UTILIZATION OF REMOTE SENSING FOR LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE (LST) DISTRIBUTION MAPPING IN SOLOK CITY IN 2021

Abstract

Solok City is one of the cities in West Sumatra which has a fairly rapid population growth, this has led to an increase in development and a decrease in green open land or vegetation land. This affects the ground surface which absorbs and reflects more of the sun's heat. These conditions have an impact on rising surface temperatures. This research was conducted to analyze changes in vegetation land, built-up land and changes in surface temperature in Solok City using Landsat-8 Imagery of Solok City in 2015 and 2021 using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDVI) algorithm models. (NDBI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST). The results of the study explain that the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in Solok City has decreased, in 2015 the area of ​​vegetation density was 2344 Ha and in 2021 it was reduced to 1888 Ha. This is in line with the increase in building area / Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) in 2015, namely 1 from 921 Ha to 2295 Ha in 2021. Reduced vegetation area and increased built-up area increased Land Surface Temperature (LST) in the area. research, the temperature in 2015 was around 32.9° C and in 2021 there was an increase in surface temperature to 33.6° C. Pearson product-moment correlation was carried out to see the level of relationship between LST and NDVI and NDBI.
