The results of this study indicate that Ibuh and Pandansari markets have a good environmental management especially on the reduction of waste generation because an optimal the operational of compost house and waste bank. In terms of environmental planning, the manager of Pandansari Market does not have the commitment to provide green open space and the UHI forming factors will increase where the market is surrounded by mixed buildings. At the same time, Ibuh Market has sufficient green open space and can reduce the UHI phenomenon.
