Application of GIS technology in enhancement of NEMA licensing regime

Thursday 3 November: 9:30 – 9:50

NEMA has been regulating various facilities in the country with the aim of ensuring integrity of environmental preservation. These facilities are classified as high, medium and low risk, depending on the levels of the likely environmental damage the activities of a facility can cause. This study shows the geographic location and status of some of these facilities while monitoring compliance to the licensing regime by use of GIS technology. Secondary base data (maps) was collected and embedded to Ipads for fieldwork. These Ipads were configured and data collection forms created in them. In collecting the primary data, GPS coordinates were recorded in the Ipads. Photographs were also taken through observation and forms filled out. In carrying out analysis from a random sample of 1000 facilities countrywide, only 457 complied with the EIA regulation, with energy sector being the most compliant. The database component included but not limited to facility location, type, status, photos and dates. These can be accessed in AGOL and analyzed accordingly. The use of GIS technology in environment planning and management has made data collection easier and analysis much better. The result is faster and informed decision making in environmental management and enhanced revenue collection.

GIS in Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Data Management


The petroleum industry is an information led business in which the market capitalization of any oil companies is mainly dependent on an expectation of the value of future production. This number depends entirely on interpretation and understanding of datasets about resources that are both hidden far below earth’s surface and are often also in remote inaccessible locations. Oil companies are not unique on how much they rely on information, but E&P is one of the activities where the financial impact of data is highest. Therefore, data and information management is crucial for the success of any oil company. National Oil Corporation of Kenya as a custodian of all the oil and gas data, it embarked on a process of implementing a National Data Center (NDC). NDC is a centralized dynamic system that manages and preserves a country’s petroleum data assets with diverse set of data management tools such as automated, quality assured workflows and services that help to encourages external investment. Most of the data in NDC has spatial component to them such as well coordinates, seismic line location or a regional span survey the design of NDC utilizes GIS as the defector spatial tool.

Improved Analysis of Cheetah Occupancy and Gene Flow in Kenya Using GIS Tools


Action for Cheetahs in Kenya (ACK) is the only range-wide cheetah conservation organization in Kenya. ACK conducted the first Kenya national cheetah survey in collaboration with the Kenya Wildlife Service, Cheetah Conservation Fund and East African Wildlife Society between 2004 and 2007. We were the first to create a range-wide map of cheetahs based on actual site visitation across the entire country. Results of the survey formed the baseline for national and regional strategic planning. Methodology for the second survey will include land cover and anthropogenic influences mapped in ArcGIS with cheetah occupancy from field surveys, detection dog scat collection and gene flow analysis. This presentation will highlight the changes being made from the first survey in order to assure improved knowledge to influence cheetah conservation strategies. Occupancy modelling and genetic mapping will be used to map and analyse trends in cheetah status and genetic flow between populations. Detection dogs will locate scat to evaluate prey selection, cheetah health and genetic variability. Remote sensing technology will test assumptions on land use change affecting cheetah habitat. Results of pilot studies conducted between December 2015 and August 2016 form the framework for completing the range-wide GIS-based evaluation.

Impact of Climate Change and Desertification of Arid and Semi-Arid Areas of Kenya


Climate change and a deteriorating environment is a key challenge to sustainability, bio-diversity, food security and stability across Africa. Pollution, deteriorating soil quality, desertification and poor air quality are threatening the lives and futures of all of the continent's people. According to previous studies, the impacts of climate change in Africa will be severe, and are already ongoing in many places. The 1992 Rio Earth Summit identified climate change and desertification, and the loss of biodiversity as the greatest challenges to sustainable development. UNCCD links environment and development to sustainable land management. UNCCD addresses specifically the arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas where some of the most vulnerable ecosystems are found. UNCCD strategy (2008-2018) adopted in 2007 aims at forging e a global partnership to reverse and prevent desertification and to mitigate the effects of drought in affected areas in order to support poverty reduction and environmental sustainability

This paper therefore seeks to analyze the impact of these factors on the arid areas of Kenya and propose mitigating measures and interventions to avert future occurrences using Geographic Information Systems. The impacts on the ecosystem support and the growing imbalance between population, resources, development, and environment has increased the vulnerability of the areas affected.

