“…The NDVI value ranges from -1 to +1, the increasing of positive values indicates more green vegetation and the decreasing negative values indicates other categories like water, arid land, ice, snow, or clouds., NDVI can be calculated by equation below [22].…”

Changes in land surface reflectance measured by remote sensing data can be useful in climate change studies. This study attempts to Evaluation of the relationship between Snow cover index and Land surface temperature for by used Normalized snow index (S3), Land Surface Temperature (LST), in Sulaymaniyah city, northeastern Iraq. Data from Landsat5 TM and Landsat8 OLI images were used to detect the change in snow cover and land surface temperature during the study period years 1987, 1999, 2009, and 2022. ArcGIS 10.8 is used to determine the variations and calculate S3, NDVI, and LST index indices. All S3 maps have shown a decrease trend from 1987 to 2022 which depicted decreases of snow cover area. Also, LST has increased from 13°C in 1987 to 19 °C in 2022. also the results showed S3 and LST correlation has a strong reverse relationship existed in each year. The reverse relationship found between S3 and LST indicates that areas in which increase land surface temperature it leads to inducing much changes in snow cover.

Progressing globalisation and suburbanisation are driving dynamic changes in land management, particularly in suburban zones. Green infrastructure and its impact on human quality of life are playing an increasingly important role in appropriate spatial management, because of human activities that are changing the natural environment. Therefore, monitoring and assessing the proportion of green spaces is essential for environmental, urban and social balance. The purpose of the study is to develop a method for measuring and monitoring the diversity of land cover classes, including green spaces as representatives of natural land cover classes. The proposed method describes the current state of land in quantitative and qualitative terms based on spatial data on land cover. The study employs Shannon’s Diversity Index (SHDI) to empirically investigate land cover homogeneity. The intensity of the phenomenon was visualised in space using statistical hot spot analysis. The case study involves two cities in eastern Lesser Poland and districts adjacent to them. The results have demonstrated that the investigated areas have a highly heterogenic land cover. Basic assessment fields have exhibited homogeneity only towards large, green, agricultural, environmentally valuable and, often, protected areas. The results concerning urban green spaces comprise a set of data that constitute a valuable source of information to aid the development of informed urban-planning solutions under the sustainable development paradigm.

“…At the same time, significant changes in land cover (e.g. destruction of vegetation) is occurred, depending on the size and scope of their activities [8,9]. It is extremely important to monitor this change process periodically in terms of natural resources management, and development of local/regional planning policies.…”

“…At the same time, these integration presents a useful tool in monitoring land cover changes and environmental impacts associated with mining activities (e.g. marble and granite quarries) [3,8,9,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]37].…”

This study was actualized in Karamanlı district of Burdur province in order to draw attention to the increase in the surface areas of marble quarries and to monitor the changes of land cover types during the period from 1995 to 2020. Geographic information system tools and supervised maximum likelihood classification approach provided a methodological basis for this study. Landsat satellite images used in this study were
