Urban Growth of Palembang and Its Impact on Land Surface Temperature Using Remote Sensing and GIS Technique

Palembang has a new identity after a sports event. Palembang transforms from river city to landed city. This research analyses the transformation of Palembang using remote sensing and spatial metrics. This research used 3 different images of the map take from Landsat image. That maps separates into 4 categories: first maps from 2001 and 2003, before National sports event in 2004; second map, after SEA Games, map 2014; the third from the maps of 2015 and 2016 (before Asian Games 2018) and the last map at 2018, after all sport event at Palembang. Those maps are taken from Landsat 7 dataset and were analysed into two different categories, first categories were analysed the built-up index and second one about land surface temperature. This research shows that sports events can transform Palembang into a modern city. The result shows that the urban growth of Palembang brought the impact that the land surface temperature increased.
