  In this paper, locations of the various fuel and gas stations in the Kumasi Metropolis, Ghana were geospatially analysed against the standards set by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly and Town and Country Planning Department. Global Positioning System Garmin 62S was used to capture the location of the fuel and gas stations whereas the boundary shapefile, road shapefile and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Kumasi were obtained from the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly and Survey and Mapping Division of Lands Commission. Spatial locations of the gas and fuel stations were integrated into the map of Kumasi in ArcMap environment of ArcGIS 10.3.1 in WGS84 coordinate system. All the analyses were performed in ArcMap environment using spatial statistics, spatial analyst, and proximity tools available in the software. Findings revealed .. View more»
