Abstract
Remote sensing data integrated with GIS techniques were used together with socio-economic data in a post-classification analysis to map the spatial dynamics of land use/cover changes and identify the urbanization process in Al Ain resort city, United Arab Emirates. Land use/cover statistics, extracted from Landsat Multi-spectral Scanner (MSS). Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM +) images for 1972. 1990 and 2000 respectively, revealed that the built-up area has expanded by about 170.53km2. The city was found to have a tendency for major expansion in four different directions: North, North-east, southeast, and south-west. GIS overlay analysis of multi-temporal satellite data helped us tracking the different classes' trajectories by adopting a GIS coding system unique to each class.
