Digital Processing of Changing Vegetation Coveragei In Kufa District using Arc GIS
Abstract
The research aims to detect and control the spatial change of vegetation in Kufa district during the agricultural seasons base season (1999-2000) and the comparison season (2018-2019), as remote sensing data were used in the GIS environment through the analysis of space visuals. For the seasons mentioned and the calculation of the vegetation index (NDVI) and the mapping that reveals the change in the area of vegetation in the study area and according to the agricultural seasons and extract the rate of change to determine the direction of change, the study showed that the area of vegetation in the autumn season (1999) reached (162927.5 Dunham(, while in the autumn season (2018) increased to (180,783.7 dunums), on the contrary for the spring agricultural season, the total area of vegetation for the base season (2000) (150,356 dunums) while decreasing to (41,757 dunums) In the spring comparison season (2019), overlay analysis was used to find spatial differences in vegetation positions, with total vegetative cover areas with vegetative loss of seasons (1999-2000) (16,761.3 dunums) and (2,442.1 dunams).
