The study aims to determine the economic and social impacts of land use change on the coastal plain in Latakia Governorate with the help of remote sensing technology. The research was carried out in some villages belonging to the administrative regions taken using a random sampling method, numbering 40 villages, and the number of farmers reached 367 farmers. Total production costs amounted to 121166.67 ,980125.71, 372923.08, and 131509.65SYP/ dunum for olives, citrus fruits, irrigated vegetables, and tobacco, respectively, and greenhouses 561355 SYP/house. The research objectives were achieved based on the application of the stepwise multiple linear regression model to determine the effect of a group of independent factors (socio- economic characteristics) on the dependent variables (the difference in the area cultivated with citrus fruits, olives, , vegetables, greenhouses, and tobacco separately between the years 2010-2022, the profit of citrus fruits, olives, vegetables, greenhouses, and tobacco separately between the years 2010-2022), and applying the prediction equation to predict the cultivated areas The results of the analysis showed that the most important factors with a significant impact on (the difference in the area of citrus fruits) are (urban expansion –high production costs),in (citrus fruits profit) are (citrus fruits costs),and one of the most important factors with a moral impact on (the difference in olives area) is(the number of agricultural work hours), and in (olive profit ) it is (the total area –the costs of olives),Also, one of the most important factors with a moral impact on (the difference in vegetable area) is ( education level- experience in agriculture), in (vegetable profit) they are ( vegetable costs- availability of soft loans) .it turned out that one of the most important factors with a significant impact on (the difference in the area of greenhouses) is (use of new technologies-experience in agriculture), in (greenhouses profits) they are (greenhouses costs- higher net profit). Among the most important factors with a moral impact on (the difference in tobacco area) is (family members working in agriculture- experience in agriculture), in (tobacco profits) they are (higher productivity-lower water levels). The results also showed that future forecasts for the total cultivated area in the coastal plain in Latakia Governorate during the period (2022-2023) are expected to reach 30699.33 hectares. The maps produced showed a clear change in land cover and land use during the period 2010-2022.It showed that there are four main types of land cover and agricultural land uses in the coastal plain: irrigated trees, mainly represented by citrus fruits, rain –fed trees represented by olive trees, and irrigated crops (crops - vegetables - tobacco – irrigated introduced crops such as grape leaves and some tropical crops such as Kiwi and greenhouses).
