Abstract EN

The main purpose of this research is to illustrate the effect of including the Aljiza area (471km 2) as an agricultural land to the Amman plan of Greater Amman Municipality in 2007.

Amman expanded on the surrounding agricultural area, not merely because of urbanization, population growth and migration, but also because of the declining urban density and because it is the dominant city.

To show the effect of this expansion, remote sensing and GIS techniques have been used for the suggested Amman expansion to produce land use map and soil map and to perform suitability analysis of the characteristics of the soil of the area for urban growth.

Land use analysis showed that 89 km 2 is actually used in the area, around 47 km 2 of which are planted with trees and vegetables.

The Amman Plan was divided into three main stages.

The expansion will start during the second stage (2014-2019), which will affect the northern part (28.9 km 2) of the area which is classified as agricultural land and is located inside the urban range bordered from the south by Amman Development Corridor.

The third stage (2019-1025) will include expansion of built up area (60.4 km 2) outside the urban range in Aljiza and in Jalul in the western part of the area and those are classified as agricultural lands.

The total of 38 km 2 are designed for industrial use, part of which is used for agricultural purposes nowadays.

The study recommended preventing any activity over agricultural land and distributing investments to other regions, preventing any economic activity over agricultural land and making expansion towards less arable lands in the east.
