Climate change has become a global issue with significant impacts, especially in urban areas, with the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon being one of its catalysts. This research aims to analyze the effect of the Urban Heat Island phenomenon in Semarang City in 2024, triggered by population growth, urbanization, and land use changes. This research uses spatial analysis methods based on Google Earth Engine (GEE) and Landsat-8 satellite imagery to calculate surface temperature. The sampling technique uses the Purposive Sampling method. The population of this study consists of people residing or staying in the city of Semarang, and the samples are the Garnisun Field area representing South Semarang, the Tugu Muda area representing Central Semarang, and the Old Town area representing North Semarang. The research results show that the highest temperature was recorded in the Tugu Muda area, which was 37.3°C, followed by the Garnisun Field at 36.8°C and the Old Town at 36.4°C. The main factors contributing to the intensity of UHI include the conversion of vegetated land into built-up areas, emissions from motor vehicles, and the lack of green open spaces. The recommended mitigation measures are implementing environmentally friendly technologies such as green roofs, green walls, and high-albedo materials, as well as expanding green spaces in residential and commercial areas.

The growth in population and private vehicles in Surabaya has caused a significant increase in traffic congestion. To overcome this problem, the Surabaya City government implemented the Suroboyo Bus public transportation policy as an alternative solution. This research aims to evaluate the impact of this policy in reducing traffic jams in the city of Surabaya. The research methods used include secondary data analysis from related agencies, Suroboyo Bus user satisfaction surveys, as well as field observations at several main congestion points. The research results show that the implementation of Suroboyo Bus contributed to reducing the volume of private vehicles by 12% on main routes and increasing public interest in public transportation. However, the effectiveness of this policy still faces challenges, especially in terms of integration of transportation modes and service area coverage. In conclusion, the Suroboyo Bus policy has great potential to reduce congestion if supported by infrastructure development and increasing public awareness of the use of public transportation.

The global food crisis has become one of the most pressing issues requiring serious attention, especially as the world's population continues to grow. This growth has led to an increasing demand for food, while agricultural resources such as fertile land, water, and labor become increasingly limited.
