Spatial Modelling of Agricultural Land Abandonment Probability in a Foothill Hromada Using Sentinel-2 Satellite Data

Objective. The aim of this study is to identify potentially abandoned agricultural lands within the Vyhoda territorial community of Ivano-Frankivsk region through multi-criteria analysis based on Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, vegetation indices, and topographic and infrastructural parameters. Methodology. An  adapted multi-criteria spatial modeling approach was proposed to detect potentially abandoned agricultural lands. The study employed multispectral Sentinel-2 satellite images acquired in August 2024.
