The modern techniques of the information systems are considered as one of the most
important tools, that most institutions, bodies and organizations working in the areas of
planning and future development are seeking to use as effective analytical
and technical
tools for collecting and analyzing the vast amount of spatial and descriptive information
and the data of the human and natural phenomena, for both planners or decision-makers, at
the various stages of the planning process to cope with the urgent urban problems in
addition to supporting the completion of development plans in record time and high
quality, and reduce waste in energies and resources.
In this context, the research displays the advanced analytical techniques and tool, and
their role in whole planning processes, and identifies the methods of application of GIS
systems as the most efficient and widely used system in the fields of urban planning and
land use, and in developmental decisions support. Also, the research presents a practical
model for the distribution of tasks within the departments and institutions involved in the
planning, to introduce the information systems in their work, and highlights the most
important obstacles that may face the use of those systems.
The study comes up with a number of conclusions and recommendations for the
potential application of advanced techniques and avoiding obstacles, which directly
contribute to raising the efficiency and effectiveness of planning processes, and
improving the planning process management.
To determine the prime potential locations of the hydrocarbon structural traps in
Al-Qaryatein region, which can help in the hydrocarbon exploration processes and reducing a lot of time and fieldwork efforts, lineaments and circular features were i
dentified in the study area by processing and analysing Satellite data using several Remote Sensing techniques and Geographic Information Systems. The priority locations of subsurface structures were distinguished using several special criteria; these criteria are related to the density of the lineaments and their directions within the circular features of the study area. The priority locations of subsurface structures were evaluated by the integration of remote sensing and non-seismic geophysical data which were processed and interpreted by using their own techniques, to determine the prime potential locations of the hydrocarbon structural traps which reached three locations in the study area. The integration between geophysical data and remote sensing techniques increased the trust in the results of this study.
Studing and defining the types of soils by using the method of
integrating data of remote sensing and the devices measuring the
reflex rays such as radiometer and spectrometer ….etc is considered
one of very recent technology in such study,so that
we define the
reflexed spectrum intensity for the ground targets where the soil is
one of them that directly in the field and making comparsion of this
results with images of satellites where the channels of device do on
the same spectrum ranges of the satellites.
The expense of using the ground method is high an it requires
long time comparativilty using the space images to the same target.
In this research types of soils determined their speed
boundaries,drawing a map and making the reflexed graph for them.
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 includes a full analysis of climatic, vegetation, and topographical factors in Nabe Matta preserve (Drekish Region – Tartous Governorate – Syria), which is considered as the most important factors affecting forest fires. The data were coll
ected for each fire and analyzed by statistical programs (SPSS) and (EXCEL), and the relationship between these multiple factors and the phenomenon of recurrence of fire in one area (fire risk region) was studied. Then the data and the results of the analysis and multi relationship had been studied within the geographic information system software (GIS) to obtain the map of fire risk region, as well as results from topographic maps (1:50.000), aerial photographs (1:25.000), and the needed maps were designed for the study such as (slope map - aspect map - vegetation cover map - infrastructure map - fire risk region map),then places of monitoring towers and centers of rapid intervention in high-risk areas have been proposed for the occurrence of fires. These maps are considered as warning systems and with it we can predict the probability of any fire in the Preserve when the appropriate conditions are provided for it.
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 work is concerned with studying and analyzing the satellite
imagery to extract and integrate lineament by using logic operator technique
(Baridi J., 2000), in turn of lineaments analysis and interpretation to clarify the
general struct
ural framework of the south eastern part of Sinai which have
complex tectonic. This study revealed that there is sort of tectonic rotation,
affecting the area in clockwise direction. Accordingly the tectonic activity
seaward is believed to be stronger than that landward, i.e. the stability in the
zone behind the shore line is less than that in the land side. Since the tectonic
activity in the study area comes from sea towards land, along an E-W direction,
the Gulf of Suez tectonism is suggested to effect the study area, where the
tectonic activity decrease from N to S. The surface activities i.e. (erosion)
decrease toward the north, south and shore line of the Gulf basin more than
that at its middle part. The tectonic activity in this study classified according to
the lineaments thickness to reveal the shallow, intermediate and Deep seated
tectonic.
Climate change is the major global challenge facing water resources managers
because of its impacts on many life fields beginning with agriculture activities to economic
- social regions. In this study, drought in the eastern north of Syria have be
en investigated
(Hasake, Rakka, DerAzzor, Bokmal, Kameshli) using a set of data containing precipitation
data for period from 2000 to 2010, and MODIS time series images for the same period.
This study assure that 2008/2009 described as drought period in the study area, and the
NDVI maps ,which we have, give us an idea about the vegetation status and patterns in the
study area. The study clearly show that NDVI and rainfall was found to be highly
correlated in Rakka with P- Value= 0.003; and medium correlated in the other stations with
P- Value > 0.05.
Results of this study verify needing to use this index (NDVI), along with
precipitation data, in drought monitoring in the eastern north region of Syria. So that,. It
would help managers in making decisions to face drought in this area.
Studying and drawing the soil maps is considered by using the way of data

Naby Matta protected area managers; this data-base is basically helping in the development
of the ecotourism. The results of research confirmed the importance of geographic
information systems in designing of database and the various maps and its role in
determining the steps tourism development such as determining the places of assimilation
and classify it according of the visitors density, select the better tracks for pedestrians, the
appointment of entry points and restaurants, observation points, in addition to the
investment potential of geographic information systems in spatial analysis such as
proximity and distance analysis of particular point from another point, or search for a
particular tourist attraction and find it such as searching for the best spots to enjoy the
picturesque scenery away from sensitive environmental housing thus saving time and
effort and speed in the service of visitors.
