Abstract

This study aims to assess environmental quality in the Al-Hasakah Province of Syria using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing techniques. This assessment is conducted in the context of a growing interest in the impact of environmental factors on health and quality of life. The research revolves around analyzing the environmental effects of various sources, such as waste, oil pollution, and population density, to comprehend the environmental status and guide efforts toward protection and sustainable development. The study relies on geospatial information techniques for spatial analysis and satellite imagery to understand changes in the environmental landscape. The results provide a comprehensive overview of the environmental quality in the region, paving the way for policy direction and actions to preserve environmental health and enhance the well-being of the population.

The comprehensive results revealed that approximately 79% of the study area exhibits a state of low to very low environmental quality, while the high and moderate states contributed 2% and 19%, respectively.
