Urban sprawl is a phenomenon with a negative effect which, over time, consumes the living environment. The aim of this research is to analyze and evaluate the urban sprawl of Annaba situated at the northeastern part of Algeria in a diachronic approach. The studied area contains twelve agglomerations. Through the supervised classification of a time series of data provided by multi spectral sensors mounted on LANDSAT 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI), LANDSAT 7 Thematic Mapper Plus satellite platforms (ETM+) and LANDSAT 4-5 Thematic Mapper (TM), the urban sprawl was examined in different periods of 1987, 2013 and 2017, on defferent scales. This study displayed that a retrospective understanding of the timing and magnitude of Annaba sprawl in a spatio-temporal dimension allows updating the phenomenon to better manage it in the future on either macro or micro scale as a decision support tool.
