The effects of global warming are shown by increasing temperatures in various regions, especially urban areas. Urbanization and urban development is one of the factors in increasing ground surface temperature (SPT). SPT is the main indicator of Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) effect. SUHI can be quantified into a standard value by utilizing the Urban Thermal Variance Index (UTFVI). The effect of SUHI in urban areas close to the coast is usually influenced by the aspects of elevation and distance from the sea. Through this research, the relationship between the aspects of elevation, distance from sea level, and the SUHI effect based on UTFVI values is then studied to see the relationship. The area studied in this research is the Makassar City area and the districts bordering the Makassar City administration. The relationship between these variables was analyzed by applying the global regression method, Ordinary Least Square (OLS). The UTFVI value variable in this study acts as the dependent variable, while the elevation and distance values act as independent variables. The results of the OLS analysis show that the distance and elevation variables have a simultaneous influence on the UTFVI variable with a regression coefficient of 70.98%. These two effects show a negative influence, where the greater the elevation and distance values, the lower the UTFVI value.
