Al- Qusier region is important agricultural areas in Syria, and
contribute to cover a significant part of the agricultural needs of the country ,but it was suffering of poor land use in some locations.
This study aims to prepare maps of land use an
d land cover using
remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS)
techniques, the study relied on SPOT-4 satellite images with spatial resolutions 10 m for (white–black) images and 20 m for color images.
The study found a view of results were the ability of remote sensing and geographic information systems in the production of accurate maps of land use/land cover and establish a digital database for spatial land use and land cover for Al- Qusier region.
This study was related to the urban development of Homs City and
its surrounding between 1972 – 2010 by using remote sensing
technique and geographic information system. The results of the
study indicated that the size of the city was increased 60
0% times ,
randomly and eliminating most of crop lands.
The present study aimed at determining the status of integrated
technology by faculty members in the teaching process among
governmental and private universities in Jordan. The study also
investigated the obstacles that hindered integrated technol
ogy in the
teaching process as perceived by faculty members.
This study aims to evaluate the faculty members’ satisfaction’s (270
faculty members) on the campus climate at academic and applied
universities in Jordan as perceived by faculty members. Also, it aims to
investigate the effect of gender, academic
rank, and experience factors in
evaluating campus climate.
By using an arithmetic mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, and t-test
to investigate the indication of the study sample response, the study
concludes that evaluation of campus climate at academic and applied
universities as perceived by faculty members is, in general, medium.
Faculty members were more satisfied in applied campus climate than
academic climate.
Based on the t-test analysis, differences in campus climate were
found for academic rank, experience in higher education. But there were
no differences for gender. Finally implications for practice are provided
for higher education institutions to improve campus climate.
This study concentrates the use of remote sensing and geographic
information systems to identify prospective areas for water
harvesting, This study concentrates on the identification of the
potential areas for water harvesting projects in Hessia a
nd the
adjacent areas, within a total area of 1300 km2.
The data and information for the study area are collected from
different sources and satellite images. The thematic maps and
digital database were prepared through analysis and visual and
automatic interpretation of satellite images, and analysis and
intersections between different layers were procedure in order to
apply the criteria that are used in these studies to determine
optimal and typical sites for the establishment of preparation water
harvesting.
The result of this study shows the efficiency of using the remote
sensing techniques and the geographic information system in the
identification of the potential areas for water harvesting projects.
