SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
As of January 2020, the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan provides shelter to approximately 76,000 Syrian refugees as they escape political unrest in their homeland, making it the largest Syrian refugee camp in the world. Refugee camps are created to provide temporary shelter to refugees; however, these camps usually end up serving as long term shelters. This research is important to assess the impact that long term settlement of refugee camps has on local landscapes and environments. This study analyzes the land-use/cover change of the area near and surrounding the Zaatari refugee camp between 2002 and 2018 to better understand the landscape change since its formation in July 2012. Using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification and spatial analysis, this study examines land-use/cover change attributed to the location of the Zaatari refugee camp, finding a growth in agriculture, bare desert, urban, and water and a decrease in soil land-use/cover types. However, urban growth was the only land-use/cover change category with high spatial intensities of change related to the presence of the Zaatari refugee camp.
