The study aimed to identify the role of ecotourism in the development of local communities near Dana and Ajloun in Jordan, through a field study that targeted the views of the population in the communities close to the, in Reservation addition to interviews with the responsible authorities in those Reservation. the study included 152 respondents fr...

The study aims to calculate the quantities of water that used for production of irrigated agriculture crops in the 2017/2018 season in Mujib Basin. The methodology was based on the field survey and spatial analysis techniques. The areas of irrigated crops in the basin were using the sentinel image and unsupervised classification. The water needs of...

Satellite derived indices e.g. NDVI have been widely used for vegetation analysis and change detection studies at different spatial scales. This study analyses the vegetation characteristics and impact of long-term variation in vegetation cover upon land degradation in Jordan. The inclination and significance of NDVI trends, which are derived from...

The objective of this research was to investigate the pattern of land use change and its impact on land degradation in the Mediterranean regions of Jordan. Land use was interpreted using aerial photos and high-resolution satellite images and fieldwork carried out in 2018. Assessment of the degradation vulnerability degree was based on comparing the...

Background: The energy sector plays an important role in the economic growth in Jordan due to the fact that Jordan imports around 97% of its needs from primary energy. The purpose of this study is to explore the pattern of electricity consumption and energy loss to highlight the strengths and weakness of energy efficiency in the context of the urba...

The mountainous region represents the most important agricultural and biodiversity haven in Jordan. The objective of this study is to characterize the seasonal pattern of land use and vegetation using multi-temporal SPOT images. Multi-temporal SPOT images were analyzed to characterize the land use and cropping pattern in the mountain regions of Jor...

The aim of this study is to analyze the land use pattern and roads network in relation to the population density and distribution. The GIS analysis tools was used to investigate and describe the characteristics of land use pattern. method by utilizing the methods of surveying and spatial statistical analysis, and studying the areas’ topography; whi...

The urbanization processes and the accelerated growth in the Arab countries, during the last five decades, have resulted in negative social impact represented in the high rates of unemployment and poverty. This was accompanied with problems related to the provision of infrastructure and social facilities, inadequate housing for low-income persons a...

Analysis of the Geomorphological Characteristics of Badiat Al-Harra in Jordan using Digital Elevation Model and GIS Ziad Makamreh and Yusra Al-Husban* ABSTRACT Badiat Al-Harra is part of Badiat -Alsham and has an ecological and economical importance for the North- East part of Jordan. The objective of this study is to determine the geomorphological...

This study aims to analyze road network in Mafraq Governorate using graphs theory and some quantitative methods in order to recognize the reality of the road network in terms of the degree of Connectivity and Circuitry and Accessibility and the Detour Index. In addition to the relationship between the lengths of the network and population distribut...

This chapter discusses the environmental degradation in Arab countries and the challenges to Arab human security that result from mis-urbanization and climate change. It considers the impact of climate change on natural resources in the Arab countries, and evaluates the role of renewable energy in solving these problems. These challenges are interr...

The aims of this study are to examine and clarify the general trends in minimum temperature, number of frost days, and severity of frost in the north-eastern Badia region of Jordan between 1980 and 2010.
