Abstract

Based on a number of indicators and calculations, various parties stated that motorized vehicles and industrial activities affect air quality in DKI Jakarta Province. The implementation of activities at home and large-scale physical distancing has more or less affected air quality in DKI Jakarta Province. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of large-scale in improving air quality in DKI Jakarta Province. The research method used is a combination of literature review and secondary data analysis. Secondary data comes from the official website of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's Integrated Data Portal. The data analyzed in the form of air pollutant standard index from five parameters of air pollution sources, namely PM10, SO2, CO, O3 and NO2. The results showed that large-scale physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic in DKI Jakarta Province could reduce the CO and NO2 index by 47.34% and 45.68%, respectively, while the PM10, SO2 and O3 parameters did not show any differences between before or during PSBB. The conclusion is that large-scale physical distancing in DKI Jakarta Province were effective in having a good effect on air quality, although not all parameters show a significant difference.
