Daftar Isi:
- Assessment of environmental quality is generally performed on each component of the environment without linking between these components. Mixed Environmental Quality Index Methods was developed to assess the environmental quality by combining physical and social parameters into a single index value that identifies the quality of the residential environment in District of Kraton, Yogyakarta. This study aims to (1) describe the characteristics of air quality, water quality, availability of green open spaces, and public perception of the environment and (2) to calculate and analyze environmental index value in each block of settlements in the District of Kraton. The data used are primary data that is collected by field measurements and laboratory tests, such as measurement of water quality, air quality, and public perception interviews (60 respondents), and secondary data from the availability of green space obtained by using Quickbird imagery 2011. Each component are then calculated by using the calculation method of the Water Quality Index, Air Quality Index, Green Open Space Index, and Environmental Public Perception Index, which is further processed into a Mixed Environmental Quality Index. The results showed that the air quality in the study area classified as good, because the concentration of SO2 and NO2 in the air are below the threshold, so the value of Air Quality Index was quite good. The results for water quality showedconcentrations of contaminants in some points, such as nitrates, detergent, and E. coli were above the threshold, so the Water Quality Index value at some points relatively poor. Other components, such as the availability of green space and public perception showed that in every block in the study area, only 5 blocks of settlements that have a green open space with an area + 30% of the total area and most of the people in each settlement blocks have the knowledge and attitudes in supporting the environment. As the results, the MEQI calculation of residential environment in Kraton district indicates that environmental quality tends to be poor, primarily as a result of settlement density that high enough, seen from the distance between residential buildings which mostly are less than 1 meter.
