Urbanization causes increased changes in land cover, increased vehicle amount, increased use of electricity and water, and increased waste amount. These factors will affect the heating of the city's surface temperature. Bekasi City is a satellite city of the Capital City of DKI Jakarta Jakarta is transforming into a residential area for urbanites. Therefore, this study aims to identify household participation in Bekasi City in mitigating and adapting to the urban heat island phenomenon and its relationship to socio-economic factors that influence it.
