“…The implementation of ELECTRE TRI, a decision-making method, and a variant of the simple additive weighting method for the vector data model. These methods will be utilized to identify appropriate land for irrigation purposes [25]. Land suitability parameters coupled with fuzzy overlay analysis by assigning fuzzy membership values for each thematic layers, the land suitability map may be created for irrigation [26].…”

The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has played a crucial role in transforming irrigation management methods via the facilitation of spatial analysis and the enhancement of informed decision-making processes. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of the diverse scholarly literature, case studies, and reports to provide a comprehensive perspective on the multidimensional impact of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) on the transformation of irrigation methods. In order to demonstrate the variety of GIS applications in irrigation management, many case studies are investigated (Irrigation water management, decision support systems, site suitability analysis and Web-GIS), each of which comes from a different geographical setting. It examines GIS application advancements such cloud-based platforms, smartphone apps, and sensor networks. These technological developments make real-time data collecting and analysis possible, which, in the end, improves the precision and timeliness of choices about irrigation. The findings of this analysis provide a foundation for future research in this rapidly evolving topic and enhance our understanding of GIS applications in irrigation management.

“…Land suitability evaluation is, by broadly definition, identifying the spatial appropriateness for possible land uses according to geo-environmental conditions (Hopkins, 1977). Agriculture land suitability evaluation represents an important issue in many research papers and associated applications (Gong et al, 2012;Hossain and Das, 2010;Kurtener, 2008;Mendas et al, 2013). The final evaluation result usually presents a map that spatially allocates the agriculture land into different suitability classes, in such terms as most suitable, moderately suitable and not suitable.…”

“…The quality of the result obtained by this type of approach is highly dependent on the precision of the geometric superposition between the studied images. In fact, pixel comparison with its counterparts is mainly applied in regions where radiometry varies greatly from one point to another (Briki et al, 2007, Gacemi, 2010, Maille et al, 2011, Haddouche et al al., 2011, Ayache, 2012, Mendas et al, 2013and Merioua, 2014. NDVI is an index that is closely correlated with the chlorophyll activity of plant surfaces (Girard, 2000).…”

The Sdamas massif to which our contribution relates is located in West Algeria, it is an integral part of the Tiaret mountains. The aim of our study is to analyze the land cover of the Sdamas region over a 43-year interval grouped into 9 thematic classes: mineral surfaces (urban planning), wetland, vegetation, bare soils and fallow etc. The spatial and temporal dynamics of land use require regular monitoring of vegetation cover from remote sensing imagery. It is for this reason that we relied on field data to perform the diachronic analysis with three well-defined scenes 1972, 1998 and 2015, using Landsat satellite images (MSS, TM and ETM +). The analysis of these maps covering the same region shows the different changes that have taken place at ground level. We found that our natural plant space has undergone a strong degradation, disruption and regression because of different human activities, namely: overgrazing, clearing, fires, urbanization, (there has been a remarkable increase in the population of the communes of the study area). Inadequate and ineffective forestry interventions and work, and lack of sustained protection are reasons of these processes. Factors affecting the forest ecosystem are bioclimate and human action. Indeed, the bioclimate, through atmospheric drought, is the main factor governing the diversity of these formations of the Sdamas mountains.Анотація. Масив Сдамас розташований в Західному Алжирі, він становить невід'ємну частину гірської місцевості Тіарет. Мета нашого дослідження -аналіз земельного покриву в регіоні Сдамас за 43-річний період часу, поділений на 9 тематичних класів: кам'янисті поверхні (міське планування), водно-болотні угіддя, рослинний покрив, орний грунт тощо. Просторова і часова динаміка землекористування вимагає регулярного моніторингу рослинного покриву із застосуванням системи дистанційного зондування. Саме з цієї причини ми спиралися на поверхневі дані, щоб провести діахронічний аналіз за трьома чітко визначеними строками -1972, 1998 і 2015 роки, з використанням знімків Landsat (MSS, TM and ETM +). Аналіз цих карт, що охоплюють один і той же регіон, виявив різні зміни, які відбуваються на земній поверхні. Ми побачили, що поверхня під природним заростанням зазнала сильної деградації, руйнування і регресії через різні види антропогенної діяльності, а саме: надмірний випас худоби, утворення пустищ, пожежі, урбанізацію (значний приріст населення в районі дослідження). Неадекватні і неефективні лісогосподарські заходи, відсутність постійної охорони є чинниками цих процесів. Чинники, що впливають на лісові екосистеми, мають біокліматичне та антропогенне походження. Справді, біоклімат, через атмосферні посухи, являє собою основний чинник різноманітності цих утворень у гірській місцевості Сдамас.
