INTRODUCTION & LITERATURE REVIEW
• Majalengka Regency is considered by the West Java Provincial Government as
one of the prioritiesfordevelopment infrastructure to support the acceleration
of development including the West Java International Airport mega project
that has been built in Kertajati sub-district, as well as centers for relocation of
various industries and the concept of developing Kertajati Aero City, housing,
universities, hospitals, shopping centers, bussinescenter, resort, entertainment
and recreation (Kurniawati, 2017).
• Development carried out continuously and uncontrolled will cause the condition
of the surface temperature of land in urban areas is higher than the
surrounding area, the difference in surface temperature is called Urban Heat
Island (UHI) (Khomarudin, 2004).

METHODS
Study Area
• This research area is Majalengka regency
• The area of Majalengka Regency is 1.315 km2• astronomically located at 108° 03’-108° 25’ East
Longitude dan 6° 36’- 7° 03’ South Latitude• administrative includes 26 districts, 13 sub-
districts, and 334 villages
Data
• Land surface temperature in this study is
temperature data obtained from satellite image
processing Landsat 8 (from the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) ) path 121 row 65 in
band 10 using mono window algorithm.
• Land cover is obtained from the results of
satellite image processing using the method
supervised classification.
• Greenness vegetation is obtained from
processing the NDVI algorithm from band 5
(NIR) and band 4 (RED) on Landsat 8 imagery.
• Building density is obtained from processing the
NDBI band 5 (NIR) and band 6 (SWIR)
algorithms on Landsat 8 imagery. 4

Conclusion
Spatially-temporally, the urban heat island phenomenon in Majalengka Regency from 2013,
2016 and 2019, occurred at temperatures >30 °C which were dominated by built and open
land, with medium building density and low green vegetation. With high temperature
concentrations located in the city center in the central part and towards the north of Majalengka
Regency. Meanwhile, further away from the city, namely to the southern part of the land surface
temperature is getting lower with vegetation land cover, high green vegetation, and low building
density.
the higher the greenness of the vegetation, the lower the temperature of the land surface.
Whereas the building density shows a directly proportional relationship, meaning that the higher
the building density, the higher the land surface temperature and vice versa. Land cover is
related to land surface temperature because generally high temperatures are associated with
built-up land and low land surface temperatures are associated with vegetation land cover.
