Predictive Vegetation Health
Our model accurately forecasts future NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) trends, providing crucial insights into biomass density and vegetation health. This enables proactive monitoring of ecological degradation, particularly in rapidly urbanizing coastal regions like Fethiye. The integration of LST (Land Surface Temperature) and NDBI (Normalized Difference Built-up Index) allows for a holistic understanding of urban heat island effects and land cover changes impacting green spaces.
Strategic Urban Development
By quantitatively linking urbanization indicators with ecological degradation, our AI-driven insights support the development of sustainable urban plans. The study's validation against CORINE land cover data demonstrates the model's robustness, allowing urban planners to identify vulnerable areas and implement targeted strategies for green infrastructure and ecological buffers, mitigating the adverse impacts of rapid development.
Informed Environmental Governance
The long-term projections of vegetation dynamics offer a data-driven foundation for environmental policymakers. Our findings highlight the necessity of proactive policies to manage population growth and urban expansion, ensuring ecological balance in tourism-led regions. This includes prioritizing afforestation efforts and integrating social indicators to address broader socioeconomic transformations linked to environmental change.

Case Study: Fethiye, Turkey - Urbanization & Ecological Impact
Fethiye, a popular tourist destination in Muğla, Turkey, serves as a critical case study for understanding the environmental impacts of rapid urbanization. Experiencing significant post-pandemic population growth and tourism-led development, the region faces intense pressure on its natural vegetation.
Our analysis, validated with CORINE LULC data, reveals a 16.1% increase in artificial surfaces between 2006 and 2018, correlating directly with the predicted 14% decline in NDVI by 2032. This expansion of impervious areas leads to reduced agricultural land and wetlands, intensifying heat island effects and threatening local biodiversity. The strong negative correlation (r = -0.93) between artificial-surface expansion and NDVI underscores the urgency for integrated urban planning.
The DWT-LSTM model's accurate projections (95% accuracy) provide vital data for policymakers to implement proactive measures, such as prioritizing green infrastructure and afforestation efforts, to mitigate ecological degradation and promote sustainable development in this environmentally sensitive coastal zone.

Your Enterprise AI Implementation Roadmap
A structured approach to integrating advanced AI for environmental monitoring, ensuring seamless adoption and maximum impact.
Phase 01: Data Acquisition & Preprocessing
Collect historical satellite imagery (MODIS, Landsat 8) and CORINE LULC data (2013-2023). Apply noise reduction, error correction, and min-max normalization to prepare datasets for model training.
Phase 02: Initial Model Development (LSTM)
Train a baseline LSTM network using NDVI, NDBI, and LST time-series data. Optimize hyperparameters and neuron count (9 neurons identified as optimal) to establish a foundational predictive model for vegetation dynamics.
Phase 03: Hybrid Model Integration (DWT-LSTM)
Decompose input data (NDBI, LST) using Discrete Wavelet Transform (Daubechies-4 wavelet). Select relevant subcomponents based on correlation with NDVI, and integrate these with LSTM to build the enhanced DWT-LSTM model (6 hidden neurons optimal).
Phase 04: Performance Evaluation & Validation
Rigorously compare LSTM and DWT-LSTM models using metrics like R, R², MAPE, RMSE, and MSE. Validate the DWT-LSTM's predictions against CORINE LULC data to confirm its accuracy, robustness, and ecological coherence.
Phase 05: Future Projections & Strategic Recommendations
Generate long-term NDVI forecasts up to 2032 using the validated DWT-LSTM model. Develop data-driven recommendations for sustainable urban planning, green infrastructure, and ecological buffers based on the projected impacts of urbanization.