Local Government

A Village Level GIS-Based County Government and Environmental Management


Kenya’s devolved system of governance lead to devolution of resources and prudent decision making is key in promoting sustainable development. Resource allocation, risk and environmental management are some decisions made at the county level with limited information. This paper seeks to support the decision making process by development of a village level geodatabase containing infrastructure, and potential hazards within a given area. An area in Western Kenya was used in the study, data was sourced from google earth and threat levels from chlorine gas pollution modeled using ALOHA software. The geodatabase was established and spatial analyses run in ArcGIS. These processes were digitization, buffering, distance generation, distance extraction, intersection and land size estimation. The results generated the number of households and their proximity to roads, schools, piped water networks, rivers and electricity grid. Further, the number of households and size of land under different pollution threat levels were generated. The integration of this information in the decision making process is invaluable in guiding infrastructure development, guide on the population and land under different levels of threats by forms of pollution and eases the process of identification of affected individuals and land.

GIS Based Modeling to Assess Pollution Vulnerability to Groundwater in the Vicinity of Solid Waste Disposal Site, Case study: Pugu Kinyamwezi Dumpsite in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania


The study uses GIS based modeling in assessing pollution vulnerability of groundwater in the vicinity of solid waste disposal sites. Heavy Metal contamination of the groundwater inside and around the Pugu Kinyamwezi dumpsite was assessed; pollution modeling using shallow water wells, and populations at risk were assessed, as was future water demand. Water from about 12 shallow wells was taken for testing. According to the WHO, the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) for Copper, Lead, chromium Zinc and Cadmium were 1.5, 0.01, 0.08, 3 and 0.003mg/L respectively. Results obtained from the laboratory were used as a benchmark in finalizing the model. Pollution modeling was carried out through the construction of a water table contour map. In this case, a shallow well was measured in height using ropes during morning hours, instead of digging a shallow well to reach the point of water seep. Therefore measurements were taken before any disturbance of the shallow well. In modeling of spatial distribution of pollutants in the case study, a water table contour, which is useful in predicting groundwater flow, was used ARCGIS 9.3 in developing water table contour. The output flow direction indicated groundwater flows were east and south east of the case study area. Leachate distribution/movement underground was successfully presented using ArchiCAD 15. The model developed paves the way for effective action before conditions worsen. Continuous consumption of shallow well water for drinking purposes results in waterborne related health problems and other problems due to heavy metal contamination.

Comparing two geospatial approaches for delineating crop ecologies in Tanzania


This paper compares a bottom-up and a top-down geospatial approach for delineating crop ecologies from gridded bio-climatic variables. For top-down approach, an unsupervised K-means clustering was to classify the bio-climatic layers into relatively homogenous clusters. The bottom-up approach utilized the extrapolation detection tool to generate maps on dissimilarity between the bio-climatic conditions at reference crop trial site and outlying search domain. The top down approach identified 20 unique clusters that could be targeted for scaling crop varieties that suits the prevailing environmental conditions. Maps delineated using bottom-up approach revealed two types of dissimilarities that reveal crop-specific suitability gradient. However applicability of this approach in Africa is limited by limited or sparse trial sites for crop varieties. The top-down approach produced agro-ecological maps that require further processing to allocate suitable crops in each cluster. Results demonstrate the potential of geospatial tools in guiding spatial targeting of crop varieties to foster maximum adoption in agricultural technology scaling interventions.

Analysis of Urban Growth and Agricultural Land Use of Kuta in Shiroro L.G.A, Niger State, North-Central Nigeria


The study explores the urban growth analysis on agricultural landuse in Kuta and its environs. The objectives of the research is to examine the implication of urban growth encroachment on agricultural land, between 1990, 2001 and 2013 respectively. Land-sat imageries of Kuta and its environs for 1990, 2001 and 2013 were acquired, processed and classified using GIS techniques. The methods adopted in this research were maximum likelihood classification and area calculation in hectares for the various land use/land cover for each study year. The result shows that, in the year 1990 the built-up area was 1481.662 hectares and farmland was 36165.98 hectares, this indicates that urban area was very small and agricultural activity was at the peak in 1990. In the year 2001, the built-up area increased to 2584.641 hectares and agricultural land decreased to 20323.35 hectares. This indicates that urban growth was gradually taking place at the expense of agricultural land. In the year 2013, built-up area increased to 10074.373 hectares and agricultural land decreased to 16530.98 hectares. This shows that there was a significant change from 2001 to 2013 as urban area grows four times of its size, diminishing agricultural land. Result also shows that between 1990 and 2013, the rate of urban growth encroachment on agricultural land was 9.61%. It was found out that urban growth has more negative effects than positive effects on agricultural land. It was recommended that Government by way of policy should be strict in preserving farmland from illegal occupation, in order to reduce the monitor reduction of farmlands by human activities in Kuta and its environs, Shiroro Local Government of Niger State, Nigeria.

