Annotation Natural areas where settlements are located are a subject to constant anthropogenic impact, which has a negative impact on the environmental situation. In this regard, it becomes relevant to monitor the surface cover of such territories, using remote sensing data. The object of the study is the territory of the urban district “City of Chita”. The purpose is to conduct a spatiotemporal analysis of changes in the va­lues of the NDVI vegetation index from satellite images from 2016 to 2023, to identify natural and artificially created forms of surface cover, describe their quantitative and qualitative composition within the boundaries of the urban district, as well as establish the nature of the dynamics of changes in the obtained values. The research objectives are as follows: preparation and collection of materials for remote sensing of the Earth; description of the territory and structural forms of the surface cover of Chita based on the NDVI index. The following research methodology and me­thods are used: methods of visual and automated decryption of multispectral images; geoinformation methods for analyzing raster and vector data. Archival multispectral Sentinel-2 images for the specified period have been used in the research process. A classification of surface cover forms of the studied territory has been carried out, and an assessment of changes in their areas over an 8-year period has been made for the administrative districts of the city (Tsentralny, Ingodinsky, Chernovsky and Zheleznodorozhny). Monitoring the surface cover of urbanized areas, using vegetation indices obtained from remote sensing data (e. g. Sentinel-2) allows to obtain up-to-date information on the quantitative and qualitative state of vegetation. The above mentioned has helped to make reasoned decisions in the field of territorial planning and urban development, including planning of protected areas, recreation parks, and public gardens in Chita.
