Human activities are the major drivers of land use and land cover changes (LULCCs) over space and time. Population increase and distribution as well as economic activities and land tenure systems contribute to the modification of the landscape. LULCCs are historically and socio-economically induced in the context of land tenure-ship and other associated factors. Gumare and Shakawe settlements, like any other villages in Botswana, have experienced notable spatial expansion, population growth and increase in developmental activities since 1980. The villages witnessed increases in residential buildings and road constructions, development of shopping malls and other business infrastructures, among others. The resultant impact of these LULCCs is likely to lead to unsuitable land consumption, significant habitat and biodiversity loss. This study, therefore, aims to examine the impact of LULCCs in Gumare and Shakawe villages within the Okavango Delta, Botswana. Data collection will comprise the acquisition of satellite images of the two villages for the past four decades starting from 1980 to 2020. Socio-demographic and economic data will also be obtained using key informant interview guides, interview schedules and questionnaires where applicable.
