Abstract
The study relied on GIS software represented by the (Arc Map) program ‎based on a corrected satellite imagery captured from the American satellite ‎‎(Quick Bird), with a discriminatory accuracy (0.60 cm) for the year 2010, ‎as it dealt with the analysis of spatial distribution modeling and mapping ‎of urban settlements. Objective, after preparing the geographical database ‎for those layers. The aim of the research is to analyze the spatial ‎distribution modeling of human (urban) settlements in Anbar ‎Governorate and to determine the form of their spatial extension, through ‎the use of modern statistical methods related to the study of these patterns ‎and their analysis through the available technical capabilities represented ‎by the standard distance and the neighborhood link. The research ‎concluded that urban stability in Anbar Governorate is linked to the ‎human relationship with his environment, where stability reflects the ‎control of geographical factors (natural and human) to a large extent in ‎the spatial distribution pattern of urban stability centers, in terms of their ‎spread, distribution and sizes, and that the spatial distribution of them has ‎taken multiple forms and according to the control Geographical ‎conditions in that distribution. The study recommended the need to ‎develop a comprehensive database for human settlements and to expand ‎the use of geographic information systems for the parties concerned with ‎the process of planning human settlements.
