Abstract

Cities need decision-ready tools to convert satellite heat evidence into enforceable planning rules in tropical coastal contexts. This study quantifies how land-cover composition shapes land surface temperature (LST) in North Jakarta’s Penjaringan District and translates findings into policy metrics. Methodology: We mapped land cover (Google Earth object-based image analysis) and retrieved LST from Landsat (2005–2024). Variables were aggregated on a 150 ×150 m grid (n = 242) and related via ordinary least squares to estimate class-specific effects. Results & Conclusions: Built-up area expanded (+113%) while mangroves increased (+77%); cool LST classes collapsed and warm classes proliferated. Regression yields a stable hierarchy: built-up is the strongest warming driver; mangroves provide the strongest natural cooling; water and other vegetation also cool. On a per-fraction basis, mangrove cooling effectiveness is ~59% of built-up warming. These results establish quantitative, planning-scale evidence that nature-based assets can materially blunt urban heating in a dense coastal setting. Implications: We operationalize the evidence into four auditable indicators—Minimum Green-Space per Block, Canopy Connectivity Index, Per-Parcel Pervious Ratio, and a Cooling-Deficit Limit— and an adaptation-zoning workflow targeting persistent hotspots, impervious corridors, and coastal buffers. The metrics fit routine permitting and support annual, satellite-based audits, offering a replicable path to climate-resilient urban development. © 2025 The authors.
