Rabid urbanization has become an important land use issue in Libya. This study, applies geographic information systems and remote sensing to measure urban change, focusing on the coastal district of Khoms. The results show that urban development increased by more than 658 percent for the 40-year period between 1976 and 2016. Agriculture is one of the sectors hardest hit by this exponential growth in urbanization, leading to the loss of productive fruit and vegetable farmland. In addition to the loss of major food sources, the environmental impacts of urbanization in this coastal district have been substantial. The study demonstrates how crucial geospatial technologies can be in assessing and monitoring regional environmental change.
