The spatial planning document is planning guidance intended to regulate an area’s spatial use and development planning. This document contains the component that regulates the composition of green space. This composition is designed to maintain the stability of the existing ecosystem quality. Pekalongan is one of the Regency in Central Java Province with environmental problems related to lack of green space area. The existence of ecological degradation makes environmental quality in Pekalongan one that needs to be considered. This study aims to determine the effect of changes in the composition and intensity of green space on surface temperature from these problems. This study will use time-series data during the initial implementation of spatial planning documents (2013) to the current year (2021) to see how changes in the composition and intensity of green space in each sub-district in Pekalongan Regency.
