Abstract
Population dynamics and economical, also industrial, in Indonesia are growth as it increasing every years. It brings an environmental problems unconsciously. Increasing the amount of aerosol optical depth (AOD) has a considerable impact, one of them is light pollution increase due to uncontrolled scattering of particles in urban areas. Light pollution is a new problem, it can disturb the balance of the ecosystem. Increasing light pollution on trophosperic surface on the earth can cause the functional damage of natural light in the sky in providing guidance for animal noctural animals and human health. The consequence are emergencing problems with ecosystem imbalances that can be a new disasters in the future. Identification of the impact of increasing AOD with light pollution needs to be known to maintain the balance of the ecosystem in the future. Remote sensing has an effective, efficient and able to provide actual data on this problem. MODIS imagery was used as AOD and VIIRS DNB data sources were used for multi-temporal light pollution data in 2014, 2016 and 2018. Both data were then performed correlation tests using Rank Spearment methods and obtained very strong results, 0.8-1. The higher AOD in urban areas, the higher the level of light pollution in the region. Java and Bali have high AOD levels accompanied by high light pollution.
