Abstract
Industrial development has emerged as a significant driver of environmental degradation and urban heat island (UHI) formation. However, studies explicitly addressing the long-term spatial impact of heavy industries—particularly in tropical, cloud-prone regions—remain limited due to persistent data gaps and noise in satellite observations. This study addresses that research gap by analyzing the environmental effects of industrial activities in Cilegon City, Indonesia—one of the nation's largest industrial zones—using monthly Landsat-8 time series data from 2014 to 2022. A hybrid filtering approach was applied to reconstruct high-quality data by removing cloud and cloud shadow interference. The reconstructed NDVI and LST were then used as multivariate input features to model Land Surface Temperature (LST) using the XGBoost algorithm, with 30-m spatial resolution. The predicted LST was subsequently analyzed alongside NDVI to examine spatio-temporal trends and quantify industrial heat island (IHI) effects. Results show that industrial heat extends up to 1.5 km from core industrial zones, with IHI intensity reaching 5.58 °C in 2022. Vegetation health showed severe decline, with NDVI values dropping by 81.36 % in industrial cores and 29.25 % in adjacent areas. LST exhibited a positive trend of 0.23 °C/month in highly industrialized subdistricts and maintained a strong negative correlation with NDVI (r = −0.95). These findings highlight the amplified environmental impact of industrial activities in cloud-prone tropical cities and emphasize the urgent need for sustainable land management and the implementation of green infrastructure to mitigate local warming and protect surrounding ecosystems.
期刊介绍:
The journal ''Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment'' (RSASE) focuses on remote sensing studies that address specific topics with an emphasis on environmental and societal issues - regional / local studies with global significance. Subjects are encouraged to have an interdisciplinary approach and include, but are not limited by: " -Global and climate change studies addressing the impact of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, CO2 emission, carbon balance and carbon mitigation, energy system on social and environmental systems -Ecological and environmental issues including biodiversity, ecosystem dynamics, land degradation, atmospheric and water pollution, urban footprint, ecosystem management and natural hazards (e.g. earthquakes, typhoons, floods, landslides) -Natural resource studies including land-use in general, biomass estimation, forests, agricultural land, plantation, soils, coral reefs, wetland and water resources -Agriculture, food production systems and food security outcomes -Socio-economic issues including urban systems, urban growth, public health, epidemics, land-use transition and land use conflicts -Oceanography and coastal zone studies, including sea level rise projections, coastlines changes and the ocean-land interface -Regional challenges for remote sensing application techniques, monitoring and analysis, such as cloud screening and atmospheric correction for tropical regions -Interdisciplinary studies combining remote sensing, household survey data, field measurements and models to address environmental, societal and sustainability issues -Quantitative and qualitative analysis that documents the impact of using remote sensing studies in social, political, environmental or economic systems
