A workshop about Analysed Urban Expansion in Baghdad and Its impacts on Quality of Life
The Department of Remote Sensing and GIS in collaboration with the Development Continuing Education Unit at the College of Science, University of Baghdad, organized the tagged workshop “Analysis of Urban Expansion in Baghdad Using a Machine Learning Algorithm and Remote Sensitization Technologies” Under the auspices of the Dean of the College, Assistant Professor Dr. Raed Falih Hassan and supervised by the Head of the Department, Assistant Professor Dr. Bushra Ali Ahmed and the attendance of a number of research students, academics and urban planners.
The purpose of the workshop was to demonstrate the importance of management and planning in city centres to achieve the goals of sustainable development, conservation of natural resources, reduction of land degradation, and reversal using remote sensitization technologies and to demonstrate the causes of warming in Baghdad and its effects on quality of life.
The workshop lectured by Reem Shahab Hameed and Abir Nazar Abdul Hameed to demonstrate the importance of machine learning algorithms for accurate results in the classification of satellite imagery and the impact of urban sprawl in Baghdad city centre on surface warming, showing urban expansion must be based on modern and accurate methods. Urban expansion leads to environmental damage, economic losses and significant social impacts in the short and long terms, takes part in the loss of large areas of agricultural land for residential use and the food they can provide to the city’s inhabitants at a relatively lower price than areas far from the city, as well as the environmental benefit of cleaning the city’s atmosphere of pollutants and protecting it from desertification and sand creep.
