Abstract This study compared and classified of land use and land cover changes by using Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) on two cities (Al-Saydiya city and Al-Hurriya) in Baghdad province, capital of Iraq. In this study, Landsat satellite image for 2020 were used for (Land Use/Land Cover) classification. The change in the size of the surface area of each class in the Al-Saydiya city and Al-Hurriya cities was also calculated to estimate their effect on environment. The major change identified, in the study, was in agricultural area in Al-Saydiya city compare with Al-Hurriya city in Baghdad province. The results of the research showed that the percentage of the green area from the total area in Al-Saydiya city is 34.95%, while in Al-Hurriya is 27.53%. Therefore, available results of land use and land cover changes can provide critical input to decision-making of environmental management and planning the future.

Evaluation of land use land cover (LULC) change is an essential aspect of development in rural and urban sectors. This paper investigates the changes in LULC aspects of an environmentally vulnerable Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) area in the middle-Ganga Plain, India. We offer Remote Sensing (RS), and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques delineated LULC types include water bodies, agriculture land, fallow land, wasteland, built-up land and vegetation of the study area. LULC mapping of the study area was done through False Color Composite (FCC) Satellite image Resourcesat-1 (IRS P6 LISS-IV) and Resourcesat 2A (IRS-R2A LISS-IV) with 5.8-meter spatial resolution data of the year 2007 and 2018 respectively. The supervised classification and maximum likelihood equation were used to classified two multi-temporal images. Then temporal changes were detected by comparison between two LULC classified maps of 2007 and 2018, which was produced independently. Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) area, Patna is one of the environmentally vulnerable areas under the threat of environmental and ecological degradation as a result of human activities due to improper land cover management. The main objective of using change detection is an important technique to detect changes in LULC over time in PMC, Patna between 2007-2018, and it is significant for updating land cover or natural resource management. The interpretation of this study has substantial changes in LULC occurred in the Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC) area, Patna within the period 2007-2018, related to urbanisation and economic development. The analysis outcome indicates the most remarkable changes occurred an increase in Built-up, (+) 21.86 % between 2007-2018, whereas the area of cropland and vegetation decreased (-) 8.95 % and (-) 5.8% respectively between 2007-2018. In the spatial distribution pattern, other changes have also occurred. This study will give the benefit in future action plans in land use and urban development and avoid LULC changes without proper planning. It will be most significant for the natural environment.

The departments of Filingué and Balleyara, which are our study area, are located in the northern part of Dallol Bosso, Tillabéri region in western Niger. This study area is circumscribed between 13 ° 35 'and 14 ° 40' north latitudes and 2 ° 50 'and 3 ° 30' East longitude. The effects of climate variability and change in the region since the 1970s have had significant impacts on ecosystems. This paper focuses on analyzing the dynamics of land use land cover in that area. The methodology based on the interpretation of the satellite image for 1972, 1987 and 2016 has led to important results. Thus, there is a notable decline in areas covered by natural plant formations (tiger bush and steppe). Indeed, they range from 28.79% in 1972 to 12.15% in 2016 of the total surface area of the study area. However, farmland increased from 164772 ha in 1972 to 200 697 ha in 2016, an increase of 22%. In addition, the bare spaces which were only 666 ha in 1972 moved to 4189 ha, an increase of more than 500%. Finally, the number of semi-permanent pools rose from 219 to 833 from 1972 to 2016, while the number of Koris increased from 280 to 1573 during the same period, an increase of more than 400%. It seems necessary to take urgent measures to safeguard the ecosystems of the region to allow a more balanced development of the area.
