Land Cover Change in Jerash Governorate between (1952-2009) Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS)
This research is an analysis of the impact of topographic factors upon the distribution and change of land cover as detected by GIS and RS techniques. Various Topographic characteristics were derived using triangulated irregular networks (TIN) as represented in 1:50000 topographic maps of the Jerash Governorate. Aerial photographs of 1: 25000 scale for the years (1952 & 2009) were also used in this study. This study aims at identifying the main of land cover and land use in the Jerash Governorate first, then determining the topographic including elevation, slope, and slope direction to analyze their impact upon the distribution of land cover and land use. This study found that there are four main types of land cover in the Governorate (agricultural land, forests, unutilized land and urban land). The rate of change was found to be as follows:)44.1 %(, in agricultural land, )76 % (in forests, )608%( in urban land and )-47.75%( in un utilized lands. The final results of this study could be concluded in determining the rates of change in land cover and land use and the analysis of the nature of change in light of topographic variables including: elevation, slope and slope aspect.
