Modelling the Values of Estate Property at Different Locations in Onitsha Anambra State, Nigeria Using GIS and Spatial Autocorrelation Technique
Keywords:
Estate, Property, GIS, Spatial AutocorrelationAbstract
Constructions of properties located along major transport route are on high demand that the demands of such properties are two times higher than their supply in Onitsha. This study is aimed at modeling the value of estate properties in different locations at Onitsha using GIS and spatial autocorrelation technique. This aim was achieved through the following objectives; determine the types and patterns of building properties within the study Area, create a geospatial database of the study area, determine the spatial distribution of property values using spatial autocorrelation and predict values of properties in the study area in 2033. GIS analysis was carried out and proximity analysis was done to determine properties that are close to some amenities using Buffer in ArcGIS. The buffer queries produced maps and attribute tables. The result of the analysis showed the properties that are close to different amenities such as markets, schools, major roads, hospitals in the study area. Suggestions and recommendations were made from the result of the analysis and including government to consider taking more amenities to places like Okpoko, Awada to decongest the population in GRA, and housing 3-3.
