Description

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the temporal change in vegetation cover at the spatial level by using NDVI values for the years 2016, 2019, 2022 and 2025 of Ordu province. The study area constitutes a meaningful sample for NDVI-based analyses because it is a region that attracts attention with its topographic diversity and urbanization pressure. Sentinel-2 satellite images were processed in ArcMap 10.5 environment; NDVI rasters were produced, classified and difference analyses were performed. The findings reveal temporal trends in vegetation transformation and provide spatial-thematic indicators that can be used in land use decisions.
