Abstract
National projects play a vital role in economic development globally, with particular significance in developing countries to increase per capita income and ensure sustainable social and economic progress by responsibly utilizing resources. The axis of the new Suez Canal and the surrounding megaprojects exemplify initiatives striving to balance sustainable resource development with environmental and economic considerations. This thesis proposes an integrated methodology using remote sensing techniques and geospatial data to evaluate the impact of major national projects on sustainable development goals in the study area surrounding the new Suez Canal axis in Egypt. The proposed methodology introduces a novel approach to assess the impact of major national projects on sustainability across various aspects, employing geospatial data and remote sensing techniques. This involves creating assessment maps and land sustainability classification, enabling the evaluation of environmental, social, and economic factors. The objectives to achieve the proposed methodology are as follows: Define a set of indicators based on the United Nations’ seventeen sustainable development goals and establish methods to evaluate them using geospatial data and remote sensing techniques, assessing the role and impact of national projects on these indicators; Generate maps using accurate and efficient methods and sub-methodologies to illustrate the evaluation process outlined in the proposed research methodology, utilizing satellite images and remote sensing techniques and measure the extent of change in the study area’s sustainability index during the study period (2014-2020) to assess the impact of national projects on spatial changes and their contribution to achieving sustainable development goals using artificial intelligence techniques.
