“…As reported within a 50-m radius, critical parameters with significant influence on the minimum temperature (T min ) and average temperature (T avg ) values include the green plot ratio (GnPR), total tree leaf area (TREE), and percentage of green area (GREEN); parameters with significant influence on the maximum temperature (T max ) are sky view factor (SVF), GnPR, TREE, and GREEN [7]. Parks have significant cooling effect upon nearby buildings, and the distance from the nearest park can affect the ambient temperature in a given area [8][9][10]. As the cooling effects of vegetation or water extend into the surroundings, a park can reduce the air temperature in a busy commercial area by up to 1.5 • C [11].…”

Abstract:It is important to alleviate the "heat island effect" in urban areas, especially tropical cities. Microclimate is normally affected by the urban morphology parameters. The objective of this work is to investigate the correlation between air temperature variations and urban morphology parameters in tropical cities. Field measurement was carried out to record the air temperature at 27 points within an 8 km 2 urban area continuously in Singapore for one year. Geographical information system was applied to extract the urban morphology parameters. Generally, the maximum and minimum air temperature spatial differences in the study area ranged from 3.2 to 6.5 • C, indicating the significant effects of urban morphology on the air temperatures. Based on the fitting results of created multilinear regression models, parametric study has been performed to investigate the specific effects of urban morphology parameters on air temperatures. This work has proposed a much more precise regression model to predict the air temperature with various urban morphology parameters. In addition, meaningful value of reference has been offered for urban planners and landscape designers to effectively control the air temperature in tropical cities such as Singapore.

“…Kajian mengenai UHI penting dilakukan, mengingat terus meningkatnya suhu udara di daerah perkotaan dan dapat menciptakan lingkungan yang tidak nyaman bagi masyarakat (Salata et al, 2017). Salah satu kota terdampak urbanisasi adalah Kota Yogyakarta yang memiliki penduduk lebih dari setengah juta jiwa (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2015).…”

Peningkatan suhu di kawasan perkotaan adalah salah satu dampak dari urbanisasi. Fenomena Urban Heat Island (UHI) merupakan salah satu akibat yang dihasilkan akibat peningkatan suhu tersebut. Diperlukan upaya untuk menilai perubahan suhu apakah dapat berbahaya bagi manusia atau tidak. Melalui pengukuran UHI, pengaruh pembangunan kota terhadap peningkatan suhu dapat diukur. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memberikan panduan ilmiah tentang perolehan intensitas dan distribusi UHI menggunakan teknik penginderaan jauh. Studi kasus yang dilakukan berada di Kota Yogyakarta, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Citra penginderaan jauh yang digunakan adalah citra Landsat 8 perekaman tanggal 24 Juni 2013, path/row 120/65. Metode ekstraksi suhu permukaan menggunakan inversi persamaan Planck dengan koreksi emisivitas dan atmosfer menggunakan radiative transfer equation. Hasil pengolahan didapatkan intensitas UHI sebesar ±2,5oC pada Kota Yogyakarta dan intensitas UHI sebesar ±3,23oC pada area yang diperluas dengan buffer 1 km dari batas Kota Yogyakarta. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pemilihan area penelitian untuk analisis UHI menjadi penting karena mempengaruhi nilai intensitas UHI dan distribusi UHI. Ditemukan kawasan Malioboro dan sekitarnya berpotensi kuat terjadi UHI, sehingga perlu upaya mitigasi UHI pada kawasan tersebut. Pengukuran UHI menggunakan penginderaan jauh dipengaruhi oleh hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan sistem penginderaan jauh, seperti validasi dan akurasi hasil estimasi, pengaruh atmosfer, dan perbedaan waktu intensitas puncak UHI. Metode perolehan UHI dalam penelitian ini dapat menjadi panduan ilmiah yang digunakan untuk dasar evaluasi pembangunan perkotaan untuk lebih baik.

The term "Smart" in the last decade has often flanked other words to express a new and intelligent way of living in a modern society where you cannot separate the two synergic aspects: Energy and Sustainability. These latter two aspects flow into the new way of managing an isolated territory that often presents difficulties because of no interactions with the surrounding area; to remedy these difficulties has been developed in recent years the "Smart-Island" project, which involves many European countries and several sponsors. The concept of "SmartIsland" defines a way of life in an isolated environment, such as that of these islands, can solve independently, with the use of renewable and sustainable sources the energy needs of the island, with some projects that take into account the preservation and the wealth of the territory. In this paper, after a brief review of what has been proposed in some islands of the world, it will develop a case study, represented by the island of Favignana, which has particular characteristics in relation to its energy dependence.
