اتجاهات التوسع العمراني في مركز قضاء المقدادية

Abstract EN

Remote sensing technology and GIS have already shown their suitability for directions of urbanization mapping, as space-borne remote sensing data can contribute significantly to the derivation of earth use and ground cover information, especially when other data are not available or when on-site data collection is difficult and consumes many resources, such as areas that are difficult to access or prone to unregulated urban growth.

Through remote sensing technologies (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), directions of urbanization in Al-Meqdadiya District Center were identified during 2019 via the use of OLI-TIRs on Landsat 8.

Which showed that there is a disparity in the directions and axes of urbanization within the study area.
