Abstract

Nowadays, rapid urban growth and urbanization is continuing to be one of the most important problems of global change, especially in developing countries. This process is most visible and powerful and has a key role in urban land-use and land-cover changes and landscape pattern changes around the world. Remote sensing and geographic information system are a reliable source to understand and quantify urban expansion. This study uses Landsat 5 TM imagery associated with GIS techniques to monitor urban growth in Koya city in the North Iraqi Kurdistan region between 1990, 2000, and 2010. The ERDAS 9.2 imagine software was applied to measure and display land use classes changing utilizing supervised classification of maximum likelihood. The outcomes demonstrate that the land-cover classes faced great changes between 1990 and 2010. For instance, the built-up area increased dramatically from 279.9 hectares in 1990 to 992.79 hectares in 2010; whereas the rate of vegetation cover decreased dramatically from 2,199.87 hectares to 576.09 hectares in 2010. This was due to environmental change and socio-economic and political factors. Total accuracy assessments of all images show that the image classification process was very accurate, with overall accuracy greater than 95%.
