In this paper, the urban thermal environment and vegetation abundance in four East African cities (Khartoum, Addis Ababa, Kampala and Dar es Salaam) were characterised, providing new insights into the role and potentials of blue green infrastructure in differing climate regions. The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) framework was employed to detect the seasonal Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) derived from Landsat-8 data. Significant LST differences between LCZs in dry and rainy seasons were confirmed using a Welch's T test. The LCZs were found to offer potentially new approaches to investigating issues pertaining to urban heating in data-scarce regions. Greater surface urban heat island (SUHI) intensity during the rainy season was apparent in Khartoum and Addis Ababa, emphasising the importance of seasonality in urban thermal studies. Spatial correlations between EVI and LST within each LCZ were analysed through Moran's I and further illustrated the complex relationships of vegetation and thermal behaviour in urban areas. Despite these complexities, urban blue green infrastructure was found to moderate the SUHI, with different types of intervention required across different LCZs.

Influence of determinant factors towards soil erosion using ordinary least squared regression in GIS domain / Imran Ahmad in Applied geomatics, vol 14 n° 1 (March 2022)  

Public [article]  inApplied geomatics > vol 14 n° 1 (March 2022) . - pp 57 - 63 Titre : Influence of determinant factors towards soil erosion using ordinary least squared regression in GIS domain Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Imran Ahmad, Auteur ; Jahier Abbas Shaaikh, Auteur ; Assefa Fenta, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 57 - 63 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Analyse spatiale [Termes IGN] autocorrélation spatiale [Termes IGN] érosion [Termes IGN] Ethiopie [Termes IGN] méthode des moindres carrés [Termes IGN] modèle de régression [Termes IGN] modèle RUSLE [Termes IGN] régression [Termes IGN] système d'information géographique Résumé : (auteur) An attempt has been made in this study to analyze the hotspots of soil erosion in Denbie Woreda, Ethiopia. A total of five determinant factors were multiplied (using raster calculator in GIS domain) and integrated to obtain the soil erosion hotspots of the area. These five determinant factors were used as exploratory variables to understand the spatial behavior of soil loss rates. The ordinary least squared (OLS) regression model diagnostics showed that the R-squared and adjusted R-squared values of the explanatory variables are 0.71 and 0.75 respectively. Variance inflation factor (VIF) values of the OLS range between 1.03 and 1.47 indicating the absence of multicollinearity among explanatory variables. Koenker (BP) statistic is statistically insignificant (p > 0.005) indicating that relationships modeled are consistent. The OLS regression model was subject to different tests to confirm its reliability. Spatial autocorrelation tool (Global Moran’s I) result showed that the residuals exhibit a Gaussian spatial pattern. This study proved that all the determinant factors of Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation played a significant role towards demarcation of soil loss rates.

Although a natural process, soil erosion has increased significantly due to human intervention, especially in the last centuries, through diverse activities such as intensive agriculture, overgrazing, urban sprawl, deforestation, and industrial and mining activities. Presently, soil erosion and degradation promoted by human action have reached extreme levels, necessitating urgent measures to promote soil conservation and rehabilitation. This book presents perspectives on soil erosion occurring in different parts of the world as well as some successful initiatives and strategies for soil conservation and rehabilitation.

Therefore, it is significant to know its spatial characterization and distribution in the country. We use spatial overlay analysis and the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model for characterizing and modelling, respectively. Inputs for the model include 26 environmental variables—19 bioclimatic and seven biophysical—in addition to the geospatial location of enset field data. The model result was validated using Receiver Operating Characteristic curve method and the area under the curve (AUC) with 0.842 for cultivated enset and 0.760 (wild enset). The highest prediction (>0.5) of both varieties occurred in the southwestern, south-central and north-eastern parts of Ethiopia—17,293.67 km2 (cultivated) and 40,402 km2 (wild) area. The presence of both enset is probabilistically higher at the tropic-cool/sub-humid Agroecological Zones.

Assessment of malaria hazard, vulnerability, and risks in Dire Dawa City Administration of eastern Ethiopia using GIS and remote sensing / Abdinasir Moha in Applied geomatics, vol 12 n° 1 (April 2020)  

Public [article]  inApplied geomatics > vol 12 n° 1 (April 2020) . - pp 15 - 22 Titre : Assessment of malaria hazard, vulnerability, and risks in Dire Dawa City Administration of eastern Ethiopia using GIS and remote sensing Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Abdinasir Moha, Auteur ; Molla Maru, Auteur ; Tebarek Lika, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 15 - 22 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] ArcGIS [Termes IGN] cartographie des risques [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] Ethiopie [Termes IGN] image infrarouge [Termes IGN] image Landsat-OLI [Termes IGN] maladie parasitaire [Termes IGN] risque sanitaire [Termes IGN] système d'information géographique [Termes IGN] utilisation du sol Résumé : (auteur) Malaria is a serious vector-borne disease affecting a greater proportion of the world’s population. Sub-Saharan Africa carries a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden. Ethiopia is generally considered a low-to-moderate malaria transmission intensity country. However, the health sector in Ethiopia is greatly affected by climate change, which has profound consequences on the transmission cycles of vector-borne infectious diseases like malaria. The main objective of the study was to assess the spatial distribution of malaria hazard, vulnerability, and risk areas in Dire Dawa City Administration. GIS and remote-sensing in general and multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) in particular was used for assessing and mapping malaria hazard, risk, and vulnerable areas in Dire Dawa City Administration based on the data collected from various sources. The malaria hazard map of the study area labeled 0.6% of the region as low-hazard level, 79.7% moderate, 19.7% high, and 0.1% very low. Results of malaria vulnerability analysis reveal that about 23%, 73%, and 4% of the region was found to be vulnerable to malaria risk at very high, high, and low levels, respectively. The malaria risk map classifies 80% of the region as a moderate malaria-risk area and 20% as high malaria-risk area. This assessment advocates that the GIS and remote-sensing technology as tools can be used to provide timely information on malaria hazard, vulnerability, and risk areas for planning and taking measures at various levels ranging from early warning, monitoring, and control to prevention against malaria epidemics in a resource-efficient and cost-effective way.
