This paper proposes leveraging Web-GIS and artificial intelligence (AI) to rejuvenate agriculture in these regions. It aims to dissect the components of Web GIS, examine spatial data capture methods, delve into AI for image processing, and develop revenue-generating strategies to boost Nigeria’s agricultural sector. Despite substantial capital investment, agricultural outputs remain below expectations, primarily due to informational gaps regarding land use, planting techniques, and storage. The bureaucratic management of public agricultural sectors further delays disseminating research findings to farmers. Adopting Web-GIS and AI offers a modern solution to these challenges, facilitating real-time analysis and communication of vital information related to soil conditions, farmer challenges, and broader socio-economic and environmental concerns. This approach promises to elevate agricultural practices by integrating technologies like the Internet of Things, GIS, and extensive data-sharing capabilities across the web. The paper emphasizes the potential of ubiquitous smartphone use and widespread internet connectivity to transform agricultural information dissemination. It advocates for leveraging the digital infrastructure of smart cities to enhance access to agricultural data, ultimately improving farming practices across Nigeria. The fusion of Web-GIS and AI with existing telecommunications networks presents a viable path forward, enabling farmers to make informed decisions, improve productivity, and contribute more significantly to the national economy.","PeriodicalId":410457,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Geospatial Technology","volume":"2 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141268006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the sequel, it has become imperative for researchers to focus on the mapping of forest reserves through the use of GIS and Artificial Intelligence (AI) with time-efficient, automated, and low-cost methods to preserve the existing forest reserve and its sustainability evaluation implementation. This research aimed at utilizing GIS and artificial intelligence applications in smart forest ecosystem sustainability evaluation of Olokemeji forest reserve, Ogun State, with the following objectives: (i.) assessment of the current state of the forest ecosystem.(ii.) identify potential threats and risks to the study area and (iii.) develop sustainable management strategies for its conservation and preservation. In pursuance of this, GIS and AI were deployed in this study to assess the spatial characteristics of the forest ecosystem in Olokemeji forest reserve. Landsat imagery, ground coordinates, and a research questionnaire were the major data used. Object-based classification, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and Land Use Land Cover in ArcGIS 10.2 software was deployed in data generation and analysis. The results showed that in 2013, about 1657.115 ha of the study area was occupied by dense forest cover while in 2023, it decreased to 1188.060 ha, with a difference of about 469.055 ha. By implementing smart forest monitoring and evaluation systems that use artificial intelligence, the government and commercial groups should set regulations focused on reducing the escalating risks to forest reserves.","PeriodicalId":410457,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Geospatial Technology","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140755413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PHC is a crucial component of healthcare that serves as the first point of contact for individuals, families, and communities. It allows for the delivery of care as close as possible to people’s homes and places of employment, but over time, a solution to this sector’s location issues has been neglected. The purpose of this study is to locate the optimum locations in the study area for new PHC facilities. After careful evaluation of various literature, oversight organizations, and local government officials, the raw data needed were obtained. The effectiveness of a Geographical Information System (GIS), Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) were integrated to provide a novel method for choosing acceptable locations for PHC facilities in the Ado Local Government Area. The specified criteria layers were overlaid using a weighted linear combination (WLC) approach, such as Map algebra. The results showed that within the land mass of the research region; only 10% were deemed to be the most suitable areas, while 53% of the places were suitable, and 37% of the areas were unsuitable.

Tropical storms cause enormous damage to the coastal region and its communities during landfall. Many of the world’s largest deltas are densely populated and are increasingly vulnerable to natural disasters. The Krishna district within the river delta, is amongst the few districts with very high proneness to cyclone hazards. Machilipatnam in Krishna district is one of the oldest coastal towns in Andhra Pradesh, situated on a series of ancient beach ridges. Two major storms struck this region in the last half-century causing large scale devastation. The extent of inundation from multiple flood events can be a very good indicator for flood hazard zonation. The lateral expansion of Machilipatnam town is analysed in GIS environment based on time series satellite data. The developmental activities in the near shore zone are modifying the pristine coastline configuration. This is evident from shoreline monitoring. It is observed that there is a net increase in the extent of mangroves, indicating a better protection to the town against tropical storms. The unplanned growth of aquaculture may be an amplifying factor for coastal flooding, particularly if it is interfering with the drainage system. In addition to the existing flood protection measures, the areas suitable for shelter belt plantation and mangrove regeneration are identified for coastal vulnerability reduction.","PeriodicalId":410457,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Geospatial Technology","volume":"206 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131949505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The types of criminal activities perpetrated within the communities, including armed robbery, kidnapping, and car and motorcycle snatching, are rapidly increasing. These crimes have” threatened security in Bauchi Local Government and hence the need to check by providing relevant information using modern technology. The geospatial technique combined with the Key Informant Interview approach was adopted to evaluate the intensity of insecurity in Bauchi LGA; from the data collected and analysed, it was established that criminal activities are increasing in various areas leading to the rapid increase in crime hotspots. As a result, the security agency needs to improve the nature of its functionality in combating crimes. Despite the fact that 70.35% of the security agency outpost are functional while 29.62% of the Outpost are non-functional, the security agency recorded 1081 crimes in 2020, which increased to 1142 crimes in 2021 and 1640 in 2022. Also, looking at the 645,000-population density of Bauchi LGA and the ratio of security personnel to individuals of 1:3581, which need to meet the United Nations standard of a ratio of 1:450. Given this, it was recommended that the State create job opportunities and skill acquisition training for unemployed youth roaming the streets. The security agency needs to develop a new strategy for combatting the security threat using geospatial technology and frequent production of security threat maps and their mitigation.","PeriodicalId":410457,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Geospatial Technology","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124404948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
