ABSTRACT: African cities are experiencing uncontrolled landuse change. Since landuse and land cover change is an important component in understanding the interactions of human activities with the environment, therefore it is necessary to analyse such change. In this study of analysing the urban landuse change, 2000 and 2010 IKONOS are used in a post classification comparison analysis to map the landuse changes and identify the conversion process in Ikeja, GRA, Lagos. The landuse change statistics results obtained revealed that residential landuse has changed rapidly for the periods (2000-2010). The results also show increase in commercial landuses between the same periods. The application of urban satellite images with higher ground resolution was found to be effective in monitoring the landuse changes and providing valuable information necessary for planning and research.
