Abstract

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.
