The effects of climate change, urbanization, and poor land-use planning can lead to increased environmental temperatures, particularly in urban areas. Urbanization and massive development are also occurring in Bandung, which has become the third most densely populated area after Jakarta and Surabaya. This has resulted in a shortage of Green Open Space (RTH) in Bandung. This study found that the area of Green Open Space does not meet the minimum standard set by WHO, which is 9 m² per capita. The average area of RTH in Bandung is still around 8.23 m² per capita during the period 2012-2022. The average Land Surface Temperature (LST) was extracted from Landsat MODIS (MOD11A2) Version 6.1. The average Land Surface Temperature, used as a parameter for analyzing Urban Heat Island (UHI), increased by 2.51°C over the period 2003-2023 (from 37.38°C in 2003 to 39.89°C in 2023). Urbanization in Bandung was further analyzed using the Drivers- Pressures-State-Impact-Responses (DPSIR) method to identify natural ecosystem solutions to improve the quality of Green Open Space and prevent the intensification of Urban Heat Island in Bandung. The DPSIR analysis results indicate the need for inclusive land management, particularly of green-blue space, through the implementation of the Indonesian Green-Blue Index (IGBI).
