This study was analyzed the temporal variation of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) of natural stands of cedrus libani in the northern humid part and eastern exposure of the Syrian coastal mountains (Slenfeh, Jawbat Burghal), and its correlation with climatic variables (temperature and precipitation) during the period of 2004-2014. We examined the interannual and seasonal variation in NDVI values of Cedrus stands, and accumulative effects of climatic variables (temperature and precipitation) on stands using simple linear regression and correlation (Pearson). The NDVI values of Cedrus libani stands showed significant increase in Slenfeh and Jawbat Burghal (0.006, 0.004 /year) respectively. We found that the annual mean NDVI was significantly correlated with annual mean precipitation in Jawbat Burghal (R = 0.689).The significant increase trend of seasonal mean NDVI was in Slenfeh summer and Jawbat Burghal winter (R = 0.638, R = 0.724) respectively. The results showed, there were accumulative effects of temperature on Cedrus libani in Slenfeh and Jawbat Burghal in autumn and winter, while the accumulative effects of precipitation in autumn and summer were noted.

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.
The importance of this modern technology (remote sensing) follows from the fact that it allows estimating the wood stock by knowing the value of the NDVI index, which reduces the high cost and great effort needed by traditional forestry measurements.
The research focuses on the demands on the study of the total investment evolution, agricultural, investment and knowledge of the nature of the changes taking place during the period (2000-2011), and evaluate the performance of the economy and its ability to attract investments from the lack of it, in addition to the analysis of the factors affecting the total investment, agriculture and investment in Syria. Using descriptive and analytical approach, and quantitative analysis of the record, and it was the most important findings: that the annual growth of the net balance of payments is negative rate and the rate of 18.35-%, which will result in the deterioration of its value from year to year, as demonstrated by the total flexibility to function total investment transactions that increase the value of both exports College (x1), and foreign reserves (X3), and the deficit in the state budget (X8) 1% can lead both to increase the total investment by 3.5%, in total flexibility transactions to function agricultural investment showed that the increase in the value of each of the total exports GNP (X2), and foreign reserves (X3), the net balance of payments (X6) 1% can lead both to increase the total investment by 22.3%, and is the former variables of the most important determinants-oriented investment product and agriculture in Syria. Accordingly it requires the Syrian economy in order to increase its investments create the economic climate, and political investment and economic development.
The aim of the research was to clarify the pre-processing steps required for satellite images before starting to analyze and extract data from them using the ENVI program. Radiometric and topographic correction applied to the Landsat image 2017, an d then we calculated the NDVI index for this image before and after applying pre-processing. The results showed a difference in the spectral values of the image before and after the radiometric correction, especially in near infrared band. The reflection values were recorded in the original image between (40-50) and (300-3500) in the corrected image. The difference in the reflection values after the topographical correction was also visible on the near- infrared and infrared bands, especially in the points where shadows of the terrain. Differences in the values of NDVI for 2017 were observed before and after the application of pre-processing on the image, especially in points of good and very good vegetation coverage with high values of the index. The study concluded that it is important to follow the minimum number of steps required for preprocessing steps in order to avoid unnecessary steps and recommend well tested, readily available, and adequately documented data approaches and data products.
comprehensive planning process for projects and private investment in residential areas and Accessories form One of the main components of the urban planning process to guide the processes of growth and urbanization away from the emergence of forms of growth that’s wrong, and that may be deposited in hazardous and disaster-prone areas. Since the disaster management imperative of sustainable development in all economic, social, political and environmental aspects of factors, it was a must for this administration to be at the heart of all national planning processes and in particular urban planning. As a result, search arrive at a unified model to collect basic realism and results for all the infrastructure and service activities of information, as well as to develop a matrix to identify and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the areas required to be studied according to the classification of all the data required and events urban.
