Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Spatial development of the peri-urban had been attributed to the challenges confronting the cities in the areas of housing, infrastructure provision and unemployment. This study examined the rate of spatial development at the peripheral residential neighbourhoods of Minna, Niger State. Cluster sampling technique was employed for selection of suitable Peri-urban residential neighbourhood sites within Minna metropolis. Four sets of satellite imageries obtained were used; that is, the Thematic Mapper for 1986, the Enhance Thematic Mapper plus for 1996, the Enhance Thematic Mapper plus for 2006 and the Enhance Thematic Mapper plus for 2012, five (5) spatial growth dynamics (Bare-Land, Built-up, Disturbed Vegetation, Undisturbed Vegetation and Water body) were evaluated within the study area between 1986 – 2012. Results obtained revealed vividly the emerging role of peri-urban in city expansion. Proper planning and management of bare surfaces, investment in mass housing projects and preservation of agricultural land were recommended for easy integration of the peri-urban into the city fabrics and for the achievement of the desired sustainable development.
