| Abstract | ||||
| This study was related to the urban development of Irbid City during 1955 - 1999 by using remote sensing technique and geographic information system. The results of the study indicated that the size of the city was increased 46 times through various directions based on images of 1978, towards south and east by using images of 1984, and towards north and east up to 1989. But images of 1995 showed that the urban development relatively covered the cold agricultural lands and connected with surrounded villages such as Saal, Bushra, Howaru, Aidon, Hakama, and Baitras. Besides that, images of 1999 indicated that the development increased here and there, eliminating most of crop lands. | ||||
