Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Urban thermal comfort is one of the factors that directly affect urban quality. This study aims to determine the dynamics of thermal comfort in Surakarta City from 2013 to 2023. The analysis method used is to measure the level of thermal comfort using the Thermal Humidity Index (THI) using surface temperature and relative humidity data. The measurement results show that the category of quite comfortable dominates the dynamics of thermal comfort in Surakarta City in 2013 and 2018, while in 2023, the level of comfort in Surakarta City has increased, so the comfort category dominates it. The distribution of comfort categories shows that the North side of Surakarta City is more comfortable compared to the South side of Surakarta City.
