Vegetation is a crucial element of livable and healthy cities and has been linked to a number of advantages, such as enhanced human health, habitat provision, and natural system regulation. Planning sustainable cities requires an understanding of and documentation of changes in urban vegetation. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)'s spatial variance and driving force are useful for managing natural resources and protecting ecological environments. Using Sumedang Regency as the research area, the normalized vegetation index (NDVI) was computed using Landsat-7 ETM and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS data from 2003 to 2023. The findings show that the high greenness index first declined and subsequently increased between 2003 and 2023. Sumedang Regency's high greenness index shrank in area between 2003 and 2018. In 2003, 144793.17 ha was categorised as high greenness index, but in 2018 the high greenness index was only 122392.08 ha. Furthermore, the index with non-vegetated land increases every year. This shows that Sumedang Regency continues to experience land use change into non-vegetated areas, such as settlements and bare land. This research can provide assistance for the development of a sustainable natural environment in Sumedang Regency.
