Abstract


Thermal comfort is an important factor in the development of the Malioboro Area, as part of the The Cosmological Axis of Yogyakarta and Its Historic Landmarks, which has been designated as a world cultural heritage. This area is planned to become a pedestrian zone, supporting the city’s sustainability in addressing microclimate issues. This study aims to address thermal comfort issues on Malioboro Street by utilizing microclimate indicators and developing strategies for a sustainable environment. Using a qualitative SWOT analysis and quantitative ENVI-met software simulations, the study examines factors like air temperature, surface temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and CO2 emissions in December 2023. Results show air temperatures in Segment 2 (from the south side of Grand Inna Malioboro to the south side of the The Regional Parliament Building of Yogyakarta) range from 31.44°C to 31.81°C, with surface temperatures between 38.62°C and 40.73°C, presenting significant thermal discomfort. Recommendations include optimizing green spaces, using light and porous materials, maintaining shade-providing vegetation, and planning building geometry to support air circulation. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating physical elements in urban planning to improve thermal comfort, enhance Malioboro’s cultural and tourism appeal, and make it a sustainable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing public space.
