This study focused on the city of Shihr through the modernization of spatial reality for the uses of urban land in the internal structure of the city, using remote sensing and by using Air's Digital Image of the city for 2015 and analyzing it through Geographic information system software (GIS) to get modern informational data base on the reality and the evolution of urban land use and its growth trends in the future in order to take advantage of it by the specialists, researchers, engineers and geographers in decision-making and planning.

The researcher has found out the following: 1-The nature of the study area and its location make it between the natural simplified determinants but not crippling, as its location on the coastal strip, which controls the direction of its urban growth toward the east, west and north, as well as its radiantly visible form from the old city center towards suburbs .This limitation did not allow the growth of the city except to the exact direction .Therefore, this made it extend to capture all the empty spaces north of the city and other parts in the east and the west.

2-The overlap in land use standards in the city and the abuses have a significant effect that might affect the pattern of developmental functions and services in the internal structure of the city.

3-The road network and urban transport services in the city do not fit with the size of its population and its actual need.

the quality of some of its main and secondary streets is poor.

The paving the road sides does not allow an easy access.

4-There is a deficit in the efficiency of the gardens and parks in the city duo to the lack of green spaces exploitation .That disrupts its planning 5-Some poor actions and ill-advised planning decisions , helped disruption of land use standards , resulting in an overlap of number of these uses with other use - 6 Residential land uses occupied the first place with (55.7%) of the city area.

This is clear evidence of the importance of this use, while commercial positions came at the last level by (0.3%) of the city area and this is not a good sign because the commercial use strengthen the economic foundation of the city.

7-Al-Shahr City is one of the historical cities in Hadramout, and therefore the exploitation of Khor Al-Shahr as tourist project will help revive and develop the city in the future.
