The Effect of the Earthen Declivities on the Human Activity in Shaqlawa by the Use of RS and GIS.

Abstract

The The paper concluded by the use of the remote sensing, RS and geographic information system, GIS and classifying the earthen cover that the human inhabited area is (23.4 sequer KM) what equals (% 1.3) of the total area of the study. The employment of the agricultural land is (484.1 sequer KM),(% 27.2) while the employment of the pastoral land is (518.3 sequer KM),(% 29.2), the humid land is (351.3 sequar KM),(% 28.3), deserted lands make an area of (241.1 sequer KM),(% 14.0) of the total area of Shaqlawa. The roads are varied in length and its total length is (351 sequar KM). The reason of the length is that these roads are not straightforward due to the effect of the mountain declivities like the declivities in Berman, Saffeen, Hareer, Siblik and Shakrok mountains. The classification stated that the inhabited and agricultural areas are small in comparison to the pastoral area because a large area of the land in Shaqlawa could not be used for inhabitation or agriculture because of the declivities so it is used for other
