Abstract

Cilegon’s appeal as an industrial city is heavily influenced by urbanization. The most important impact of urbanization is the increasing need for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, resulting in the rapid conversion of green land into built-up land. Reduced vegetated areas that function to absorb solar heat causes surface temperatures to increase so that the comfort of city residents decreases. This study aims to analyze the comfort level of the people of Cilegon City based on land surface temperature, vegetation density, and built-up land. The approach used was based on remote sensing based on Landsat-5 TM and Landsat 8 OLI/TIR image data using the Normalized Different Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI), Enhanced Built-up and Bareness Index (EBBI) index transformations, Land Surface Temperature (LST), and Temperature Humidity Index (THI). The results showed that developments in LST, NDVI, NDBI, and EBBI result in changes in THI. LST experienced an increase in temperature until it reached an average LST of 30.65 °C in 2019. This condition increased in temperature, causing a decrease in the comfort level of Cilegon City, where in 2019, most of the area was uncomfortable with a little comfort. Comfortable conditions were only felt in densely vegetated areas, while discomfort was felt in densely built-up areas. The correlation results showed a positive relationship between LST, NDBI, EBBI, and THI. There was a negative relationship between NDVI and THI. That is, an increase in LST, NDBI, and EBBI caused an increase in THI, while an increase in NDVI caused a decrease in THI and vice versa.
