Abstract
Cities in Egypt are subjected to rapid indiscriminative spatial growth. Such unplanned growth in cities can cause significant negative impacts on the environment, such as dangerous overcrowding, poor sanitation and pollution. Also poorly planned, urbanization can lead to congestion, higher crime rates, increased levels of inequality and social exclusion. Proper local and regional planning is only possible if it is based on up-to-date information, so the spatial growth of cities must be monitored regally. Recent developments in remote sensing provide very high resolution imageries that partially in competition to aerial images. This thesis presents an evaluation of using IKONOS-2 and WorldView-2 satellite imageries for monitoring the growth of the built-up areas in the south part of Assiut city between 2006 and 2016. In addition a comparison between aerial orthoimage and satellite imagery was carried out to emphasis the advantages and disadvantages of these data sources for this purpose. Also, set of satellite imageries were downloaded from Google earth Pro application, and used in this study to determine the rate of spatial growth in the south part of Assiut city between 2011 and 2022.
