Abstract:
The implication of Remote Sensing data and Geographic Information System
techniques in map making cannot be Overemphasized, Because of its capacity
to combine spatial data with non-spatial data and also represent the result,
information in an easier to understand. More than a few works have been taken
benefit of the GIS Techniques to create and modify street maps using High
Resolution Images. It’s more reliable to utilize in street guide map expansion in
Bauchi local government metropolis street guide map, Bauchi State, Nigeria.
This work intends to overview the new development road, by updating the old
street guide map in to new digital composite map of Bauchi metropolis that will
ease navigation and help the student, visitors and tourists to their various
destinations in the town. And it will serve as a platform for decision making for
various researched that shows the needs of location, road network analysis, site
suitability analysis and extending other social amenities such as water
pipelines, roads, street lights in the town.
Introduction
The Transportation system and property in this era are significant in physical
and new modern economic development of towns and cities all over the world.
Property and land values have a tendency to increase in areas with expanding

transportation networks, and increase price of land and house are expected in
cities with transportation improvements and fast economic and population
growth and business activities will take place the route network fixed with
increased transport investment result in changed levels of accessibility reflected
through Cost Benefit Analysis, savings in travel time, and other benefits of
community.
Therefore, follows that stranger and residents should be able to move wherever
with minimal difficulties and less expensive, if provided there is street guides.
Unfortunately, very few cities in Nigeria has updated street guide map. In the
recent past, an effort was made by office of the Surveyor General Bauchi state
since 2011 produce a street Guide for the Bauchi metropolis. However, the
review of street guide map project did not cover Local Government is within
the Bauchi metropolis.
A map is a model of part of the earth surface showing the shape, and position
of different countries, political boarders, natural features such as rivers and
mountains, and artificial features such as roads and buildings (Kolawole 2016).
A map can also give you particular type of information about a certain area on
the surface of the earth. It can be made so simple and specific that it shows
direction of travel from one place to another. Reconnaissance technologies such
as aerial photograph and satellite based sensing have come to man’s aid in quest
to understand.
There is constant search for ways of providing the static map with information
about changes. Thus, the true aim of map revision is to keep all maps up to-date
with changes as may be witnessed over time. If the accuracy and quality of the
map is to be maintained, then the revision information must be compiled exactly
and carefully located a road map or route map is a map that primarily displays
roads and transport links rather than natural geographical information.
It is a type of navigational map that commonly includes political boundaries and
labels, making it also a type of political map. In addition to roads and
boundaries, Road maps often include points of interest, such as prominent
businesses location or buildings, tourism sites, parks and recreational facilities,
Hotels and Restaurants, as well as airports and train stations. A Road map may
also document non-automotive transit routes, although often these are found
only on transit maps it is understandable that most Nigerian cities do not have

street guide in this 21th century we are in the computer digital age, where
information is just available.
Theoretical Framework
It also showed that some of the roads were not named according to the standard
and some were not named at all. From this study, it is recommended that the
naming system should be standardized across the study area and Oyo State at
large. It is also recommended that provision should be made for street map
revision on a yearly basis so as to account Olatunji Sharafdeen Bolaji et
al.(2016)
A street map is a type of map that contains the position and names of streets. A
street map is useful in areas such as: planning enumeration areas by
demographers; navigation for tourists; salesmen; firemen; police; security
agent; tax collectors, postal service etc.(Ezra 2007).
It can also be defined as a graphic portrayal of a town or city, showing the
positions and names of all the streets; major/minor highways and roads,
railroads, tracks and other points of interest and the general road network. It is
a form of map that details roads and transport links (Udoh 2014).
This field work revealed that a larger percentage of the roads were not paved,
while most of the paved ones have deteriorated and no new road constructed
was documented. Olatunji Sharafdeen Bolaji et al.(2016)
Due to tree canopies or weak contrast of the satellite image, Minor roads and
tracks are not easily visible with the accuracy ranging from 23 percent to 64
percent depending on categorization. It was also noted that the accuracy of
urban street mapping using satellite imageries depends on the image geometric
accuracy and extractable map scale based on adopted standards and its
information content therefore, for updating and producing road infrastructure
map, 1 - 30 m resolution imagery could be used in area of minimum tree density
but to obtain an accurate, precise and quality street map, a high resolution (0.25
- 0.5 m) image must be used. This led us to the use of Geo- eye image for this
work. Manning, J. and Evans, M. (1988)
The road network structure is made up of two main patterns: a circular and grid
topologies. Inadequate road maintenance culture and weak development control
measures are the major challenges facing road network performance and
development in Kano metropolis. The study concluded that apart from being a

method of keeping inventory of the earth’s resources offer such powerful data
gathering tool. I.I. Abbas, et al (2010).
Infrastructural facilities especially road network is among the basic indexes of
measuring the quality of urban wellbeing. Generally, road network forms the
most basic level of transport infrastructure within urban areas, and link with all
other areas, both within and beyond the boundaries of the urban area. It
therefore facilitates social interaction through easy movement of people.

