The Effect of the Earthen Declivities on the Human Activity in Shaqlawa by the Use of RS and GIS

Abstract

The The paper concluded by the use of the remote sensing,R.S and geographicinformation system, GIS and classifying the earthen cover that the human inhabited areais(23.4 sequer K.M.) what equals(%1.3) of the total area of the study. The employment ofthe agricultural land is(484.1sequer K.M.) ,(%27.2) while the employment of the pastoralland is(518.3 sequer K.M.),(%29.2), the humid land is(351.3 sequar K.M.) ,(%28.3),desertedlands make an area of(241.1 sequer K.M.),(%14.0) of the total area of Shaqlawa. The roadsare varied in length and its total length is(351 sequar K.M).The reason of the length isthat these roads are not straightforward due to the effect of the mountain declivities likethe declivities in Berman, Saffeen ,Hareer,Siblik and Shakrok mountains . The classificationstated that the inhabited and agricultural areas are small in comparison to the pastoralarea because a large area of the land in Shaqlawa could not be used for inhabitation oragriculture because of the declivities so it is used for other purposes such as posterity
