Abstract
This paper examines the decrease in vegetation cover in Al-Amiriya from 2007 to 2020. Using two Landsat satellite multispectral images and Principal Components Analysis (PCA) with a classification technique, the overall vegetation cover in the city was determined. Results show a decrease in overall green land when comparing the two images. The ArcMap-GIS program was used to conduct the study, and the results showed that the overall vegetation cover ratio had decreased from 32.53% in 2007 to 31.29% in 2020. This means that there has been a decrease in vegetation cover over the past 13 years. It is important to note that this could be a sign of environmental degradation and increased human development in the area, and should be taken into consideration when developing strategies to protect the environment.
