Remote Sensing-Based Urban Sprawl Modeling Using Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network Markov Chain in Baghdad, Iraq

Abstract: The global and regional land use/cover changes (LUCCs) are experiencing widespread changes, particularly in Baghdad City, the oldest city of Iraq, where it lacks ecological restoration and environmental management actions at present. To date, multiple land uses are experiencing urban construction-related land expansion, population increase, and socioeconomic development. Comprehensive evaluation and understanding of the effect of urban sprawl and its rapid LUCC are of great importance to managing land surface … Show more

“…Baghdad's population increased at an alarming rate over the last 70 years (between 1950 and 2020), starting with 579,167 people in 1950 and consistently increasing to 3,606,844 people in 1985, with its population exponential growth reaching 7,144,260 by 2020 [40]. There are concerns that future urban development may be threatened by natural disasters; however, the US Geological Survey Earthquake datasheet from 1985 to 2020 (https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/search/ [accessed on 8 March 2021]) showed no reported earthquakes and fault lines in the study area, while the adjacent cities and eastern Iraq were at risk of earthquakes [32].…”

“…In this study, the image classification and interpretation used the combined classification method based on ERDAS IMAGINE 2015 and ArcGIS 10.8. The combined method, which included supervised and unsupervised classification methods, is widely used for LUCC classification [15,32]. The maximum likelihood algorithm is the most frequently employed approach for remote sensing image interpretation using supervised classification, and it calculates the subsequent probabilities of fitting pixels to their corresponding classes according to the Bayes Theorem [46].…”
