Abstract

Over the past two decades, the expansion of Shahrebeez to the surrounding areas has caused the destruction of resources and environmental problems, including the disruption of the ecological balance, the increase in service costs, the construction of unsuitable land, the aggravation of air pollution, and the lack of attention to existing worn-out structures and progressing trends. Previously, environmental quality has been reduced. The purpose of this study was to analyze the changes in urban land use of Tabriz with satellite images to determine the nature and intensity of these changes and in which directions and in which cases they are more so that a solution to these problems can be considered. In this research, land use changes in Tabriz city in three periods (2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020) were investigated using multi-temporal data of Landsat satellite images in ENVI 5.8 software, and the results were analyzed in Arc GIS 10.2 software. And its results were produced in the form of a map. The obtained results show that the lands built during the period of 20 cases of Matala, from 30% in 2000 to 0.53 in 2020, which has increased by 23.0% in this 2020 year.
