This study aimed to develop drought indices using MODIS(MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) images in North Korea. First, a couple of vegetation indices were generated which explain the relative severity of drought: VCI(Vegetation Condition Index) and SVI(Standardized Vegetation Index). Then, a comparative study was tried on the correlation between both indices with different drought indication including the history of drought damages. In the end, this study is expected to build up the systematic strategy for monitoring drought condition throughout North Korea.
