Abstract

This study aims to discuss the use of water resources conservation and compensation fees in 2008, 2009, and 2010. The study also discusses the feasibility of using the conservation indicator the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as a distribution factor for the compensation fee. Results from this study demonstrate that whilst NDVI is able to show changes in forested areas, the analysis is limited by large technical requirements and results are dependent on the quality of the satellite imagery. Therefore, the acceptability of the proposal to use the NDVI as a distribution factor for compensation fees by the township offices that make compensation fee applications is uncertain. This method requires more in-depth research to determine its feasibility.
