Abstract:
Urban planning needs to be regulated by laws and in the Sudan
there are adequate laws, but the problem lies in inspection of the
buildings constriction as stated in the law which based on direct field
work, that needs many financial and human resources, as the matter of
lack of these resources the problems of urban planning increase the
spread of urban planning problems, such as trespassing on public area
and roads. Digital techniques of Remote Sensing and GIS provide
speed, efficiency, high reliability and low cost had offered possibilities
to control urban growth in sustainable manner., In this study modern
systems had been proposed to achieve high efficiency and low cost to
execute the laws and regulation of urban planning, to detect
irregularities of buildings within and outside of the widget and the
residential areas using GIS and satellite imageries. Techniques of GIS
and remote sensing had been applied in this study to measure buildings
constructed out of plot(s) boundaries and empty open space, and
trespassing or irregularities
can be monitored and detected, but
techniques of GIS and remote sensing had been failed to determine the
percentage of built up area within the boundary of the plot together the
rebound between houses, need a higher resolution satellite imageries.
The study found the buildings out of plot boundaries can be measured,
and material by which building had been built out of border can be
determined,
and digital techniques has the capability to control
physical planning development to help the protection of lands and
supply of required services.
