الملخص EN

This paper relied on remote sensing techniques (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in detecting and classifying land cover and land uses in Al-Meqdadiya district center from 1995 to 2019 via the use of space sensors (TM, ETM+, OLI-TIRS) in Landsat 5, Landsat 7 and Landsat 8.

It was possible to find out five types of land cover and land use, in which the built land (urban) and barren land increased until they reached up to (11.78% ) and (53.11% ) respectively.

Whereas agricultural lands and water declined to (12.47% ) and (3.46% ) respectively in 2019.

Moreover, the number of pastures was characterized by variation during the study period.
