The growth of random housing in Iraq, the city of Kirkuk as a model using artificial intelligence for the period between 1997-2017

The research is concerned with studying the phenomenon of random housing growth in Iraq, taking the city of Kirkuk as a spatial model for application, and using the means and tools of artificial intelligence by adopting satellite visuals number 2 represented in the base year 1997 AD and the target year 2017 AD, the purpose of which was to classify the uses of the land during Old and recent for the purpose of comparison between them to find out changes in the categories of urban land use and measure the area of the citys expansion over the past 20 years with calculating the share of slum areas from this expansion, in addition to using a set of analytical algorithms through the approved program (Arc Map.v.10.7) And reaching a set of numerical results for the difference in the areas of the types of land used between the two periods, and a set of numerical statistics obtained from official authorities was also adopted that showed the size of the random housing settlements in Iraq.
