[Perkembangan kota-kota besar di Indonesia terus berlangsung dalam sepuluh tahun terakhir. Salah satunya adalah Kota Palembang. Dengan banyaknya ajang olahraga internasional turut membantu percepatan pembangunan disana. Pembangunan yang gencar ikut merubah tutupan lahan yang juga berdampak pada perubahan iklim, yaitu kenaikan suhu permukaan daratan. Maka pola perubahan suhu permukaan daratan yang dipengaruhi oleh tutupan lahan menjadi topik yang diteliti. Data yang digunakan adalah Citra Landsat 7 ETM+ di tahun 2001 dan 2014. Indeks vegetasi NDVI dan Indeks bangunan NDBI digunakan untuk melihat kerapatan vegetasi dan bangunan dari citra satelit. Hasil yang didapat adalah pola perubahan tutupan lahan yang menjalar linear dari tenggara menuju barat laut juga membuat suhu permukaan daratan lebih tinggi di tahun 2014 dibandingkan tahun 2001. Hasil ini didukung oleh uji statistik yang juga menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi kerapatan bangunan, semakin tinggi pula suhu permukaan daratannya. Dan semakin tinggi kerapatan vegetasi, maka semakin rendah suhu permukaan daratannya.;The growth cities in Indonesia keep going in past ten years. Palembang is the one of most developed city in Indonesia. That developing plan are helped by every international sport event that held in Palembang. The construction for maintaining city itself often change land cover in Palembang. That Landover change also have direct impact to urban climate in Palembang. Land surface temperature in this city describe how climate change impact by land cover change in past ten years in Palembang. The methods are using satellite imagery from Landsat 7 ETM+ in July 13th, 2001 and August 2nd, 2014. For describing land cover, this paper use NDVI and NDBI indices to represent the density of vegetation and building in Palembang. The result are spatial pattern about land cover are spread from South East to North West in Palembang. That land cover changes also rise the land surface temperature in same direction. So that, land surface temperature in 2014 are heater than 2001. This result also tested in statistically. Therefore, when land surface temperature rise, the building density are descend. Beside when land surface temperature descend, the vegetation density are rise up. , The growth cities in Indonesia keep going in past ten years.
