia, in recent decades Finote Birihan kebele (“Kebele” is the lowest administrative unit in Ethiopia)
underwent rapid LULC changes, which have aggravated the process of land degradation. In order to balance the associated
trade-off between satisfying immediate human needs and maintaining other ecosystem function, quantitative knowledge and
evidences about ecosystem responses to land use is required [7]. In addition, sustainable management of natural resources
also requires a frequent study and monitoring of LULC changes at different spatial and temporal scales [8]. In this case, use of
Geographical information System (GIS) in couple with remote sensing techniques is proved to be effective in assessing and
monitoring LULC changes (Bewket 2003; Erener et al. 2012; Mallupattu and Sreenivasula Reddy 2013; Rawat et al. 2013).
Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze the spatial and temporal dynamics of LULC from 1986 to 2018 in Finote
Birihane kebele and to generate LULC maps of these two years using GIS and remote sensing techniques.

II. MATERIALS AND METHODS

2.1.Study area
The study was done in Finote Birihan kebele, located between 10°52'46.67"N latitude and 38°16'10.63"E Longitude in the
north-western highlands of Ethiopia Amhara regional state Enebse Sar Mider Woreda (Fig. 1). The study area has a total
population of 4,186 (2,007 male and 2,179 female), 858 households based on the data obtained from 2007 census of
Ethiopian central Statistics Agency. The major livelihood of the community in this kebele is mixed subsistence rain feed farming
system (rearing of animals and crop production).

Figure 1. Location map of the study area.

2.2.Method of data collection and analysis
For change detection over the 32 years of study periods, temporal satellite images of the year 1986 (Landsat 5ETM) and 2018
(Landsat 8OLI) were acquired from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website (http://glovis.usgs.gov), where only
cloud-free images were considered to maximize the classification accuracy. In order to get cloud-free images with similar
phonological properties and make the classification process more efficient, images of drier period of the year (December,
January and February) were considered.
The overall flow chart of satellite image analysis depicted in Fig. 2. For this study, Arc GIS 10.2 and ENVI 5.3 software were
employed for processing and analysis. The classification process for the current study consisted of pre-processing (geo-
referencing, radiometric calibration, layer-stacking) and post-image processing phases. To make uniformity among spatial data,
