Introduction:
Global environment is a dynamic feature influenced by natural phenomena as well as human activities. Industrial development considerably accelerates the rate and speed of such changes. Agriculture lands are due to significant changes in different aspects. Land use changes are the result of several factors. Population increase requires more need for food thus more lands are needed to go under cultivation. Land use changes are influenced by several factors and some complicated processes are involved in this concern. Dividing agriculture lands into small sizes according to Islamic heritage law, urban and industrial development or any other improper land use changes are all factors which may affect the case. Updated cadastre maps are needed to show these changes particularly in rural area for efficient management of agriculture lands. Cadastre maps as well as its application have already been discussed, but temporal changes of different land use have not yet been considered. The present study focused on annual changes of cadastre maps from several points of view. Study area: Study area ( Khosheh Mehr Village ) occupies an area of about 455 hectares in Eastern Azerbaijan, around the city of Bonab and lies between northern latitude of 37 18 17 - 37 19 46 and eastern longitude of 46 8 11 -46 10 47 . The area is completely a flat land overlies Sofi River alluvial deposits. The main reason for such study in this area is considerable changes occurred in the area between year2002 and2003.
