Abstract
Temperature changes are linked to climate change through the annual increase in the earth’s temperature by a few degrees Celsius over the past few million years. This study aims to identify the earth’s surface temperature in the Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah Campus, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI). Temperature data comes from fieldwork in the morning (10:30 AM), noon (2:30 PM), and evening (5:30 PM). The analysis tool used is a thermal anemometer. The result shows that the variety of surface temperatures for the morning is high (max=38.7°C, min=31.4°C) and low in the evening (max=31.6°C, min= 26.8°C). Areas on the campus experience high temperatures in the morning and decrease towards the evening. Tanjung Malim, close to the Titiwangsa Range, plays a role in moderating the temperature macro-wise.In conclusion, the micro-temperature also depends on the characteristics of a place, such as if the area is open without plants, for example, a football field. The temperature will also rise and varies from the other Malaysia University Campus depending on the location and physical characteristic. This micro-temperature study can lead to planning to reduce the surface temperature by creating areas of vegetation in a smaller environment and then being able to micro-control the temperature.
