Abstract
This research was located on the coast of the fishing settlement of South Karama Hamlet, covering an area of 3.14 ha at coordinates of 119o23'0”E-119o23'5”E and 5o13'35”S-5o13'40”S, the climate is tropical, humid, hot, and during the day residents feel uncomfortable when resting or doing activities. This research aims to develop innovative methods of Determining fishermen's houses' thermal comfort using survey methods, questionnaires, observations, thermal measuring instruments, Hobo data loggers, solar power meters, and photo cameras. The analysis technique uses an expert system, certainty factors with 40 factors and 160 criteria, a 10 m x 10 m grid-based map, and geographic information system-based spatial analysis. The research results show that this determining thermal comfort method is innovative, significant, and accurate after being validated by thermal measuring instruments. A total of 38 fishermen's houses (52.05%) with thermal comfort potential value of 125-225 have less comfortable thermal comfort (25.8°C-27.1°C), specifically having a temperature of 25.84°C-26.98°C, relative air humidity of 89.95%-84.75%, with THI temperature outside the house at 25.31°C-26.15°C. A total of 35 fishermen's houses (47.95%) have a potential thermal comfort value 27.1°C), a temperature of 27.25°C-34.70°C, relative air humidity of 84.87%-67.36% and THI of 26.42°C-32.43°C occurring during the day between 11:00 am - 14:00 pm (GMT+08:00). No fishermen's houses had potential value of thermal comfort 226-325 which has comfortable thermal comfort (22.8°C-25.8°C). No fishermen's houses had a potential thermal comfort value >325 with thermal comfort more comfortable (20.5°C-22.8°C).
