Vegetation cover is a crucial component for ecosystem stability in island regions such as Simeulue Regency. This study aims to map vegetation density using NDVI analysis from SPOT 7 2022 satellite imagery in Simeulue Regency. Data processing was performed using ArcGIS 10.8 software, with the study area covering the districts of West Simeulue, Central Simeulue, and Teluk Dalam. NDVI classification refers to five categories based on Ministry of Forestry regulations. The analysis revealed that the High Vegetation class dominates the area, reaching 29,162.21 ha (69.67%), reflecting the still dense vegetation conditions. Non-Vegetation Areas are the second largest, covering 11,445.68 ha (27.34%), dominated by water bodies. Other vegetation classes have very small percentages, marking transition areas. Although green cover remains dominant, the presence of extensive non-vegetation land requires an integrated environmental management strategy to support sustainable development.
