Firstly, Landsat 8 satellite images were radiometrically corrected with the Quantum GIS software. Then, NDVI was produced using the Red-Green-Blue and Near-Infrared bands of the processed data obtained. Finally, the NDVI image with a value between -1 and +1 was reclassified to define urban open green spaces. The classification data showed that open green areas have a nonhomogeneous distribution throughout the city, and the amount of green space per capita is approximately 200 m². According to the classification results of Northern Nicosia, a surface area of 475 km², the amount of green space is calculated as 16m², constituting 2.97%. Thus, it has been concluded that open green regions are denser in certain parts of the city than others and do not have a homogeneous distribution that can serve the whole town. </div>}, number={2}, publisher={Süleyman Demirel University}
