| Abstract | ||||
| Urban spraw1 is one of the main problems that led to the reduction of the limited fertile land in the Nile Delta in Egypt. The total area of the study area is 118685.81 ha. The purpose of this study was to estimate the changes in Agriculture are a due to urban sprawl in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt. It is delimited by latitudes 30°57′00′′ 31°29′00′′N and longitudes 30°35′00′′ 31°05′00′′E. Software’s (ENVI 5.1) have been used for processing and analyzing remote sensing data. Satellite data monitoring of land use –land cover changes in the study area. Three periods have been set in the studied area in 1981, 2001 and 2021, to study the agricultural area and urban sprawl. This study was carried out over three periods. The first case from 1981 to 2001, the urban increase in 2001 was greater than in 1981 by 2630 ha. The area cultivated during that period decreased by 2734.9 ha. The second case from 2001 to 2021.The urban increase in 2021 was greater than in 2001 by 1048.8 ha. The area cultivated during that period decreased by 1048.8 ha. The third case from 1981 to 2021, The urban increase in 2021 was greater than in 2001 by 3783.7 ha. The area cultivated during that period decreased by 3783.7ha. | ||||
