Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the Indonesian government to implement a lockdown policy or Community Activities Restrictions Enforcement (CARE, also known as PPKM). A comfort level study is necessary as a consideration in regional development for the construction of industry, residential areas, and green open spaces that address the comfort level of the residents. The comfort level can be determined using the Temperature Humidity Index (THI) method. This study aimed to analyze the comparison of the comfort level of the people of Yogyakarta before the pandemic, during the lockdown, and transition post-COVID-19 pandemic, to examine the comparison of Land Surface Temperature (LST) in Yogyakarta before the pandemic, during the lockdown, and transition post COVID-19 pandemic, and to find the relationship between LST and the level of community comfort based on the THI index in Yogyakarta before the pandemic, during the lockdown, and transition post-COVID-19. Identification of the THI method was carried out by implementing temperature and relative humidity data. Temperature data were obtained from Landsat 8 image processing, while relative humidity data were taken from the Sleman Geophysics Station and Yogyakarta Climatology Station. The results showed that during the lockdown, the policy was implemented in May 2020, followed by a decrease in anthropogenic activity. Consequently, people’s comfort increased sharply compared to other periods. An increase in the level of community comfort was supplemented by a decrease in the value of LST in the same period. These results indicate that the community comfort level can be affected by changes in LST values.
