GIS Based Appraisal of Waste Disposal for Environmental Assessment and Management in Mainland Area of Lagos State, NG
Abstract
An appraisal of Waste disposal for environmental assessment
and management in Lagos Mainland of Lagos state using the GIS has been carried
out. GIS has been a veritable tool for analyzing, storing, querying, capturing,
displaying and managing of Geographic information or data. This paper addressed
the usefulness of Geographic information system applications in Waste disposal distribution
and in management.
The coordinates of the existing waste
dump were collected through field survey and a Garmin 78Sc hand held Global
positioning system (GPS) receiver was used in the coordinate acquisition. The
result of the field observations and analysis showed that the GIS can be used
to efficiently monitor waste disposal location, Scheduling of Waste-Bin and this can invariably be used for proper
planning in environmental sanitation, assessment and management holistically.
This study shows that the use of
Geographic Information system cannot be overemphasized in the spatial mapping
of solid waste disposal for environmental management and sanitation assessment.
