Abstract

Throughout the ages, and during his continuous pursuit of growth and with the rapid increase in human mass, man has become one of the largest exploiters of the natural environment resources, until these resources have become diminished and depleted.
The establishment of the June 30 corridor brought about a noticeable environmental change in the components of the natural environment, along the path and both sides of the corridor, represented by backfilling of swamps, Land Surface Temperature (LST), Soil Moisture (SM), and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Which led to a change in the characteristics of the soil and Vegetations.
This study aims to study the spatial analysis of the environmental compound in the central sector of the June 30 corridor, then classify the geoenvironmental units of the study area, which consists of three main geoenvironmental units: the wetlands unit, the semi-humid lands unit, the drylands unit, in addition to the area that extends It has the June 30 corridor. The change in geoenvironmental units that occurred in the study area during the period from 2004 to 2022 was also monitored and tracked, based on several scientific methodologies and research methods, the use of Remote Sensing techniques and Geographic Information Systems applications, as well as field verification.
