Abstract

Economic activities in developing countries play a crucial role in national development. Jakarta, as one of the growing hubs in Indonesia, is influencing the urban planning of neighboring cities. Depok and South Tangerang City are among the cities that are most impacted by Jakarta’s growth. One of the impacts is that those cities are experiencing accelerated urbanization. This condition has caused a rise in the surface temperature of metropolitan areas, known as the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This study used multi-temporal Landsat 8 OLI data to determine the land cover and Land Surface Temperature (LST) in the two cities. The relation between those variables was then evaluated using simple regression. The results show that common conditions occurred in those two cities.
