This study focuses in building a script that will analyze the condition of natural vegetation in boracay using satellite images through artificial neural network. The designed program is created to help user assess and preserve the area without consuming so much time. The levels of condition were determined as vegetation, Infrastructure, and Water. The researcher constructed the artificial neural network by the help of MATLAB application. With the use of the images gathered from satellite images, the researchers were able to produce result of vegetation, Infrastructure, and water in percentage form.
