Abstract :

Recently progression of Remote Sensing caused that the changes were studied moreaccuracy and fast with less expenses. Method of change detection is a important wayto defined changes in costal in time ranges. Most of landforms in beach were collapsebecause of develop of petroleum in costal of Iran. Since petroleum installations wereexpanded in Asalooyeh costal, therefore this spot is one of the area where destroyed inIran. In this research coastal zone was taxonomy based on Geomorphology andIKONOS images in 2000. In the following changes of landforms were studied by IRSimages during 6 years. Unsupervised classification method, change detection, high &low position, statistics analyses and field research were use in order that the land formschanges were reconnoitered and the result were studied in Geography InformationSystem. In effect 85 % of geomorphologic landforms were collapsed because ofindustry installation. There are small gulf and marsh. The rest was destroyed. Some ofthe organizations in Iran make a preservation of natural environments
