Abstract: This study goals to investigate the major cause of urban expansion in urban areas mainly in Aleta Wendo town. Aleta Wondo town show that rapid expansion in four direction but has been tackled with an increasingly growing and cause environmental problem and urban waste generation and management problem there are many wastes that disposal from different source and the way of management of those solid waste is poor. Aleta Wondo Town is increasing rapidly and this has brought land use land cover conversion into urban use for different purposes mainly to residential and industrial purposes. The study was Showed based on both qualitative and quantitative methods using spatial analysis of remote sensing and GIS systems As general conclusion of the study is Urban expansion has both positive and negative implication on the urban development environment. This study shows that Aleta Wondo Town is one of Ethiopian urban situations feeling unique rate of urbanization through spreading out. The results of the study displayed that the fashion of urban Expansion growth from time to time mostly urban Agricultural land ,urban green area and bare land have been transformed into different urban Development uses such as housing purpose, for manufacturing, and salable, recreational and other different organizations. The dominant Influences that pay to fast spreading out of the town are deliberated with detail clarification of the data. The Opposing effects of fast urban spreading out on the natural surroundings due to land use variation and in the Town as well as nearby areas deliberated in detail. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the consequence of horizontal urban spreading out on natural environment however for the upcoming study it is essential to concentration on community and Trade and industry impacts. So I recommend that urban urban expansion is better with by using GIS and Remote Sensing technology by forecast future population and by study by which direction of urban expansion is more affect environment.
