Planning for compact eco-cities: A spatial planning to prioritise green infrastructure development to mitigate urban heat island in Surabaya

Abstract

The phenomenon of Urban Heat Island (UHI) will be exacerbated in the coming years by rising surface temperatures due to urban growth. Implementation of urban green infrastructure (UGI) such as green roof, green wall, parks, road trees can help reduce temperatures in urban areas, including reducing pollution. Currently, there is no information available for land managers to determine the right strategy for UGI implementation based on a spatial approach. So that a framework is arranged to determine UGI priorities and elections in creating a compact eco-city. The framework is supported by a review of scientific literature related to UHI phenomenon in Surabaya, UGI and urban heat island mitigation in comparative descriptive and gap analysis. UGI implementation priorities are allocated based on observing the location of urban heat island using Landsat 8 OIL TIRS, behavioral Exposure and spatial land-use patterns are taking a result in Kali Rungkut sub-district, East Surabaya.
