دراسة أثر التوسع العمراني على الأراضي الزراعية في مدينة جرسيف باستخدام الاستشعار عن بعد ونظم المعلومات الجغرافية في المغرب.

This study aims to monitor the dynamics of urban growth in Guercif City, Morocco, and the accompanying contraction of agricultural land over a period of 68 years (from 1954 to 2022). Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been relied mainly on as tools to track the sequence of this urbanization expansion. This research was based on the analysis of data from a range of geographical resources, especially the topographic map for the period of the fifties and sixties, and then satellite images of the Landsat in the period of the seventies and beyond. The approach we have adopted in this study enabled us to adjust the dynamics of the studied phenomenon and to determine its temporal and spatial dimensions. One of the most important conclusions we have reached in this context is that since 1954 Guercif City and its surroundings have lost important areas of agricultural land, mostly in the form of olive groves, totaling 218 hectares in 2022, due to urbanization expansion, for which rural migration was the most important factor.
