Abstract

ABSTRACT: The increase of urban air temperature is a common phenomenon experiences by many cities in the world including Jakarta, Indonesia. One method to trace out this temperature increased is temperature traverse across different land use types in an urban area. For this study, observation was carried out for six months; starting from October 2011 to March 2012 and a total of 26 and 20 stations were created along the north-south and the east-west traverses, respectively. The results showed that the average monthly temperature of 28.3°C was calculated for a north-south traverse during the night , with the highest temperature of 29.0° C was recorded at the Jembatan Merah bus station point and the Swiss Hotel point. Meanwhile, the lowest temperature of 26. 9° C was recorded at the Pintu Gerbang Universitas Indonsia point station. On a monthly basis, February was recorded the lowest temperature (27.4° C), while October was recorded the highest temperature (2 9.4° C). For the east-west traverse, the monthly average temperature was 28.3° C where the highest temperature of 29. 2°C was recorded at the Taman Kota Pondok Kopi station; meanwhile the lowest temperature of 27.6 °C was recorded at the Flay over Ciledug station. In addition, October was recorded the highest temperature (29.5° C), while February was observed the lowest temperature (27.3°C). Based on these temperature traverses, the average value of the urban heat island intensity during the night time was calculated at 2. 1°C for the north -south traverse; meanwhile the value of UH II of 1.6 °C was calculated for the east -west traverse during the nighttime. These high temperatures across various land uses in the city of Jakarta have definitely affects the thermal discomfort feeling among the urban dwellers of the Jakarta City.
