Title: SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF HOTELS IN MINNA: A GIS CLOUD MAPPING TECHNOLOGY MODEL Authors: ODEKUNLE, M. O.; Adebona, A. O; AHMED, Y.; ACHA, S.; WAZIRI, ALIYU MAHMOOD Abstract: Hotels are important to every society. This is because they create lodging facilities for businesses people and tourists. Hotels commonly provide a number of different services within the same or different building which are often available for the use of both residents and non-residents of the hotel. This study evaluates spatial distribution of hotels in Minna metropolis using Geographic information techniques and creating a mobile application of the hotels using GIS cloud. Coordinates and information about each hotel used in this study was collected. The points were analyzed in ArcGIS 10.2 environment to depict each hotel’s geographical location on the map. A total of 46 hotels were surveyed. 6 Guest inns, 5 lodges, 1 motel, 2 Suites and 32 Hotels were surveyed. A cursory look at the map of the metropolis shows that hotels are found almost throughout the metropolis. It can also be seen that most of these hotels are situated along major roads for easy access. The hotels data were imported into the GIS cloud engine in csv. Format. A database was created on the GIS cloud engine anchoring the data using javascript. GIS cloud Mobile Data Collection was obtained from iOperating System Appstore to anchor the data on mobile phone. It is recommended that hoteliers who already have hotels should endeavor to upgrade their services so that they can compete with other international brands.

Title: ASSESSING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF P00R DRAINAGE IN BOSSO TOWN, NIGER STATE, NIGERIA Authors: AHMED, Y.; ISHAQ, A. B.; WAZIRI, ALIYU MAHMOOD; ODEKUNLE, M. O. Abstract: The research is to examine the environmental impacts of poor urban drainage system in Bosso town. Poor drainage system have become a problem which lead to soil erosion, flooding and other land degradation processes of the ground surface, gully erosion and excess surface water to the infrastructure and settlement which also lead to flooding. The research is also to locate the erosion prone areas and examine the drainage pattern within the study area, to identify and analyze the major environmental impacts of poor drainage in the study area. The data for the analyses was collected through terrain analysis on the study area with the aid of digital elevation model (DEM) from shuttle radar topographic mission (SRTM) and the drainage network of the study area was extracted through the interpolation of flow accumulation and flow direction from the SRTM data (DEM) using ArcGIS 10.3 software, the digital elevation model was further classified using image classification scheme feature in Idrisi software and an overlay of the DEM and google earth image of the study area to generate the risk map of the study area and Questionnaire was used which frequency-percentage technique was adopted as one of the techniques for the analysis. The analysis of frequency percentage is one of the first techniques used in the analysis of research data that were collected through the use of questionnaire. The frequency-percentage technique is relatively easy to analyze, present and interpret. Frequency percentage= 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 × 100 1 . there are a lot of poor drainage system in the study area which have result to very high erosion risk zone attributed to low slope and high surface soil moisture while the very low risk zones can be attributed to factor such as high slope and low run-off respectively which the drainage should be linked to solve the problem of erosion and other land degradation processes.

Title: Health Implication of Dam in Some Parts of Tafa Local Government Area of Niger State, Nigeria Authors: ISHAQ, A. B.; AHMED, Y.; WAZIRI, ALIYU MAHMOOD; ODEKUNLE, M. O. Abstract: Although dams have beneficial effects, they are also acknowledged as having serious environmental repercussions if they are not properly managed. The aim of this research was to examine the impact of Kofa dam in Niger State on the health status of a riparian community downstream (Kofa) against a control community (Karfe). The objectives of the study are to assess the health implications of proximity to Kofa dam and to investigate the perception of the community members located near the dam on its health implication. A convenient 3% sample size was adopted resulting to 130 respondents and questionnaires, focus group discussion and personal observation were used to elicit data. The result unveiled that communicable water-related diseases are more common in the catchment area, which were identified as malaria, water related diseases (bilharzias, diarrhea, rashes measles) and cholera among others which are mostly associated with water. Case-control study was then conducted in one community (Karfe) which is about 5km away from the experimental community in other to ascertain the health status of the communities with regards to the function of the dam. Most of the diseases identified in the control community are conventional diseases in Nigeria such as: Malaria, Ulcer, Diabetes, which invariably signifies that the diseases identified there has no correlation what so ever with the waterborne diseases found in the experimental community. The study therefore shows some degree of association between the presence of the dam and poor health status of the downstream community in close proximity to it. However, it was recommended that Government should assist in providing the community with safe drinking water so as to prevent the community from using the untreated dam water for their domestic use and provide the community with health education, mosquito netting, medical facilities and drugs to promptly diagnose and treat infected persons in the communities particularly Kofa as it is the community located in close proximity to the dam and is mostly affected by waterborne disease.

Title: Assessment of Flood Vulnerability in Suleja Local Government Area of Niger State, Nigeria Authors: WAZIRI, ALIYU MAHMOOD; AHMED, Y.; ISHAQ, A. B.; ADEDEJI, E. A.; USMAN, M. N. Abstract: This study examined the flood vulnerability in Suleja Local Government Area of Niger State. The objectives of the study are to assess the land use land cover change for 15 years as well as to delineate flood vulnerable areas in Suleja L.G.A. Primary data was collected using a handheld GPS to obtain coordinates data of the areas where flood has previously occurred while the secondary data that were used includes the coordinate data, shape-file, landsat images for 2010, 2015, 2020, digital elevation model (DEM), and the administrative map of Suleja L.G.A. The maximum likelihood algorithm of supervised classification in ArcMap software was adopted to classify the land use in Suleja into different classes. The DEM was used to show the elevation of the area. The result from the analysis of land use and land cover satellite imageries revealed that vegetation cover has decreases and built-up area have been on the increase as a result of the influx of people. In terms of vulnerability areas, the western and south western part of Suleja are more vulnerable to flooding because they are located on low elevation, while Ranfi Sanyi, Bakin–Iku, Ibo, Kwamba, Kuchiko, Maji, Numbwa and Tunga Shano are less vulnerable because they are higher elevation areas. In terms of flood occurrences, Ranfi Sanyi and Bakin–Iku usually have flood events every year and the major factors leading to this flood is due to haphazard erection of buildings along water ways rather than natural factors (heavy rainfall and elevation). The study therefore recommends that stiffer measures should be put in place by the relevant law enforcement agencies to check the problem of indiscriminate waste disposals and constructions along the drainage and water ways.
