The city of Izeh is one of the cities that has seen a large number of population growth in recent years. Given the importance of the subject, this study evaluates the process of land use change and physical development of residential areas of the urban area and urban margins of Izeh.

ENVI's most important research software (for the satellite images and land use maps), IDRISI (for the implementation of the LCM model) and ArcGIS (for final map preparation). In this study, the land use maps were first prepared and then the physical development process of the living areas of the area was evaluated, and this process was predicted for 2035. Based on the results, the area of settlement areas has increased significantly, with this use in 1993, 4.3 km2, which is in the years 2002, 2013 and 2020 to 2020.
