    A Physiographic Analysis of Kabale Municipality for Urban Development.
    (Kabale University, 2024) Owomugisha, Deus
    This study conducted a physiographic analysis of Kabale Municipality, Uganda, using remote sensing and GIS techniques. The municipality's rapid urbanization and population growth have led to uncoordinated land use, inadequate infrastructure, and environmental degradation. This research aims to provide a scientific basis for urban development planning and decision-making by analyzing the physical environment and its impact on development. Using remote sensing data and GIS mapping, this study will identify and analyze the physiographic factors influencing urban development patterns, including topography, hydrology, soil, and land use/land cover changes. The results will inform sustainable urban development strategies and provide a framework for environmental management in Kabale Municipality. This research contributes to the understanding of the physical environment's role in urban development and provides a replicable approach for similar municipalities in Uganda and beyond.

    A Physiographic Analysis of Kabale Municipality for Urban Development: A Case Study of Kabale Municipality.
    (Kabale University, 2024) Owomugisha, Deus
    This study performed a physiographic analysis of Kabale Municipality, Uganda, utilizing remote sensing and GIS techniques. The rapid urban growth and population increase in the municipality have resulted in disorganized land use, insufficient infrastructure, and environmental degradation. The goal of this research is to provide a scientific foundation for urban development planning and decision-making by examining the physical environment and its influence on development. Through remote sensing data and GIS mapping, the study will identify and analyze key physiographic factors affecting urban development, such as topography, hydrology, soil conditions, and changes in land use/land cover. The findings will guide sustainable urban development strategies and offer a framework for environmental management in Kabale Municipality. This research enhances understanding of how the physical environment impacts urban development and offers a model for similar municipalities in Uganda and elsewhere.
