摘要

本研究应用地理空间信息技术研究了非洲传统宗教对尼日利亚阿南布拉州阿南布拉东部地方政府区域生物多样性保护的影响。圣林及其周围环境的卫星图像构成了空间数据集，用于分析土地利用/土地覆盖变化(LULCC)。结果表明:1980 ~ 2020年，乌德奥诺古和奥里奥奥里奥森林圣地的植被覆盖面积分别减少了10.66%和30.73%，而同一环境的建成区面积分别增加了15.93%和7.45%。研究结果表明，非洲传统宗教信仰体系对生物多样性保护具有重要影响。

The Influence of African Traditional Religion on Biodiversity Conservation in Anambra East LGA of Anambra State, Southeastern, Nigeria: A Geospatial Information System Study

This study applies geospatial information techniques in the study of the influence of African traditional religion on biodiversity conservation in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria. Satellite images of the sacred forests captured along with their surrounding environment constitute spatial data sets which were analyzed for land use/land cover changes (LULCC). Results showed that vegetal covers around Udude Onogu and Olio-olio forest shrines decreased by 10.66% and 30.73%, respectively, while built-up areas of the same environment grew by 15.93% and 7.45% between 1980 and 2020. Findings show that the African traditional religious belief system influences biodiversity conservation.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
