Abstract

The Semarang area is one of the metropolitan areas in Indonesia. It has an impact on high population growth, both from natural growth and urbanization, which results in an increase in population density. In 2019, the population in the Semarang area was recorded at 3,062,936 people and will continue to grow yearly. It can lead to an escalation in the built-up land area to meet the needs of life, which will affect the temperature changes. This study aims to (a) analyze population density in the Semarang area in 1999, 2009, and 2019; (b) examine the temperature distribution in the Semarang area in 1999, 2009, and 2019; and (c) identify the correlation between population density and surface temperature in the Semarang area in 1999, 2009, and 2019. The data used in this study were Landsat 5 TM imagery and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS imagery for temperature data extraction in the Semarang area. The secondary data were population and area per sub-district from Statistics Indonesia. Google Earth Engine for processing temperature and ArcMap for processing population density were employed in this study. The analysis utilized in this research was a quantitative study. The results revealed a drastic change in area in the temperature class of 31.01 ℃–41 ℃. Additionally, there is a relatively strong impact between changes in population density and changes in temperature, with a coefficient of determination of 18.3%. It can have an impact on diminishing green space.
