| Abstract | ||
| Objectives: Shedding light on the modeling analysis of the characteristics of human settlements in Anbar Governorate and the nature of their spatial distribution, in order to reveal the factors that led to this distribution. Finding the best ways to set broad outlines to develop programs and projects that advance the reality of rural human settlement in the governorate. Method: The researcher followed the descriptive approach, which relies on studying the phenomenon as it exists in reality by paying attention to it as an accurate description. In addition, the systems approach (the inductive and analytical approach) was followed through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, starting with collecting data and preparing models. It was processed and analyzed using the Arc Map program through the Spatial Analysis package. Results: The study showed the variation in the average coefficient of separation of rural settlements between administrative units in Anbar Governorate. It was lowest in Anah District by (2), and the highest dispersion coefficient was (55.7) in Karma District. This is due to the small number of rural settlements in Anah District, and their increased number in Karma District. Conclusion: The measures of separation and spread used to measure the spread and dispersal of rural settlements are consistent with the natural characteristics, which are represented by the desert climate, the extension of the Euphrates River, and the availability of fertile soil in the alluvial plain region compared to the Upper Euphrates and Western Plateau regions. In addition to the human characteristics represented by transportation methods and economic activities represented by agricultural production in Anbar Governorate. Recommendations: The study recommended several things, including taking advantage of the various applications and software provided by the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) environment in studying the best spatial signature for different uses. As well as in drawing the road network for future expansions and in the process of selecting the most appropriate proposed sites for extensions of human settlements. This was due to the ease of its application and the accuracy of its results. It is possible to benefit from the proposed approach in the application process to reach the desired goals in developing the governorate | ||
