Abstract

Population growth and urbanization in Bandung Regency causes the need to increase. This encourages land conversion in open areas to become a built area to meet the needs of the community. Changes in land use avoid ecological imbalances between catchment areas and built areas. The flood phenomenon occurs in several districts in Bandung Regency every year, one of which is Baleendah District. The purpose of this study is to discuss changes in land use that occur in Baleendah District and discuss it with a flood disaster index. This study uses qualitative analysis of the exploration of secondary data and literature studies. Secondary data consisted of satellite image superimposition in 2003, 2006, 2009, 2013 and 2015. Then, the flood index used quantitative to increase the impact of the flood index that occurred in 2003, 2006, 2009, 2013 and 2015. Based on the results of the study, identified the existence of changes in flow in the river flow which increases the increase in the flood index.

Abstract

One of the urgent environmental issues that are encountered by densely populated cities today is climate change and Urban Heat Island (UHI) which are increasing significantly. In the development of outdoor spaces or urban public spaces, there are environmental issues that affect the comfort of human activities. Meteorological, physiological, and psychological parameters affect the thermal comfort of humans doing their activities outdoors. Walking as one of the outdoor activities, in terms of urban design, there is not much mention of climate factors in identifying the success of outdoor space design. Walkability, the comfort level of walking is one of the parameters that many researchers discuss in the context of activity studies related to outdoor activities. This study aims to further review the development of literature relating to the urban microclimate, thermal comfort to walkability, especially in high-density tropical cities.
