dc.description.abstractThis study identifies the desertification problems and their degree of severity in the study area. The research is conducted in the Jafara Plain which is located in the North-West of Libya because it is one of the most important areas in the country where there is high population density. More than 50% of the total population of the country resides in this plain. The plain constitutes more than 60% of the total irrigated agricultural land in Libya. It also produces more than half of the country’s agricultural needs. The study employs the use of Remote Sensing as the major source of data gathering and analysis. Satellite images of the study area are considered as the main data used in this study. Considering spatial resolution of the available satellite images and the size of the study area, Landsat5 TM images are selected for this study. Two cloud-free Landsat data with different acquired dates (1989 and 2005) for Path 189 and Row 037 provided by the Libyan Center for Remote Sensing and Space Science, covering the investigated area are used in this research. These satellite data are used in order to obtain the advantages of their ability in mapping soils, vegetation and sand dunes, which covered some places in the study area. Moreover, the data are analyzed statistically by using SPSS.en_US
