Measuring of Human Assembly Density on the Urban Sprawling by using of Remote Sensing Techniques

Expansion and urban spaces sprawling are one of the important areas in the field of urban research that requires its own policy-making and planning. The nature of urban creep largely determines the type and manner of planning. Therefore, identifying the type and direction of urban creep using efficient techniques and methods is of particular importance. In this regard, the present study has investigated the effect of human gatherings on urban creep in Iraq using remote sensing (RS) techniques. Among the man-made gatherings and gatherings, the Arbaeen March has been selected because of its increasing importance and quality. The findings show that urban creep in Iraq has increased since 2003, in areas directly and indirectly exposed to the Arbaeen sidewalk; this increase has occurred both in terms of area and in terms of urban density. Comparison of urban growth during Saddam Hussein's rule in Iraq (1980 to 2003) added to the land use area each year showed a fourfold urban Sprawling.
