摘要：This paper presents the application of landsat imagery for mapping and assessing the forests damage. To fulfil the goals of this stud y landsat thematic mapper (TM) hard copy images were used. Moreover the paper presents the advantages of the false color images, to differentiate between the vigorous vegetation and the dead forests. In addition to that the stud y has carried out a comparison operation for the land cover change in the stud y area in three periods, namely (1958,1972, and 1985). For this task extra data were used; those are multispectral scanner hard copy images acquired in 1972, and land cover maps produced from aerial photographs acquired in 1958. This assessment and co mparison was done with the aid and use of the GIS applications (Arc/ Info, software). The comparison of the land cover over the three periods (1958, 1972, and 1985) showed a clear change (increase)in the forest damage