Challenges of Developing Land Information Management Systems (LIMS) for County Governments in Kenya


This paper describes the challenges of developing a Land Information Management Systems (LIMS) for County Governments in Kenya. In most developing countries land information is still held in paper format, which can be destroyed through wear and tear and can also be difficult to retrieve. In order to improve land administration services, there is a need to develop digital LIMS. In addition, according to the County Government Act, 2012 in Kenya, all County Governments are supposed to develop digital Geographic Information Systems (GIS) based Spatial Plans that should include land information. Despite the need for LIMS, there are multiple challenges that face implementation of the systems. In this regard, there is a need to study the challenges, as a means of averting them in future LIMS initiatives. This paper uses case study methodology to document challenges that were encountered in developing part of a LIMS for Kerugoya County. The results show the legal, political, economic and social challenges that were encountered in the project. The conclusion is that there is a need to establish means of resolving the challenges if effective LIMS are to be implemented not only in County Governments in Kenya, but also in other developing countries.

A Geographic information System driven integrated land management System


The National Land Commission is currently developing a National Land Information Management System (NLIMS). This is a parcel-centric based Geographic Information System (GIS) solution geared towards automating land processes and procedures. The system is to be implemented using a five-phase strategy. So far, phase 1 has been implemented with the setting up of infrastructure, system design and development, integration of GIS with other systems and automation of land processes which include land administration, valuation, settlement and adjudication. Once finalized, the system will support all components in land administration using an integrated approach. The integrated system is based on Microsoft SQL server, Dynamics NAV, SharePoint and ArcGIS solutions. In retrospect, it will enhance provision of land management services and provide a platform for citizen interaction through an online portal featuring free services and for pay services.

Geospatial Database Development for Land Information Parcels to Support Land Management


Geospatial data is utilized in all fields by people from all walks of life in all parts of the world every day. Land parcel information is the foundation on which all structures and activities are planned and laid on. In Kenya, Survey of Kenya as the National Mapping Agency is responsible for the production and maintenance of all boundaries. The exercise of capturing, maintaining and update of these vital data has been manually done hence cumbersome to recon and keep the database up to date and accessible. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency achieved in creation of geospatial database for Nairobi, Kiambu and Mombasa Counties using Esri GIS parcel editor extension module. A total of 300,000 parcels have been captured into the database. The software provided a simple and efficient way of data extraction and manipulation for effective decision making on land. The database can be used by both the National and County governments’ exercises which includes but not limited to land administration, taxation, provision of utilities, infrastructure development and management which are constantly managed from a centralized up to date database that is accessible by all stakeholders in a timely manner.

Vertical Electric Sounding Sites Selection Model for Ground Water Analysis and Mapping

Friday 4 November: 9:30 – 9:50

Turkana is an arid area experiencing severe water shortages. The government of Kenya in collaboration with international donors speculated that there was an abundant supply of ground water that can sustain the whole country for the next 70 years and contracted a company to do ground water analysis and mapping. The process involved analyzing digital geological data, remote sensing imagery analysis, and creation of 3D basement formation model from structural contours and selection of most suitable sites for Vertical Electric Sounding (VES) survey to determine the availability and depth of aquifers. A customized geospatial tool combining expertise from key hydrogeologists and geospatial analysts was designed in ArcGIS to perform site suitability analysis for the VES survey process. The tool was able to create analytical maps indicating areas with high ground-water potential. On performing the VES survey, over 90% of the sites analyzed in Turkana County within the zones indicated by the tool, shows availability of ground water within a depth of 400 meters from the surface.

Detect the change of Tarangire River located at within the Tarangire National park in Manyara region by using Remote Sensing data and GIS


This research aim to detect the change of Tarangire River located at within the Tarangire National park in Manyara region by using Remote Sensing data and GIS. ArcGIS v.10 was used to classify land cover scheme of selected area of the Tarangire River located at northern part of national park in 1995 and 2013. River, Grass Land, Shrubs, Woodland, Forest and Agriculture Area were classified by using two Landsat images of 1999 and 2014.Land cover Classification was conducted by using Maximum likelihood classification

in order to determine location, magnitude and percentage land cover change between1995 and 2013.

Land Use/ Land Cover Distribution in 1995 indicate the presence of 118.78 ha of river, 808.09 ha of forest, 77.52 ha of woodland, 719.41 of shrubs and 591.84 ha of the Grass Lands with no sign of cultivated farm. Coverage area of the River classified to occupy 3.94% of the total classes while woodland and Forest covered large party of the area with 52.58% of the total classes indicating dense vegetation in southern part of the area.

