Abstract

Urbanization has opened urban thermal comfort zones thereby creating an urban island environment worldwide. Knowledge necessary to mitigate this phenomenon extends beyond knowledge of the city itself. This study sought to determine the role of the environment in creating an urban heat island. A literature review was applied, to collect current knowledge on the social, built, modified, and natural environments, in the POETIC framework. The aim was to ascertain the environmental components of the urban heat island in Palembang City. The results indicated some environmental dimensions of the urban heat island in Palembang. The social dimension consists of education level, people density in a house, and income level. Built dimension consists of the distance between buildings, material albedo, material impermeability, building height, ventilation number, and ventilation area. The modified environment dimension consists of an area of burning spots in open spaces, water pollution level, air pollution level, garden area, and green roof area. The natural environment consists of green open space area, vegetation density, and leaf area exposed to open space. Some hypotheses were developed and recommended for further research. Keywords: Environment, POETIC model, Urban Heat Island
