Abstract
East Jakarta, which is included in the DKI Jakarta Province, continues to grow in population. As a result, the demand for settlement land increases. The presence of plants is critical for environmental equilibrium. The purpose of this study was to determine the vegetation density and its variations in East Jakarta year 2020. The method used the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) analysis and classification. In 2020, the highest NDVI value in East Jakarta was 0.1–0.2, covering 7,952.64 ha (43.07 %) of the entire area, while the lowest value was >0.6, covering 0.06 ha of the total area. The highest vegetation density class in East Jakarta was low dense class, accounting for 7,951.26 ha (43.06 percent) of the whole area, while the lowest density class was under high dense class accounted for 1,116.41 ha (6.04 percent) of the total area. In terms of green open space, there were a city park, a cemetery, a green lane on a road, and a river bank. The municipal park was classified as dense, while the rest were classified as medium dense. The presence of trees within the green space has aided in the area’s vegetation density. It also refers to the role of open green space in enhancing the community’s life and environment’s quality. The importance of educating and guiding the surrounding community about the benefits of vegetation or green open space, then replanting less vegetated land, as well as an integrated land use planning and implementation.The first section in your paper