prominent places were captured with handheld GPS receiver; the northing and
easting of some distinct locations on the image were also captured for
georeferencing purpose. Names of street and locations of prominent building
were collected from cartography department at the Bauchi ministry of land
housing. A Handheld GPS receiver version 75x was used for navigation and
capturing the locations some points. ArcGIS version 10.4.1 were used for map
making and Microsoft accessories such as office and excel was used for
reporting and database conversion.
Georeferencing
During the process of geo-referencing, a total RMS error of 3.137m was
achieved comparing the source points with the destination control point. The
average displacement of hand-held GPS track logs off the digitization center
lines of road is estimated at 10m. This suggests that the track logs themselves
were likely in error; recognizing the fact that code-based receivers are
susceptible to errors of about 5 to 10 meters. The positional accuracies of details
shown on this street guide are within 5 to 10 meters since the hand-held
receivers were used in capturing their spatial locations. This is however
negligible since the intended purpose is to guide navigation.
Mapping
Immediately after georeferencing, three types of layers were created in the Arc
Catalog namely, points layer for digitizing the location of scattered features,
such as prominent structure, banks, school, line layer for representing some
linear features such as road, railway etc, and polygon layer for digitizing
homogeneous features respectively. These layers were used to digitizing the
location of roads, markets, water bodies’ schools etc, from the Image. After
digitizing, the digitized features were represented with their respective
conventional symbols. Map element that are related to the data were added such

Conclusions
The study, has achieved its objectives with full information of street guide map
and shows the different between high way, major road, minor road, water canal
and some prominent area etc. Then, if this information is properly managed and
supported with the right decision and implementation would go a long way in
addressing the problem highlighted earlier in the study. Benefit of this digital
composite map are noticeable in increased catchment areas for services and
facilities like shops, schools, offices, banks, and leisure activities. Access to
unpaved roads provides relative advantages resultant upon which Commercial
users located to enjoy the advantages.
Recommendations
This research has no doubt uncovers the current condition of most land and
survey ministries, agencies, organizations, etc in terms of their non adoption
and implementation of (GIS) techniques that will help in collecting and
managing spatial information.
Therefore, it’s recommended that the bodies concerned should adopt the current
trend in order to rescue the large amount of valuable hard copy maps, plans and
other related data that are slowly decaying and eating away by the insect. The
study stops only at designing digital composite map of the study area.
Also, it is at always easier for a change to manifest if decision and directives
comes from the top to the bottom rather than the other way round. Therefore, in
order to have a change from analogue to digital system in the ministries,
66

agencies, organization should adopt the new modern research tool GIS
technique is easier to deals with all outdated map record such as.
(i) Street guide map system should be embraced as it assures
dimensional stability of storage medium, eliminates loss of data or
detail by transfers from one medium to the other and maintains
positional accuracy since the data are help in numerical form.
(ii) Remote sensed data and GIS centre should be established at each and
every individual tertiary institute, military centre and paramilitary
department , so that to handle the responsibility of coordinating and
managing land related information and controlling criminal issue
using the street guide map.
(iii) Government should make it a condition or requirement for the
appointment of the heads of these ministries, agencies,
transportations system, community agency and organization etc.
knowledge of remote sensed data and GIS or any relevant field.
(iv) We try to highlight the important of GIS technique and engage their
self for GIS training in order to provide solution of environmental
problem, because GIS is bedrock of any sustainable development.
(v) It will help the student during the research project because the street
guide map is key of any sustainable project. That shows the where,
that are the location and when, that is time that problem happen and
typical view of study area with full detail of natural and artificial
feature of the area.
From the above it is evidently clear that road network density in Bauchi
metropolis is very high, well connected and evenly distributed with a high
corresponding spatial mobility index.
