Analysis of Effect of Vegetation Change on Surface Temperature in Umbulharjo Village Area, Sleman Regency Using Geographic Information System

Abstract

Global Warming has increased the temperature across the hemisphere, with different sizes between regions. Land clearing for building construction is increasing in Umbulharjo Village. Plus the activity of some residents mine sand in the yard. These activities accelerate the change of vegetation cover in Umbulharjo village. Changes in vegetation cover and global warming are suspected to increase temperatures in Umbulharjo village. On the other side of Umbulharjo Village is famous for its cow’s milk production. Cow’s milk is produced from dairy cows that have susceptibility to temperature changes. This study attempts to analyze changes in vegetation cover and temperature changes in Umbulharjo Village using Geographic Information System method.
