Abstract
The use of high resolution satellite data is vital in assessing environmental risks, particularly when access to the environment is restricted, when the area of interest is large or when the assessment requires consideration of past environmental conditions. This paper demonstrates the application of satellite data (such as imageries and Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission SRTM data) as a decision support tool to manage the environment using the Federal polytechnic Ilaro (FPI) as a case. A digital map of the school environment was obtained from the Surveying and Geoinformatics department. Landsat 8 (8m resolution) satellite image was used as an overlay to vectorize and update the existing topographic details of the study area. Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM 30m resolution) data was used in Surfer 10 and ArcScene to describe the topographic configuration of the area. The updated digital map and the surface topography of the area are tools for supporting engineering design, hydrological analysis (such as run off water, flow direction etc.), drainage as well as physical environmental planning for the area. The results shows that manipulation of satellite data (SRTM data) and map update from imageries cannot be over-emphasized as decision support tools in the physical planning processes of a built environment.
