Abstract
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) are modern and important technical tools for monitoring desertification, its risks, and control measures. They enable the exploration of target properties remotely and without contact, after which GIS software is used to input, store, analyze data, information, and maps, leading to the extraction of results and indicators that help address desertification in the region and manage its resources.
Monitoring land cover and land use can be defined as the periodic collection of information about the surface of the earth and its land cover and uses in a specific area through periodic surveys of that area using remote sensing data. This allows for monitoring changes in land cover and land use, identifying their locations, sizes, and types.
It can be said that satellite images are a visual historical record of land use and land cover patterns in different time periods when the images were taken. Therefore, the importance of remote sensing data lies in its contemporary use in surveying and planning land uses, to identify areas affected by desertification and environmental changes in the study area.
