Abstract :
Summary form only given. This research aims to study evaluation of the current environmental condition of the territory as result of interactions of natural and economical (technogenous) systems. Environment protection from pollution needs to study and evaluate the geoenvironmental condition in these territories using modern and precise technology in order to determine types and causes of pollution as well as their control. To achieve these objectives ,we used a lot of satellite images with different scales and resolution vary between 5 to 45 m. taken in different years in order to identify the most polluted areas witch are difficult to be distinguished by the traditional methods. The results of the present study form the bases of a geoinformation system databank for environmental monitoring
