ABSTRACT:
This Article is set to track and monitor
changes through spatial dependence of remote sensing data and GIS analysis, the
suggested working method in this research is by sub pixel classification
techniques. Change detection is a central task for land cover monitoring by
remote sensing. It uses multi temporal image data sets in order to detect land
cover changes from spectral discrepancies [1] (Rafael, et al.). It
discusses the study perception of the situation in the past as well as the
current and finally the future status of changes that land uses in Eastern Qena
meander specifically in places of estuary floods, and the most important
estuary leading to Qena, and whether these changes in land are used in direction of
the mouth of the stream or not, especially that when it happened before, it
caused destruction of both activities, urban & agricultural land. It will
rely on Landsat images in years of (1972-2012),
conduct analysis, different classifications integration with geographic
information systems (GIS), and field as well as samples for the accuracy
assessment.
