Abstract[1]
One of the main challenges in the urban development process in developing countries is their accelerated growth, which, if this growth issporadic and unplanned,it will pose a lot of problems to the urban management process and planning.The city of Ahwaz is one of the cities in our country that has witnessed arapid and scattered growth in urban land development in recent years. According to the status map of the urban land development, this trend has been intensifying year by year and has led to challenges in providing services and infrastructural resources in the city. In this regard, due to the necessity of the issue, in the present study, we tried to use a descriptive-analytical method to evaluate land use changes in the metropolis of Ahwaz between 1989 and 2013. Data collection in descriptive section was done through the study of library documents, and in the analytical part of the research, by extraction of satellite images TM (Thematic Mapper) for the years of 1985 and 2013 from Ahwaz city. Envi 4.8 and Arc GIS 10.2 software have been used to perform statistical and visual analyzes on satellite imagery. The results show that during the years 1989 to 2013 about 23 percent of the share of barren and agricultural lands have decreased and on the other side the share of built-up lands has increasedfrom 16.35 to 34.55, most of which are related to the Southern and Eastern parts of Ahwaz (Parts of areas 4, 5 and 6 of the municipality).
