Mapping of NDVI and SAVI By Using Remote Sensing Technique in Kavakdere Plain, Western Turkey.

World is changing at an unexpected rate in terms of climate and land use, and also these changes affect our natural resources. normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and soil adjusted vejetation index (SAVI) are often used worldwide to monitor drought, monitor and predict agricultural production.

The study area is located west of Turkey where has a dam and organic plain. Major climate type of the study area is Mediterranean. Main crops of the study area are citrus and grapes. In this study, satellite-based remote sensing data and geographic information system tools will be used for mapping of NDVI and SAVI for growth season. Vegetation indices calculated from Landsat 8 satellite images will be showed for each growth stages for the study area.
