Abstract

Within three legitimate boundaries. In only 11 years, Mina experienced significant urban changes of 5.06 km2, or 36.05% of the total urban area in 2015. These changes are spreaded between new urban extensions on the one hand and a change in the pattern of land-use in the old urban block on the other. The new extensions contributed 62.56%, while the share of changes in the land-use types of the old block did not exceed 37.44%. Despite the multiplicity of uses within new extensions, only 6: municipal services, parking lots, roads, vacant land and mountain areas together account for 96.68% of the total land with new extensions. Although replacements and alteration have been used, there are 5 uses that are not affected by this process, including religious uses for the sanctity of these places. However, religious uses have seen new extensions at the expense of other uses. Making the land-use map in Mina at the present time, 2015, distinct from a range of land-use patterns that are commensurate with the specific functionalities of Mina land. The legitimate boundaries on the one hand and the hard mountain blocks on the other are the most important obstacles to the development of land-use in Mina. However, the reconsideration of the legitimate borders proved to be incorrect, especially from the south between them and Muzdalifah. This leads to new horizons towards the development of Mina to the South. Geographic information systems, as well as urban studies, have had the greatest role in reaching these results
