“…Additionally, heterogeneous degrees of persistence in temperature and precipitation exist in US cities (Gil-Alaña et al, 2022). Finally, evidence shows that fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) possesses low persistence implying mean reversion and transitory effect of shocks in 20 megacities across the world (Bermejo et al, 2022).…”

“…Air pollution can damage the respiratory system, exacerbate the problem of climate change, and threaten the sustainability of the environment as a whole (Agustian et al, 2020;Syuhada et al, 2023). Therefore, the development of air pollution mitigation policies is the main concern of many countries (Bermejo et al, 2023), including Indonesia. For several decades, Indonesian peatlands have been drained for agricultural growth.…”

This comprehensive study examines the complex phenomenon of air pollution in Indonesia, providing insights into various aspects such as current conditions, the policy framework, and potential strategies ahead. By conducting a comprehensive review of relevant literature and employing novel methods to analyze Google Trends data, a meticulous examination of prevailing themes and public inquiries is revealed. SigniBicantly, there is an increasing societal awareness of air pollution's condition, effects, and regulation, especially in urban cities, in August 2023. This study not only highlights the current difBiculties but also delves into potential lessons learned by other countries and provides valuable suggestions. This paper makes a valuable contribution to the Bield of air pollution mitigation policies and environmental management. This study provides policymakers, industries, and communities with a comprehensive framework to address air pollution problems. This comprehensive study allows relevant stakeholders to adopt strategies that lead to a more environmentally sustainable Indonesia.

“…UHIs can have a significant impact on both the environment and people's livelihoods. Urban overheating increases energy demand and causes a higher consumption of electricity, which results in increased emission of greenhouse gases from power plants and pollutants such as particulate matter and ground level ozone, which is highly toxic [49][50][51][52][53][54]. UHIs also result in impaired water quality: warm and polluted stormwater runoff from urban impervious materials can cause substantial increase in nearby water bodies' temperature and harm aquatic life [55][56][57][58].…”

Urban heat vulnerability varies within and across cities, necessitating detailed studies to understand diverse populations’ specific vulnerabilities. This research assessed urban heat vulnerability at block group level in three Alabama cities: Birmingham, Montgomery, and Auburn-Opelika. The vulnerability index combines exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity subindices, incorporating Landsat 8 satellite-derived Land Surface Temperature (LST), demographic, and socioeconomic data using factor analysis and geospatial techniques. Results showed strong positive correlations between LST and impervious surfaces in Auburn-Opelika and Montgomery, with a moderate correlation in Birmingham. An inverse correlation between LST and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index was observed in all cities. High LST correlated with high population density, varying across cities. Birmingham and Montgomery’s central areas exhibited the highest heat exposure, influenced by imperviousness, population density, and socioeconomic factors. Auburn-Opelika had limited high heat exposure block groups, and high sensitivity did not always align with exposure. Correlations and cluster analysis were used to dissect the heat vulnerability index, revealing variations in contributing factors within and across cities. This study underscores the complex interplay of physical, social, and economic factors in urban heat vulnerability and emphasizes the need for location-specific research. Local governance, community engagement, and tailored interventions are crucial for addressing unique vulnerabilities in each urban context.
