Evaluating the Effects of Mobility Restrictions during COVID-19 on Land Surface Temperature with GIS and Satellite Data

In order to analyze specific occurrences, such as the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects, experts from a variety of professions might work together. The majority of study, such as those on economics, health, spread projections, and similar topics, focuses on just one area of the field. Therefore, several multidisciplinary teams need to collaborate in analyzing the occurring phenomena. The method employed in this research involves using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (RS-GIS) to observe the impact of the pandemic phenomenon on environmental conditions, specifically surface temperature warming in Bekasi Regency, Indonesia. This is due to its impact not only on health but also on other aspects. This study converts Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 images using (RS-GIS) technologies to extract thermal sensors (Band 10 and Band 11). The test results indicate that the temperature rises annually, but that it falls during the COVID-19 pandemic.
