Correlation analysis of the impact of land cover change and ratio vehicles on the dynamic of land surface temperature: Case studies of Cirebon City, Province of West Java

Abstract

Global warming is causing an increase in surface temperature due to the depletion of vegetation and the increasing number of vehicles. In urban areas, an increase in temperature can significantly be degrading the urban heat island phenomenon, in the long run, it is capable of changing the microclimate. Surface temperature and density of vegetation retrieved from multi-Temporal satellite remote sensing data. This research aims to analyze the effect of vehicle and vegetation ratio against the surface temperature in Cirebon town. This research utilizes data Landsat-5 TM and Landsat-8 OLI who validated with data on the MODIS period in 1998, 2008, as well as 2018. The interaction between surface temperature and density of the vegetation the spatial correlation analysis revealed through. Throughout the years 1998 until 2018 an increase in the surface temperature of 1.18 °C, which in follow with an increase in the number of vehicles at 142,171 unit for eighteen years and decrease in the area vegetation be 12,683 km2. The highest surface temperature is centered on CBD, port, congestion-prone areas, industrial zones, and terminals.
