Abstract

Community activities before, during, and after the Covid-19 pandemic have undergone significant changes. This is due to the limitation and exemption of activities set by the government which can also result in changes in surface temperature. Physical separation from the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) has led to a decrease in communal activities like traffic and the industrial sector, which has a policy of allowing most employees to work from home. This study intends to examine variations in Bandar Lampung surface temperature that took place in 2020, 2021, and. Identifying surface temperature using remote sensing technology, including Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 images. Both of these images have advantages with a large number of bands, especially the presence of a Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) wavelength which has a sensitivity to detect temperature. Utilization of this wavelength can distinguish parts of the earth's surface that have a hotter temperature than the surrounding area. The land surface temperature (LST) approach can be used to determine the dynamics of surface temperature variations before, during, and after the Covid-19 epidemic. Image processing and analysis are done using Google Earth Engine. The results of the analysis of surface temperatures before Covid, the image recording time in 2020 has a value range of 13oC - 32oC, during the occurrence of Covid, the 2021 recording time has a value range of 3oC - 33oC, while after Covid, the 2022 recording time has a value range of 18oC - 32oC.Keywords: Covid-19, Landsat 8, Landsat 9, LST

Abstract

Inappropriate land use can have negative impacts, increasing the risk of land becoming critical. Managing critical land and growing human needs is essential to balance land and water resources. This research aims to map necessary land in the Bengawan Solo watershed. The research method integrates remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) methods. Critical land analysis was conducted based on the Regulation of the Director General of Watershed and Protected Forest Control Number P.3/PDASHL/SET/KUM.1/7/2018, which is used as a reference in determining whether land is categorized as critical land. The regulation uses 4 (four) variables in its processing: land cover variables, slope, erosion hazard level, and forest area. The study results show land criticality in the Bengawan Solo watershed in 2023. Most areas have low slopes (0-8%), considered non-critical, covering 30.50% of the total area. In contrast, the Potentially Critical category (8-15%) dominates with 45.94% of the area, indicating potential risks in moderately steep areas. Areas with steeper slopes fall into the Critical (10.29%) and Very Critical (2.68%) categories.

Abstract

Remote sensing data and geographic information systems are widely used for land suitability analysis for crops such as coffee and corn. This study aims to analyze and map suitable land for the plant known locally as ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.). Â As the cultivation of this plant is expected to be developed by the Institute of Technology of Sumatra, analysis of this type is needed. The parameters used in this study were slope, land use, rainfall and soil type. Information extraction from remote sensing data was carried out via visual interpretation of aerial photography used to create land-cover maps. Shuttle RADAR Topographic Mission (SRTM) data was converted from digital surface model (DSM) to digital terrain model (DTM) to provide elevation information. Land suitability analysis was performed using a scoring method and overlay analysis. The results obtained from the analysis identified several classes of land suitability for Physalis angulata L., categorized as suitable, less suitable, and not suitable. The less suitable class, scored at 9 to 11, comprised a total area of 180.96 ha, while the suitable area, scored at 12, comprised a total area of 49.1 ha.
