English Abstract

Some marshes of Maysan province-Iraq have been selected as a case study to determine the best location of tourist site using Remote Sensing and GIS techniques.

Firstly the geodatabase of the project has been prepared.

It includes roads map, temperature degree map, land cover map and administrative map, after then, set of decision criteria, including the distance of the proposed site from marshes boundary, roads network, existence of the infrastructure as well as the oil area.

These criteria have been programmed in the ArcGIS-spatial model to determine the best location within the region study for tourist site.

The Ecological spatial database can be enhanced the tourist site location with more surveying data.

This leads to more accurate results.

Moreover, the social opinions of the people in the region study can be taken in the consideration in building the spatial database of the ecological aspect such as (fish, bird, etc…).
