Ecosystem is based upon the sustainability and stability of human activities and the habitat. Sustainability is provided by the continuation of this stability, under the threat of future developments. Having an interactive man–made structure and environment cannot be considered as apart from modern urban life. With the rapid urban developments, most of the water resources and forest areas are influenced by human activities in the metropolitan areas. Together with the growing economic activities and population, there is an increasing pressure on these areas. To identify and prioritize the problem areas that are under risk, decision makers have to develop monitoring systems, using integrated RS and GIS technologies. In this paper, multidate satellite images are classified and changes in urban development are detected to describe these risks. These tools present a new plan strategies, which are the process of designing and implementing time-based programs for the preserving natural resources.
