Abstract The near chora (agricultural land) of Tauric Chersonesos was investigated using multiyear remote sensing data and field surveys. The boundaries of the land plots were studied with GIS (Geographic Information Systems) technology and an analysis of satellite images. Reliable reconstruction of the borders has been done for 231 plots (from a total of about 380), which is approximately 53% of the Chersonesean chora. During the last 50 years, most of the ancient land plots have been destroyed by modern buildings, roads, or forests. However, in the 1960s, a significant part of the chora was still preserved. Changes in preservation with time were studied with the aid of satellite images that were made in 1966 and 2015. During that period, it was found that the number of plots with almost-complete preservation decreased from 47 to 0. Those land plots whose preservation was better than 50% dropped from 104 to 4. A temporal map shows this decline in preservation. It was found that the areas of land plots could be determined accurately with satellite images; compared to field surveys, this accuracy was about 99%.

Souda is one of the important regions in Saudi Arabia in terms of spatial and temporal changes in vegetation cover; It includes the National Park, which is a leading tourist destination and one of the most beautiful parks in it. by tracking the spatial and temporal changes of vegetation cover by integrating remote sensing and geographic information systems, through the application of the modified soil vegetation index MSAVI during the period (2014- 2018), it became clear the decrease in the quantity and density of vegetation cover in the area. Thus, the study concluded that this indicator is one of the best indicators that can be used to extract vegetation cover from satellite images.
