The Spatio-Temporal Pattern Air Quality during Pandemic in Batang District Based on Google Earth Engine Approach

Abstract

Resilient and sustainable infrastructure development is necessary to support innovative industries. Batang Regency is one of the regencies on the island of Java that is currently intensively building infrastructure to prepare the Batang Integrated Industrial Estate (KITB). Therefore, the government also supports this Presidential Regulation Number 79 of 2019 and Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2020, which observes the development of the Batang Regency Integrated Industrial Estate. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit Indonesia in early March 2020, many changes occurred in the infrastructure development process. Some infrastructure has been temporarily suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Of course, this will be followed by a decrease in emissions due to limited movement and infrastructure development there. This study wants to analyze how the air changes from the beginning of the pandemic until 2022. The air changes will be seen by monitoring NO2 formed from emissions from cars, trucks, buses, and industry. This is intended to measure/identify how the pattern of air changes considering the Batang District is passed by the Pantura road so that there is a high intensity of movement. The method used is spatial analysis with google earth engine Sentinel 5P images. The result of this study can provide input monitoring emissions related to technological advances in the era of open data.
