Abstract

Global warming due to increased activity of the city center from time to time raises the risk of a rise in temperature, but the urban green space can provide a micro-climate control and thermal comfort. This study analyzes the spatial distribution of thermal comfort, based on the method Temperature Humidity Index (THI) and using satellite imagery 2B recording Sentinel February 20, 2019, to Obtain information about the density of the vegetation. The thermal comfort of urban green space has a tendency quite comfortable, being uncomfortable thermal conditions associated with open land and undeveloped land. The density of vegetation on urban green space has big influence on the Decrease in THI. Relationships density urban green space with THI assessed using linear regression with a sample of 117 on one of the major cities in Indonesia.
