A COMPARISON OF ESTIMATED LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE FROM LANDSAT 8 BETWEEN DKI JAKARTA AND PEKAT VILLAGE

ABSTRACT

Land Surface Temperature (LST) shows the general temperature condition of environment and many factors may affect it such as weather, cloud coverage, and sun exposure time. During the Corona Virus pandemic, Indonesia implemented the Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat (PPKM) system that restricted many activities and suspected of influencing LST in one or another way. PPKM system itself does not cover every province in Indonesia;thus, it is suspected that LST between areas either do or do not implement PPKM may differ. This paper aims to map and analyze LST between Jakarta Province and Pekat Village before and during implementation of PPKM using descriptive research method with a quantitative approach. The results show that there is a significant temperature change in Jakarta when the PPKM level changes transpires. Pekat Village also experiences temperature changes although it is not affected by PPKM system. Even though there are some data anomalies, the temperature changes are within expectation. Therefore, this concludes that PPKM brought some slight effects toward LST and its changes. © 2023 ICIC International. All rights reserved.
