Abstract

Unprecedented urbanization has occurred globally in the last few decades. Urbanization is usually associated with land use change and urban expansion. Urban expansion, as an important social phenomenon, has a clear effect on the landscape pattern. Therefore, urbanization is always associated with the spatial expansion of urban land, which leads to changes in the landscape pattern. Previous studies have analyzed urbanization patterns in areas with rapid urban expansion, while urban areas with low to medium expansion, especially in developing countries such as Iran, have been less studied. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to identify the patterns of urban expansion in the middle cities; It is in the city of Urmia. The current research is a descriptive-analytical research and applied research. In the present study, the first set of data will be satellite images, so the satellite images of 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020 of Urmia city were received from Landsat satellite and processed using related software. Therefore, it is a library data collection method. The results of the present research show that when we take a look at the urban expansion in Urmia, two periods can be identified. In the first period of 1990-2000, the rapid development in the periphery of the city has led to an increase in the size of the core city area, which is indicated by a decrease in the AI index. In addition, new expansion is observed in areas separated from other areas by vacant land. This shows the sprawling expansion of the city. In the period of 2000-2010, the intensity of urban expansion has decreased. During this period, the city experienced a cumulative decrease in GYRATION_MN, and the accumulation of spots has been greatly reduced. This may indicate that the continued growth in Urmia has focused on the development of urban patches and this development has been accompanied by a significant increase in ENN_MN and a cumulative decrease in Gyration. Finally, the investigation of urban expansion patterns in Urmia city led to the identification of four cumulative, jump, linear and nodal patterns.
