Local Wisdom Approach Model as a Mitigation Effort of Urban Heat Island in Urban Infrastructure Development Case Study: Sorong City

Abstract

The phenomenon of population growth that is experienced by almost all cities in the world has resulted in an increasing urban population density. This research used mixed methodological method with several stages, analyzing the characteristics of city form and city function in Sorong City related to urban infrastructure development, determining the factors that affect surface temperature seen from the city form and city function caused by urban infrastructure develop-ment and formulating the concept of Mitiasi Urban Heat Island caused by urban infrastructure development with a local wisdom approach. The results of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) analysis, the phenomenon occurs in Sorong City. This was indicated by the lower temperature in the suburbs of Sorong City compared to the urban area. From these results, there is hope that this method can use as an effort to use as a method in analyzing it the occurrence of the UHI phe-nomenon in Sorong City.
