Abstract

The purpose of reviewing the literature is how to design the concept of forest areas as a climate change strategy so that climate change is controlled. The method for creating an article is by reviewing the literature of each journal related to forest areas as a climate change strategy with a total of 30 journals. The results obtained from the literature review are that climate change depends on the amount of forest area, as evidence that almost every tree, especially trees that are protected forests, contains oxygen that functions to determine the temperature in the environment so that the more trees there are, the more stable the temperature and the condition of the environment is protected from the risk of natural disasters such as floods and landslides. The role in managing forest areas requires a concept of how to manage forests and care for them properly, especially for types of trees that are a source of oxygen that is useful for living things including humans. For this reason, in controlling the climate in the environment, it is necessary to maintain and preserve forests so that the climate can be controlled and the environment is more beautiful and improvements are needed in the management of forest areas so that the climate becomes stable

Abstract

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon causes an increase in temperature in urban areas, significantly impacting air quality and public health. This study aims to identify the causes of UHI, its effects on air quality, and to assess vegetation-based solutions for its mitigation. The method used includes a systematic literature review of 30 relevant articles on the impact of UHI on air quality, particularly its effects on human health. Data sources include articles published between 2019-2024 that are relevant to the study and have been cited more than 100 times. The results show that UHI can increase temperatures in urban areas by 5-10°C, worsen air quality by raising ozone concentrations, and affect public health, particularly among vulnerable groups. Tree planting and expanding green areas have been shown to effectively reduce temperatures by up to 3°C. The conclusion highlights that UHI mitigation through greening is an essential step to improve air quality and public health in urban environments. Policies supporting tree planting and the development of green open spaces are crucial for creating healthier and more sustainable cities
