“…Based on Al Rawashdeh and Saleh's (2006) analysis of the available data the period of study has been divided into four phases: the introduction phase from 1918 to 1953; the growth phase from 1953 to 1983; the rapid growth phase between 1983 and 1996, and the maturity phase from 1996 to the present. This paper also presents urban challenges and reports on changes to policy instruments during each phase.…”

“…• The expansion of the urban area in Greater Amman using GIS and remote sensing [1] • The estimation of runoff in Walla and Habiss basin using GIS and Remote Sensing techniques [2] These projects were conducted using satellite images with different resolutions processed spectrally and spatially from distortion. The areas of these zones were computed from extracted spatial information at resolution 15 m (band 8 Landsat.…”

Problem statement: Great attention had been paid on spatial data quality by the scientific community. This was due to the negative impact that a poor spatial data quality had on the competitiveness of an organization. On other hand, we can never obtain good quality data from a poor quality data. In this study, we demonstrate the effects of the different processing and preprocessing on the quality of spatial data. As we know each type of processing introduces errors and deformations at the original spatial data. Approach: Field applications and real samples were presented to prove the effect of data processing on data quality. We used spectrally and spatially processed satellite images which present the following areas: (i) Greater Amman area, (ii) Walla and Habisse basins. Different types of processing using different scales and resolutions were applied to field applications to evaluate the effect of scale, resolution and electronic transfer from vector to raster. Results: The vector layers extracted from these spatial data at different scales and resolutions were compared to each other. The comparison showed a great deformation in shape and value. This research demonstrates the influence of the scale, the resolution and transformation from vector to raster of spatial data base on the accuracy. Conclusion: We concluded that scale, resolution and electronic transfer have great effects on data quality. This effect should be considered in building any data base and all data base must have history file for evaluating its accuracy quality.

“…More and more common in spatial monitoring is the usage of satellite imagery which has become the basis for spatial planning (Yang, 2002, Al Rawashdeh, Saleh, 2006Sönmez, Onur, Sari, Maktav, 2007;Schneider, 2012;Horvat, 2013). An important element in land-use monitoring is the analysis connected with green and agricultural areas.…”

The article presents the issues of spatial planning on the case study of Łódź. Of significance in Łódź are its outer peripheries, which due to their natural value have become areas that must be protected and monitored in order to limit the anthropogenic impact. Protection of these areas may be carried out through the usage of instruments such as local land-use plans which help to limit the green field development phenomenon and to look after the biologically active surfaces within the borders of the city. The second step which may concern the areas with local land-use plans, as well as those without current local land-use plans, is monitoring. Such monitoring may be carried out through the analyses of satellite imagery of the city area. Such activities are a kind of low-budget enterprises which bring many benefits at a very small cost resulting from the purchase of satellite imagery. From the perspective of the authorities, a crucial fact is that the material collected during the analyses of the satellite imagery may be used in the initial phase of the planning process as an element of the inventory of areas designated for the development of land-use plans.
