Abstract
Mapping of Alkubub dunes land Cover within an Urban-desert environment using LANDSAT Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery is the main objective of this study. Regional and urban planning analysis studies for Land Cover mapping has proved to be an effective tool to monitor natural and human-induced environmental changes. In this study supervised classification using maximum likelihood classifier has been used to identify surrounding dunes terrain. It has been proved that the proposed scheme is capable to delineate different features including vegetation, roads, Moderate Arable Land (MAL), Good Arable Land (GAL), Non-agricultural land (NAL), and urban with high classification accuracy.
