Natural resources and cultural values are important factors in a region that increase tourism activities. Mis landuse from the past to the present has been a problem on the agenda for Turkey as well as many developed anddeveloping countries.

In this respect, it is important to use natural resources in various ways and in asustainable way in accordance with the demands of the society by taking into consideration the balance betweenpreservation and use. For this purpose, using two disciplines, remote sensing and GIS, to obtain and handle thedata that will be very helpful in the process of problem solving and decision making are important in terms ofmonitoring and controlling the data obtained. In this study, changes in the vegetation at the Amasra district,Bartin was analyzed using four multitemporal Landsat MSS, TM, ETM scenes and one SPOT XS scene. In theanalyses, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was employed. Based on the results obtained, theeffectiveness of the use of multitemporal satellite imagery was confirmed.
