ABSTRACT
Jakarta has been known as the capital city, has been dealing with air pollution since many years ago. The main contributor of air pollution in Jakarta is due to large population, and high numbers of transportation, of which still running on diesel fuels, emitting far higher levels of pollutants. Carbon monoxide pollution is associate with number of transportations run in the city. Mobility index provided by Facebook Data for Good has managed to identify people's movement during COVID-19 period (stay put and change in movement matrix's). Therefore, this study aims to analyze the dynamic of carbon monoxide emissions during the COVID-19 pandemic in Jakarta. The results showed the distribution of CO emission in Jakarta and its mobility index of each quarter showed a similar pattern. The quarter 2 of 2020) is presented the lowest CO emission distribution value compared to the other five quarters, ranging from 0.0309-0.0334 mol/m2. The low value of CO emission distribution during that period was related to the low community mobility index (index of go) in the same period. While in the next quarter which is quarter 3 2020, the CO emission was relatively increased ranging from 0.031-0.037 mol/m2, which associated with the rise of mobility index stay of go value. Therefore, in this study, there is a relationship between the distribution of CO emission with the mobility index provided by Facebook. © ACRS 2021.All right reserved.
ABSTRACT
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a global impact on all sectors including the environment. The spread of covid-19 is very much influenced by human activity and mobility. Human activities are also closely related to air pollutant emissions. High concentrations of air pollutants during the Covid-19 pandemic will increase the risk of being exposed to Covid-19. Jakarta and its surrounding area (known locally as Jabodetabek) have high population density. These cities are economic and industrial centers. Air pollutant emissions in these cities are very high. High concentrations of air pollutants during the Covid-19 pandemic will increase the risk of being exposed to Covid. To anticipate this problem, the government made a Large-Scale Social Restriction Policy (PSBB). Limited human activities, in addition to having an impact on reducing the risk of humans being exposed to Covid-19 from the droplets released by tested-positive of Covid-19, also have an impact on reducing emissions of air pollutants so that they can reduce the risk of being exposed to Covid-19. Several variables that influence vulnerability and risk to exposure to Covid-19 are the distribution of settlements, roads, economic centers (markets, business centers, industrial centers), and human mobility. In this study, we will also analyze the role of green open space on the risk of exposure to Covid-19. Green open space plays an important role in reducing air pollutants so that it will also affect the risk of being exposed to Covid-19. This study aimed to (1) examine the distribution of air pollutants based on the vulnerability and risk of COVID-19 in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek), and (2) examine the results of the overlay between land cover and vulnerability and risk to Covid-19.
