Drought cases in Kapanewon Pajangan Bantul Regency often occur. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of soil moisture, land surface temperature conditions, and make a map of the distribution of drought status with a spatial approach to the Normalize Difference Moisture Index (NDMI), Land Surface Temperature (LST), and Normalize Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) methods based on Landsat 8 imagery. The results showed that the soil moisture index was divided into 3 classes, namely humid with an area of 206,80 ha (6,27%), dry with an area of 2985,99 ha (90,53%), and very dry with an area of 105,649 ha (3,20%). The land surface temperature level is divided into 4 classes, namely very low (< 22,77 oC) with an area of 144,46 ha (4,38%), low (22,77 oC – 23,17 oC) with an area of 231,06 ha (7,31%), medium (23,17oC – 24,77oC) with an area of 2453,80 ha (74,37%), and high (> 24,77 oC) with an area of 460,15 ha (13,95%). The drought status in Kapanewon Pajangan is divided into 3 drought classes, namely low class with an area of 477,31 ha (14,55%), medium class with an area of 2589,98 ha (78,98%), and high class with an area of 212,15 ha (6,47%). The results of the Pearson correlation test of soil moisture index to water content at pF 2,54 and pF 4,2 included a strong positive correlation (r = 0,720 and r = 0,780). Pearson correlation test results of greenness level to water content at pF 2,54 had a moderately strong positive correlation (r = 0,598) and at pF 4,2 had a strong positive correlation (r = 0,783). Pearson correlation test results of LST soil surface temperature to moisture content at pF 2,54 had a strong negative correlation (r = -0,724) and at pF 4,2 had a very strong negative correlation (r = -0,838), while the correlation results with field soil surface temperature at pF 2,54 and pF 4,2 had a strong negative correlation (r = -0,631 and r = -0,787).
