Dukem town is expanding rapidly and this has brought land use land cover conversion into urban use for different purposes particularly to residential and industrial uses. The study was conducted based on both qualitative and quantitative approaches using spatial analysis of remote sensing and GIS techniques and survey methods. The Primary data sources were collected using questionnaires and observations in order to identify the perception of office employees and community of the town on the factors and actors that contribute a lot for the rapid expansion of Dukem town. The secondary data sources were collected using satellite images. The results of the study showed that built-up areas were increased dramatically from 698.06 ha in 2003 to 3,091.67 ha in 2019. While agricultural land extremely decreased in all years from 2,764.37 ha in 2003 to 999.05 ha in 2019. The study concluded that significant factors such as establishment of industries and manufacturing, location of the town and increase in population size and actors such as private investors, government officials and communities of the town were the top driving factors and actors that contribute a lot for the dramatic expansion of Dukem town. The town will be expected to reach about an average of 6,608.56 ha built area and an average of 181,520 populations by the year 2030.
