Utilization of Google Earth Engine to Identify Vegetation Density on Saparua Island, Maluku Province Using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Method
Keywords:
Google Earth Engine, NDVI, Saparua IslandAbstract
This study discusses the use of Google Earth Engine to identify vegetation density on Saparua Island, Maluku Province, using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) method. Saparua Island is an area rich in biodiversity, and vegetation monitoring is key to nature conservation and resource management. By accessing Sentinel-2 MSI Level-2A data through Google Earth Engine, NDVI analysis was conducted to understand the distribution and changes in vegetation density on the island. The results of the vegetation density analysis showed that the lowest value was -0.56 and the highest value was 0.81. The results of vegetation density are then classified into three classes, namely areas that have low vegetation density of 797.84 ha or 5.01%, areas that have medium vegetation density of 5,368.62 ha or 33.72% and areas that have high vegetation density of 9,753.56 ha or 61.27%. The results of this analysis can support environmental conservation efforts and sustainable agricultural development on Saparua Island
