Abstract

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon can occur naturally in urban areas due to increasing population density and built-up spaces, leading to higher temperatures compared to surrounding non-urban areas. This study investigates the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon in Coblong, Bandung, by analyzing land surface temperature (LST), vegetation density, and land cover data from 2017, 2019, and 2021 through remote sensing analysis using Landsat imagery data. The results reveal significant surface temperature disparities of 7 to 8 degrees Celsius between densely populated areas in the south and greener areas in the north of Coblong. The findings confirm the presence of the UHI effect and underscore the complexity of factors influencing it, including the distribution and density of vegetation. To mitigate this phenomenon, we propose a multifaceted approach that includes enhancing and strategically distributing green vegetation and employing innovative, more permeable construction materials for urban infrastructure. This strategy aims to reduce the UHI impact and improve thermal comfort and livability in Coblong,and might be applied to other areas with similar characteristics facing similar challenges.
