Abstract
The process of soil classification in Iraq for industrial purposes is important topics that need to be extensive and specialized studies. In order for the advancement of reality service and industrial in our dear country, that a lot of scientific research touched upon the soil classification in the agricultural, commercial and other fields. No source and research can be found that touched upon the classification of land for industrial purposes directly. In this research specialized programs have been used such as geographic information system software The geographical information system permits the study of local distribution of phenomena, activities and the aims that can be determined in the local surrounding like points, lines and areas, where the geographical information system treats the data related to these points, lines and areas to make the data ready to be returned for analysis or asking about certain information by using it. The research aims to employ the potential given by GIS use in the field for building geo data based for soil classification in Iraq and transferring the traditional paper maps into digital maps. Then making the layers that the maps made of and preparing the geo data base that are appropriate .After that analysis of these data is done which permits for less effort and cost and finally increasing in the production speed and accuracy.