Land Use/ Land Cover Distribution in 2013 of selected area of Tarangire River in northern part of the Tarangire national park is covered with 777.52 ha, 719.41 ha, 591.84, 118.71 ha and 251.15 of Woodlands, shrubs, grass land, river and. It is detected that 808.09 ha of the land covered with forest in 1995 is converted to woodland while large part of the woodland detected in 1995 is also converted to shrubs. It is also detected the agriculture conducted at northern and north east of the classified area occupied 8.33% of the total classes.

Change was detected and it is observed that Forest and Woodlands was reduced by 28% and 4.41% while Tarangire River, grass land, shrubs detected to increase by 1.3%, 12.47 %, 9.5 %, and 8.33 % .Agriculture which were not detected in 1995 it was detected to appear in 2013 covering 8.33% of the total classes and the area covered replace some area of woodland and grassland.

Change detected indicates that the forest has been disappeared and replaced by woodland from 1995 to 2013 while some part of woodland declined and replaced by Farms. This indicate that economic activities such as agriculture, lumbering, grazing etc. and population has been increasing from 1995 to 2013 which increase demand of land for Animal grazing and agriculture and

Cross-Cutting Issues

GI-diversity – Taking the activities in the Kakamega-Nandi forests area as example


Fifteen years of engagement for and in Eastern Africa has resulted in a myriad of activities, either research driven or related to capacity building. Geodata processing offers here versatile opportunities for cooperation, as the spatial reference enables inter- and transdisciplinary approaches. The presentation provides an overview on the past achievements resulting from close collaboration with Kenyan and Ugandan counterparts. However, the focus is on more recent examples from the Kakamega-Nandi forests area in Western Kenya. While the processing of data from disparate sources was achieved by means of ArcGIS and remote sensing approaches, an open source software-based Web GIS tool now combines the spatially related scientific findings on the forest use history for visualization and exploration by anyone. The participatory development of environmental education tools, engaging many stakeholders from the local communities, resulted in various playful means. Some help to make a start in

passing on abilities in regard to map reading, some to sensitize and steer discussions on the need of forest conservation. Finally, a university cooperation targeted a streamlined GIS teaching across the various university departments by jointly developing teaching material which includes geodata of regional relevance.

Use of GIS and SDI in Promoting Coffee Quality in Maraba Sector


In these last recent years farmers in the sector of Maraba in South Province of Rwanda had face challenges to keep producing good quality coffee and to be the 1st place in competition of cup of Excellence. We conducted this research in order to show how the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) models as the research method for growing and producing good quality coffee in taking into consideration environmental factors like: Elevation and temperature, Rainfall and water supply, Soil, Aspect and slopes. The findings in this research about the selection of zones of coffee plantation and relation relationship to coffee quality will be published on Geo-Portal where maps and metadata created or collected will be available to the public and particularly to Maraba sector community. The results of this research will be presented to Maraba sector community in a workshop so that they can gain knowledge of the land and the good quality of Maraba coffee.

A History of Public Universities in Kenya


This research uses story map to show the history of Public Universities in Kenya as of 2015. Story Maps assist in the combination of maps with narrative text, images, and multimedia content. They make it easy to appreciate the power of maps and geography in telling a story. For this research, the story map was created from Esri Story map template and for purposes of creativity, the source code was downloaded and configured to ensure flexibility in representation of the work. Finally the map was hosted on ArcGIS online; Esri’s secured cloud-based mapping and GIS Platform for review and sharing. One of the results is a time series web map of the public universities with a history of when the university was formed and later accredited. This information also entail a strategic plan video by the institution. All these is based on online publications such as Wikipedia and YouTube. The created Public Universities story map, helps us appreciate history that formed all these institution, it also gives us a preview of the geo-locations of these universities, this will come in handy in decision making on where to locate a new institution.

Africa Addressed


The geospatial industry is worth an estimated $150bn annually yet there is no precise yet simple global address or location reference system. The only real option is complicated latitude and longitude coordinate pairs, which are great for machines but ineffective for everyday people. 75% of countries in the world have inadequate or no address system at all. In the remaining 25%, national addressing systems are plagued with problems that cause widespread inefficiency. Poor addressing is costly & annoying in some developed countries, and around the world it hampers the growth and development of nations, ultimately costing lives. What3words have divided the world into 57 trillion 3mx3m squares and given each one a simple and easy to remember 3 word address. The system is being used across Africa by individuals, organizations and NGOs including the tracking mosquitos in Mozambique,, couriers in Kenya, to install and maintain solar lighting in Botswana, microfinance in Liberia, cable and electricity companies in Nigeria and the UNDP across the region. Find out the story behind the idea, how it works & who is using it.
