Abstract
Remote sensing (RS) helps environmental scientists in obtaining information about objects or areas at the Earth’s surface by using electromagnetic radiation without being in direct contact with the object or area. It is a potential tool for environmental process modeling and to study environmental processes such as land cover changes, deforestation, vegetation dynamics, forest density, coastal morphology, agricultural crop growth, water quality dynamics, urban growth, status of reef and biodiversity of islands and etc. This paper explores the uses of RS in sustainable management of environment in Ethiopia. Several studies have been carried out on the use of RS related to sustainable management of environment and authors contribute to information generation for decision-makers, land managers and planners for sustainable development and management of the natural resource in the environment. They authors reported that land use land cover (LULC) changes and vegetation dynamics in complex landscapes in Ethiopia on a detailed spatial scale; investigated the potential of combining RS data from different Landsat sensors in the country are because of demographic pressure and associated demand on the environmental resources. Accordingly, the effects of human activities are immediate and often radical, while the natural effects take a relatively longer period and the difference in increase by households and land cover change indicates the pressure on forest and bush land. In order to make relevant natural resource planning and management, one has to properly consult situations of the past and present, i.e. socio-economic and biophysical aspects of the environment.
