College in 2006 and a Bachelor of Science in Natural Resource Management from the Jimma University,
Ethiopia in 2014. I also completed my Master of Science in Forest Resource Assessment and Monitoring
from Hawassa University, Wando Genet College of Forestry and Natural Resource in 2020. I have Thirteen
years of work experience in my field. My research interests are land use land cover change, Climate change,
Forest and forest resource assessment, Ecology and Conservation, Remote sensing, and Spatial distribution
of Forest.

Rate of Land use land cover Changes of Setema District Jimma Zone South west, Ethiopia
[2021]
www.isroset.org
Tadesse Leta Jiru, (2021). Rate of Land use land cover Changes of Setema District Jimma Zone South
LULCC is the result of the long-time process of natural and anthropogenic activities that have been
practiced on the land. The study intended to carry out the rate of land use /land cover changes, trends, and
their magnitude over the last 30 years (1988-2018). The study has initiated loss of biodiversity (used for
food, fuelwood, construction medicine, etc.) and wetland expansion to agricultural land. The study has used
QGIS software 2.18.3. SCP plug-in extension 5.4.2 and MOULUSCE plug-in extended version.3 for image
detection, classification, and Simulation. The LULCC classification result revealed that at the base period of
1988 Land sat imagery, forest land (56.22%), grassland (15.7%), Agricultural land(23.13%), Bare land(0.03%),
wetland (2.18), and Settlement land(1. 58%) were identified with their respective percentage. On the
contrary in the recent period of 2018 land sat imagery forest land, grassland, wetland were decreased to
(39.71%), (6.53%), (0.87%),(23.13%) respectively. The maps of 1998 and 2008 were used to simulate the LULC
for 2018 using MOLUSCE available in QGIS software. The predicted result was compared with the classified
LULC map of 2018 to validate the model. Finally, based on this, the prediction of future LULC for the years
2028 was performed. The outcomes of this study show that there would be decreasing in forestland;
grassland and increasing in agricultural land and settlement area.
