Abstract
A land use classification has been developed for
the inventory of land use in a Nigerian forest area, Sabon
Gida Ora, using large scale aerial photography.
The dot grid method of sampling covering 14% of
the area is used in estimating the various land use
categories. Bonnor (1975) and Kolbl and Trachsler (1980)
formula are used in estimating the error of the land
use categories. Estimated land use categories are
displayed in a series of computer maps
