Green spaces are playing an essential role for ecological balance and for human health in the city as well.They play a fundamental role in providing opportunities for relaxation and enjoying the beauty of naturefor the urban population. Therefore, it is important to produce detailed vegetation maps to assist plannersin designing strategies for the...
Most cities in the world have experienced major developments in the past 20–25 years. However, research has showed that the development aspect of these cities has led to a decrease in green areas. This paper aims to assess the spatiotemporal variations of urban green areas during the period 1990–2015 with special regard to city of Erbil. The study...
The Semi-arid regions of Iraq, particularly Erbil has experienced significant changes in vegetation cover over the past 15 years, due to factors like urbanization, population growth and economic development. The research aims to detect spatiotemporal changes in vegetation cover in and around the city of Erbil from 2000 to 2015. By using the Normali...
Worldwide, most cities have experienced major development in the last 20-25 years, in most cases resulting in a decrease in green areas, as shown by previous research. Therefore, this paper aims to assess the spatiotemporal variations of urban green areas in the 1990-2015 timeframe in the city of Erbil, one of Iraq’s fastest developing cities, usin...
The rate of global urbanization is exponentially increasing and reducing areas of natural vegetation. Remote sensing can determine spatiotemporal changes in vegetation and urban land cover. The aim of this work is to assess spatiotemporal variations of two vegetation indices (VI), the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Veget...
