After Large-Scale Social Restriction (PSBB) established in Jakarta, a change of air quality was indicated by the citizens. Representatives of Indonesia’s Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG) supported as the fact that mobility of Jakarta’s citizen and commuters were reduced. With utilizing Weather Data Acquisition System managed by BMKG, this research compared fluctuations of Jakarta’s air quality during two periods of time: Pre-PSBB and During-PSBB. This study proved that Jakarta’s air quality has positively improved compared to the previous year, although in the lower range of unhealthy level.
