Data on spatiotemporal land use land cover changes in peri-urban West Arsi Zone, Ethiopia: Empirical evidences from Shashemene peri-urban areas.

ABSTRACT: Urban expansion is one of the major problems in Ethiopia resulting in displacement of the rural people inhabiting areas bordering the cities/towns. It is also resulting in land use land cover (LULC) changes affecting the livelihoods of the people and the ecosystems (Messay et al., 2017; Ganamo, 2013) [[1], [2]]. The data presented in this article, therefore shows the spatiotemporal LULC changes of peri-urban expansion areas of Shashemene City. The data were generated from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) images (with path/row numbers 168/055) from EarthExplorer.usgs.gow and the data was classified, interpreted and cross-tabulated using ERDAS IMAGIN 2013 and ArcGIS 10.4.1 software packages. The accuracy of the image classification was verified by geo-location data collected from ground control points by using Geo Positioning System (GPS) receiver and the spatial resolution (1?m) and very recent (2016) Imagery downloaded from Google Earth. The result indicates that the built-up areas have increased by 1938.71?ha (19.3871?km2) with 73.4%, and 17.6% decline in forest land and grassland respectively between 1973 and 2016.

Project description:BackgroundDespite tremendous work has been done on demand creation, capacity building and ensuring the logistics of Implanon; its discontinuation rate remained high in Ethiopia; the prevalence is reported to be 31% in Shashemene District. However, the factors contributing to the high prevalence of early Implanon discontinuation were not well understood in our study setting.ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify the determinants of implanon discontinuation among women who had ever used Implanon in Shashemene District, Southern Ethiopia.MethodsA community-based unmatched case-control study was conducted among randomly selected 264 women (88 cases and 176 controls) in Shashemene District, Southern Ethiopia, from April 12 to May 18, 2021. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select the respondents. Cases were women who discontinued Implanon before 3 years and controls were those who used implanon for 3 full years. A pre-tested, interviewer-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were performed to identify determinants of Implanon discontinuation. An odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to estimate the strength of the association, and significance was declared at a P value of less than 0.05.ResultThe mean age of the respondents was 28.23 (± 5.46) years: 27.27 (± 5.38) years for cases and 28.70 (± 5.5) years for controls. Women with no formal education [AOR = 3.09, 95% CI: (1.20, 8.00)], fewer than four children [AOR = 2.47, 95% CI: (1.20, 5.08)], no history of abortion [AOR = 2.84, 95% CI: (1.25, 6.46)], being new acceptors [AOR = 2.14, 95% CI: (1.02, 4. 49)], being counseled for less than fifteen minutes [AOR = 2.47, 95% CI: (1.29, 4.70)], not discussing it with a partner [AOR = 2.88, 95% CI: (1.42, 5.84)] and experiencing side effects [AOR = 0.35, 95% CI: (0.17, 0.71)] were significantly associated with discontinuation of implanon.ConclusionWomen with no formal education, having less than four children, history of abortion, new acceptors, duration of counseling, discussion with partner, and side effects were determinants of Implanon discontinuation among women. There is a need to ensure adequate pre-implantation counseling and appropriate management of side effects. Furthermore, interventions should target new acceptors and those without formal education.
