A methodology, using aerial photographs, for mapping urban land-use in Nigeria

Abstract

This research was stimulated by a growing need to provide some guidance in the choice of handling tropical urban land use data derived entirely from aerial photography. A general review of urban land use surveys, including those based on aerial photographs, carried out in Britain, Europe and North America,is followed by a brief account of the limited amount of work done in this field in the tropics.
