Abstract

Climate change is caused by global warming due to human activities that contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Land-based human activities result in changes in dense vegetation, especially forest stands to land cover with low vegetation density (non-forest). Changes in land cover cause changes in surface temperature and humidity conditions. The forest area in KPHP Unit XII Batanghari has undergone significant changes in land cover over the last twenty years. This study aimed to analyse the spatial distribution of vegetation density (NDVI) and land surface temperature (LST) using remote sensing data and in this study, Landsat 8 satellite imagery was assessed. Landsat images have two thermal bands and they can be analysed to obtain information about the existing land surface temperature at the time when the earth being scanned. The results showed that the vegetation density index or NDVI ranged from 0.132 to 0.866. The higher the NDVI value, the higher the vegetation density. The value of LST in KPHP Unit XII Batanghari varied, with a range of LST with a low temperature value of 18-25°C, where low temperatures have land cover classes in the form of secondary forest and other vegetated areas such as plantations and agriculture. Meanwhile, high temperature values are areas with open or non-vegetated land cover classes with a temperature range of 28-52 ° C.
