“…The observed air temperatures varied significantly according to land cover types: air temperatures were higher in the built-up area and lower in the vegetated area. This has been reported by some studies [11], [13], [21]. The facts that greenhouse gasses are the source of global rising temperature is obvious and has become scientific belief.…”

Increasing mean atmospheric temperature is considered as an indicator of global warming and eventually climate change. Source of increasing atmospheric temperature is the accumulation of greenhouse gases. However, these emissions will affect atmosphere temperatures in a global scale and in long term. In smaller scale -both in spatial and time- land surface condition is probably the dominant factor compared to greenhouse gases emission. This paper attempted to analyze those two factors in local air temperature rise, using Bandar Lampung City, Indonesia as the study area. The results showed that N20 was the greenhouse gas that have closest connections to local air maximum temperature compared to CH4 and CO2. Related to different local surface condition, it was clear that business area of Bandar Lampung was the hottest local maximum temperature with maximum temperature difference 1.5 oC. It is convinced that greenhouse gases emission is the source of global temperature rising, however, understanding how local surface condition affected the air temperature would motivate public and local government to maintain vegetation area in a city.

“…In this study, vulnerability is considered as a function of three determinants: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. This framework, presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in its third Assessment Report [103], is widely used, as attested by many studies [104][105][106][107][108][109][110]. Exposure and sensitivity represent the potential impacts of a hazard (here, urban heat), while adaptive capacity denotes the ability of a system to use its resources and institutions to adapt, mitigate, and cope with impacts.…”

Urban heat vulnerability varies within and across cities, necessitating detailed studies to understand diverse populations’ specific vulnerabilities. This research assessed urban heat vulnerability at block group level in three Alabama cities: Birmingham, Montgomery, and Auburn-Opelika. The vulnerability index combines exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity subindices, incorporating Landsat 8 satellite-derived Land Surface Temperature (LST), demographic, and socioeconomic data using factor analysis and geospatial techniques. Results showed strong positive correlations between LST and impervious surfaces in Auburn-Opelika and Montgomery, with a moderate correlation in Birmingham. An inverse correlation between LST and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index was observed in all cities. High LST correlated with high population density, varying across cities. Birmingham and Montgomery’s central areas exhibited the highest heat exposure, influenced by imperviousness, population density, and socioeconomic factors. Auburn-Opelika had limited high heat exposure block groups, and high sensitivity did not always align with exposure. Correlations and cluster analysis were used to dissect the heat vulnerability index, revealing variations in contributing factors within and across cities. This study underscores the complex interplay of physical, social, and economic factors in urban heat vulnerability and emphasizes the need for location-specific research. Local governance, community engagement, and tailored interventions are crucial for addressing unique vulnerabilities in each urban context.

“…The temperature disparity between cities and the rest of the country, or the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, is one example (Kotharkar, Ramesh, & Bagade, 2018). Researchers in Indonesia have broadly concentrated on UHI; for example, the UHI recognizable proof in Jakarta and Lampung focused (Manik & Syaukat, 2015). The aftereffects of UHI research in Lampung and Jakarta show that UHI dangers of UHI were distinguished in the two urban areas.…”

Since the nineteenth century, scientists have studied the Urban Heat Island (UHI). The negative effects of UHI could be mitigated with the help of interdisciplinary studies, but none have been performed so far. UHI research in schools has some holes that could seriously hinder students' grasp of climate change. The purpose of this research is to ascertain whether or not the Urban Heat Island module is necessary for enhancing students' understanding of climate change in the classroom. The Greater Solo Area Region's 72 geographic teachers were chosen at random for this study. Preliminary data on teachers' familiarity with UHI in the Greater Solo Area shows that, on average, they know very little about UHI. About 47 percent of the teachers surveyed had no understanding at all of UHI, while the remaining 25 percent had a moderate amount of knowledge, seven percent had high understanding, and three percent had very high understanding. Results from a test given to educators in both the suburbs and the city corroborated these observations. All teachers agreed that the UHI enrichment module created using a contextual approach was necessary as a supplementary medium for climate change material, as indicated by the results of the teacher needs assessment tests.
