Land Use/Land Cover Suitability Assessment for a Large-scale Sugarcane Cultivation in Raha Wetland, Bunza Local GovernmentArea, Kebbi State, Nigeria
Resumen
The study aimed at determining Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) suitability of the study area as a component of land evaluation for large-scale sugarcane cultivation. A Landsat 8 image from 17/01/2019, path/row 191/052, was selected for LULC mapping. Following radiometric correction, unsupervised classification was performed using isoclustering. Stratified random sampling was applied to select 400 pixels from the map for ground truthing: 280 for supervised classification and 120 for classification accuracy assessment. LULC suitability was determined based on FAO guidelines. Using the maximum likelihood classifier, LULCs produced included Water (115 ha, 2%), Light Wetland (2,778 ha, 57%), Dense Wetland (890 ha, 18%), Shrubland (446 ha, 9%), Orchard (278 ha, 6%), and Bare Surface (415 ha, 8%) which were mapped at Level III with 92% accuracy. Four classes of suitability were obtained: N (Non-Suitable, 2%), S1 (Highly Suitable, 75%), S2 (Moderately Suitable, 15%), and S3 (Marginally Suitable, 8%). Areas of S1 are the wetlands, while S2 encompasses the shrubland and orchard; bare surface areas are marginally suitable, while water bodies are not suitable. While only 2% of the area is not suitable, 98% possesses one form of suitability or another. It was concluded that the LULC of the study area is highly suitable for large-scale sugarcane cultivation.
