Abstract: Corrected and uncorrected SPOT XS imageries are used to achieve comparative assessment of built-up areas land use and land cover classes in Northwestern Nigeria. The built-up environment showed on both imageries. The PAVM was used to determine the ability of the data sets to produce similar results over the area. Results indicate a low PAVM value for the tertiary level urban land use and land cover classes except the commercial areas. Vacant lands, industrial areas and open spaces showed zero values. The results have implications on the planning of urban and natural resources development in the ecologically fragile region of Northwestern Nigeria.
