Current technology in Remote Sensing and GIS techniques is the most effective approach to studying and analyzing the geographical effect of light pollution, especially in urban areas. Thus, this study aims to determine The Spatial Variation of Urban Light Pollution Due to Vegetation and Built-Up Areas in The Northern Region of Peninsular Malaysia Between 2014 and 2021 using the satellite Remote Sensing and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) approach. The satellite remote sensing images of Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day Night Band (VIIRS DNB), was used to derive light pollution.
