Introduction: Spatial zoning of an urban area by the level of anthropogenic burden using land-based research methods is very time-consuming. Since the end of the 20th century, the usage of the Earth remote sensing (ERS) techniques has served as their more efficient alternative. The study objectives included geoinformation zoning and evaluation of the level of technogenic changes in the areas according to NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) values. Materials and methods: The cities of the Voronezh Region and their suburban ten-kilometer territories were chosen as the study objects. For the spatial analysis of the area of anthropogenically modified territories based on the example of the cities of the Voronezh Region we created an archive of multichannel satellite images taken by the Landsat-7 and Landsat-8 satellites. The data were borrowed from the Website of the US Geological Survey. Space images were grouped by two periods (the years of 2001 and 2016). Depending on NDVI values, territories with high and low anthropogenic burden, natural framework zones, and water bodies were distinguished. Results: We established that the smallest percentage of areas of the natural framework and their poor location was observed in the city of Voronezh. The largest area occupied by the natural framework was identified within the town of Borisoglebsk. This fact is attributed to the sensible policy of ensuring environmental and hygienic safety of the population implemented by the regional and municipal authorities. Discussion: At present, it is still impossible to fully use space monitoring data to assess health risks of technogenic factors; they can only be used simultaneously with ground monitoring that includes instrumental and laboratory monitoring of environmental quality indicators within the framework of the socio-hygienic monitoring. Conclusions: The analysis of changes in the proportion of areas with a high anthropogenic burden relative to the natural framework performed using satellite images taken in 2001 and 2016 showed an increase in the technogenic burden on the urban environment.

Change of green area in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) has been something very important. Classification of green area aims to do classification in Jabodetabek using Landsat 8 satellite images, band 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Before classification was done, the satellite images will be corrected using Radiometric Correction method called Mini-max algorithm. After doing radiometric correction, the classification will use the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and SAVI (Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) method. The selected area will be classified as green when NDVI values similar or has more than 0.3. After perform two categories, Y1 and Y2 are selected by NDVI values using dummy dependent variable. Linear regression method use that dummy dependent variable to classify the selected area in Jabodetabek. To see how can we trust the result, the classified area will be compared with the appearance of selected area in Google Earth. The highest degradation of green area is in Bogor, May 2015, 325.7368 Km2.

The objective of this study is to address the capabilities of multi-temporal optical images to estimate the fine-scale yield variability of wheat over a study site located in southwestern France. The methodology is based on the use of Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 satellite images acquired after the sowing and before the harvest of the crop throughout four successive agricultural seasons, the reflectance constituting the input variables of a statistical algorithm (random forest). The best performances are obtained when the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) is combined with the previous yield maps, the agricultural season 2014 showing the lower level of performances with a R² of 0.44 and a RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) of 8.13 q.h−1 (corresponding to a relative error of 12.9%), the three other years being associated with values of R² close or upper of 0.60 and RMSE lower than 7 q.h−1 (corresponding to a relative error inferior to 11.3%).

O avanço da tecnologia por meio do uso de imagens de satélites vem impulsionando os vários tipos de monitoramento da superfície terrestre. Embasado nesse avanço, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a cobertura vegetal na bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão das Cabras, localizada no município de Campinas/SP, utilizando técnicas de sensoriamento remoto para a determinação do Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada - IVDN. O trabalho utilizou imagens dos satélites Landsat 5 TM e Landsat 8 OLI no período da estação chuvosa da região nos anos de 1986, 1992, 1999, 2004, 2011 e 2018. Para cada imagem foi calculado os valores de IVDN e agrupados em seis classes. O resultado das imagens mostrou que as áreas com cobertura vegetal mais intensa sofreram pequenas alterações no período. O destaque principal foi observado na classe que caracterizam os corpos hídricos, demonstrando um aumento da capacidade de reserva por meio de construção de açudes na região. Essas estruturas foram implantadas, em grande parte, a partir de projetos e construções inadequadas. Esses elementos potencializam os eventos de inundações na região por rompimento destas estruturas de barragens. Sendo assim, considerou a classificação das imagens utilizando o IVDN uma ferramenta que propicia um entendimento e análise da dinâmica da cobertura vegetal em diferentes tipos de escala e sazonalidades, determinando condições de aumento do potencial de risco de desastres ao meio.

Based on this advance, this article aims to analyze the vegetal cover in Ribeirão das Cabras hydrographic basin, localized at Campinas/SP, using remote sensing techniques for Normalized difference vegetation index – NDVI. The work used images from Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 8 OLI satellites in the period of rainy season in the region from years 1986, 1992, 1999, 2004, 2011 and 2018. For each image were calculated the NDVI values and grouped in six classes. The result of the images showed that the intense vegetal cover areas suffered small alterations in the study period. The main highlight was observed in the class that characterize water bodies, demonstrating an increase in the reserve capacity through the construction of dams in the region. These structures were implanted, in large part, from inadequate projects and constructions. These elements potentiate flood events in the region by breaking the dams. Thus, it was considered the classification of the images using the NDVI, a tool that promotes an understanding and analysis of the dynamics of vegetation cover in different types of scale and seasonality, determining conditions for increasing the potential of disaster risks to the environment.

Remote sensing techniques based on medium resolution satellite imagery are being widely applied for mapping plastic covered greenhouses (PCG). This article aims at testing the spectral consistency of surface reflectance values of Sentinel-2 MSI (S2 L2A) and Landsat 8 OLI (L8 L2 and the pansharpened and atmospherically corrected product from L1T product; L8 PANSH) data in PCG areas located in Spain, Morocco, Italy and Turkey. The six corresponding bands of S2 and L8, together with the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), were generated through an OBIA approach for each PCG study site. The coefficient of determination (r2) and the root mean square error (RMSE) were computed in sixteen cloud-free simultaneously acquired image pairs from the four study sites to evaluate the coherence between the two sensors. It was found that the S2 and L8 correlation (r2 > 0.840, RMSE < 9.917%) was quite good in most bands and NDVI. However, the correlation of the two sensors fluctuated between study sites, showing occasional sun glint effects on PCG roofs related to the sensor orbit and sun position. Moreover, higher surface reflectance discrepancies between L8 L2 and L8 PANSH data, mainly in the visible bands, were always observed in areas with high-level aerosol values derived from the aerosol quality band included in the L8 L2 product (SR aerosol). In this way, the consistency between L8 PANSH and S2 L2A was improved mainly in high-level aerosol areas according to the SR aerosol band.

Abstract. Wadi Yalamlam is known as one of the significant wadis in the west of Saudi Arabia. It is a very important water source for the western region of the country. Thus, it supplies the holy places in Mecca and the surrounding areas with drinking water. The floristic composition of Wadi Yalamlam has not been comprehensively studied. For that reason, this work aimed to assess the wadi vegetation cover, life-form presence, chorotype, diversity, and community structure using temporal remote sensing data. Temporal datasets spanning 4 years were acquired from the Landsat 8 sensor in 2013 as an early acquisition and in 2017 as a late acquisition to estimate normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) changes. The wadi was divided into seven stands. Stands 7, 1, and 3 were the richest with the highest Shannon index values of 2.98, 2.69, and 2.64, respectively. On the other hand, stand 6 has the least plant biodiversity with a Shannon index of 1.8. The study also revealed the presence of 48 different plant species belonging to 24 families. Fabaceae (17 %) and Poaceae (13 %) were the main families that form most of the vegetation in the study area, while many families were represented by only 2 % of the vegetation of the wadi. NDVI analysis showed that the wadi suffers from various types of degradation of the vegetation cover along with the wadi main stream.
