The research aims to determine the distribution and concentration levels of CO and NO2 gases based on Sentinel-5P Satellite Image processing and UHI levels based on Landsat 8 Image processing during the implementation of Covid-19 Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) in Pekanbaru City. Data processing begins by extracting CO and NO2 gas data as well as Landsat 8 imagery via cloud computing on Google Earth Engine (GEE). The PSBB policy in Pekanbaru City came into effect in 2020. The PSBB policy will limit community activities, which will affect the concentration of CO and NO2 gases as well as UHI. The research results show that before the 2019 Covid-19 PSBB the respective concentrations of CO and NO2 gases were (CO: 4.16 x 10-3 mol/m2 – 4.70 x 10-3 mol/m2) and (NO2: 4, 16 x 10-5 mol/m2 – 5.68 x 10-5 mol/m2) with a UHI temperature of 34.23 0C. Then, when the PSBB was implemented in 2020, there was a decrease in the concentration of CO and NO2 gases to (CO: 2.87 x 10-3 mol/m2 – 3.20 x 10-3 mol/m2) and (NO2: 2.98 x 10-5 mol/m2 – 5.28 x 10-5 mol/m2) with the UHI temperature decreasing to 30.24 0C. However, CO and NO2 gas concentrations increased again after PSBB in 2021 to (CO: 2.90 x 10-3 mol/m2 – 3.31 x 10-3 mol/m2) and (NO2: 2.87 x 10-5 mol/m2 – 5.76 x 10-5 mol/m2) which was followed by an increase in the UHI temperature to 32.62 0C. Therefore, it is known that the concentration of CO and NO2 gases will affect UHI. If the concentration of CO and NO2 gas increases, the UHI temperature will also increase.
