Method of Land Cover Change and Number of Vehicles Increasing on Land Surface Temperature: Case Research of Surabaya City, East Java Province, Indonesia

Abstract

Urban Heat island phenomenon that occurs in some major cities to Indonesia can be caused by several factors like a construction of high building, land cover change and air pollution by motor vehicles. The phenomenon of small climate change in urban areas such as the city of Surabaya, the province of Jawa Timur can cause rising surface temperatures that can impact the decline in health and environmental degradation. This research was conducted to know the dynamics of land cover change, and dynamics of the vehicle to surface temperature in Surabaya city. Methods that are in use are a spatial analysis of multi-temporal imagery and analysis by using statistical data. The data used in surface temperature analysis and land cover analysis in the form of vegetation is Landsat-8 (OLI/TIRS) during the recording period from 2014 to 2019 and vehicle dynamics data. The results showed a change of land cover with an estimated area of 2989,8 ha, a rise in surface temperature with an estimate of 3.95 0C, and with the increase in a several of vehicles by 929.225 units from 2013 until 2018. Large surface temperature shows the areas with crowded activities such as settlements area, industrial zone, and government zone.
