Abstract: In this study, the runoff curve number map for Navrud watershed in north of Iran was determined based on the soil hydrological group, land-use and land-cover using remote sensing and geographical information system. For this objective, land-cover and Land-use situation maps were prepared using NDVI index and Landsat satellite data, respectively. Runoff curve number maps were determined using the overlay prepared maps in GIS and SCS table. For evaluating the accuracy of estimated curve numbers, runoff maximum discharge was calculated using HEC-HMS model and compared to the observed values. Furthermore, the climate change trend and probabilistic distribution functions were considered to predict the flood risk. The effects of climate change were defined by atmospheric general circulation models for A1B, A2 and B1 scenarios. Error analysis between calculated and observed discharge showed that watershed curve number was determined with acceptable accuracy.

The objectives of the research were to make land suitability map for sugarcane plant (Saccharum officinarum), to give recommendation of location including area for sugarcane plant cultivation and to increase sugarcane plant productivity. The research used maps overlay and Geographical Information System (GIS) which used Arch-View Spatial Analysis version 2,0 A in Remote Sensing Laboratory, Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), Jakarta. The research was carried out in Tegal Regency starting from June to October 2004.The results of the research showed that the suitable, conditionally suitable, and not suitable land for sugarcane cultivation in Tegal Regency reached to a high of 20,227 ha, 144 ha, and 81,599 ha respectively. There were six most dominant kind of soil: alluvial (32,735 ha), grumosol 5,760 ha), mediteran (17,067 ha), latosol   (18,595 ha), glei humus (596 ha), and regosol (22,721 ha).

The Geographical Information Systems technology is used in many fields where the spatial information is very important and relevant, that means in all fields that use a system for saving, analyzing and representing the data which are processed. The aim of this paper is using modern technology for monitoring the environment. Geographical Information System together with remote sensing have a very important role in decision process regarding the environment. Integration of remote sensing images in a Geographical Information System which enables complex spatial analysis is a useful and modern solution for environmental management and decision-making process. Satellite images contain various information that can support environmental monitoring, images that can be analyzed and interpreted in various ways by using the Geographical Information System tools.
