Also, using Madis sensor, we classified the agricultural lands of the city into two categories of irrigated and garden cultivation in these two years. In both years, there has been irrigated cultivation. Using spatial-spatial analysis, we have obtained the results that as the density of villages decreases, so does the area of ​​arable land.
