Vegetation dynamic in river basins is significantly considered in environmental studies. However, the relationship between urbanization, vegetation change, and its driving factors are still lacking a connection in the previous study. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the impact of urban development on vegetation dynamics in the Tama River from 1990 to 2021 to enable future planning. In this study, vegetation dynamics were quantified with the Normal Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to provide information on the vegetation quality in the area. The regional climate and surface land uses were analyzed to determine the intensity of urban development. Regional Climate in spatial analysis can be computed with Land Surface Temperature (LST), whereas the surface conditions can be computed using Land Use Classification. The results showed that from 1990 to 2021, the NDVI trend continued to increase, whereas LST decreased. Furthermore, a positive and negative correlation was found between LST and NDVI in the Tama River Basin. This shows that changes in LST and NDVI are also influenced by other factors, such as seasonal change and socioeconomic factors. The overall vegetation trend shows an increasing trend in all seasons. This study's findings prove that the Tama River environmental management plan is a good example of a functional river rehabilitation plan. Thus, it is important to understand the spatial and temporal development of vegetation coverage and anticipate future patterns while comprehending climate shifts. This study will also provide recommendation recommendations for effective urban planning alongside rivers.
