Abstract The presence of geothermal energy resource subsurface associated with active volcano, and indicated
on the surface by the appearance of geothermal manifestation. This might to identify the geothermal potentials  based  on  surface  temperature  distribution  recorded  on  the  thermal  remote  sensing  image.
This  research  describes  the  surface  temperature  distribution  surroundings  of  Mahawu  volcano, temporal  analysis  to  delineate  of  thermal  zone  and  its  laterally  change  with  use  thermal  infrared
channel  of  Landsat  remote  sensing  image.  This  research  use  temporal  analysis  of  thermal  infrared remote sensing data of Landsat 7 ETM

1. Introduction
The  use  of  satellite  remote  sensing  data  in  the  field  of  earth  has  been  widely  applied  in developed countries for the purposes of geological mapping, mineral exploration and energy,
natural  disasters  and  so  forth  use  in  the  field  of  Earth  is  basically  recognize  and  map  the object  and  parameters  of  terrestrial  specific,  interpret  the  process  of  establishing  and
interpreting relation to other aspects. To do the above two methods are commonly performed by the method of visualmanual that recognize specific objects and geological phenomena that
can be seen in  the image such as different  types of rock, bedding  plane,  and fault structure. The  second  way  is  done  through  the  automatic  extraction  of  objects  using  certain  ways  and
formulas by using existing software  digital processing. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages so that a combination of both would be more effective and optimal.
Recording an object in the remote sensing is done by using electromagnetic energy that will interact with every appearance that there is on the surface of the earth Lillesand et al., 2004.
Each appearance has spectral characteristics and spectral response specific to interact with the electromagnetic force that will give a certain appearance as well on remote sensing imagery.
This research describes the surface temperature distribution surroundings of Mahawu volcano Figure 1, temporal analysis to delineate of thermal zone and its laterally change with the use
of thermal infrared channel of Landsat remote sensing image.
2. Materials and Methods
Geothermal  systems  occur  in  regions  of  anomalously  high  crustal  heat  flow  that  may  be related  to  the  presence  of  young  bodies  or  hot  igneous  rocks  located  deeper  in  the  crust.
Remote  sensing  can  contribute  to  geothermal  studies  and  exploration  by  detecting  surface thermal anomalies by the use of thermal infrared TIR  imagery. TIR remote sensing of data
can  be  used  to  map  and  quantify  surface  temperature  anomalies  associated  with  geothermal features such as hot springs, geysers, fumaroles, and heated.

Figure 1. Location of Research
The main character image in remote sensing is the channel range electromagnetic wavelength Table 1. Some of radiation that can be detected by  remote sensing system  is  like the solar
radiation that can be detected through the medium of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic wavelength  region  from  the  visible  and  near  infrared  or  until  the  middle  of  the  spatial
distribution  of  thermal  energy  is  reflected  from  the  surface  of  the  earth.  Thermal  infrared imagery, the images created by the thermal infrared spectrum. Atmospheric window used is a
channel  with  wavelength  3.5  to  5.5  μm,  8-14  μm  and  about  18  μm.  Sensing  in  this spectrum  based  on  temperature  differences  of  objects  and  his  girlfriend  were  in  the  image
reflected by different hue or color differences.
The  research  method  was  Carried  out  by  using  thermal  infrared  remote  sensing  of  data  of Landsat  ETM+  were  recorded  in  2010,  2011,  and  2014.  Landsat  ETM  +  consists  of  several
spectral channels, and one of them is a thermal infrared channel see point 6 in Table 1.

Geologic prospecting
Data processing begins with the pre-processing of data in the form of radiometric correction and  geometric  correction.  Digital  conversion  value  of  the  spectral  data  in  the  image  into
spectral  reflectance  value,  consisting  of  radiometric  conversion  and  conversion  of  the reflected appearance. Conversion radiometric aims to calibrate the sensor so that there will be
a  linear  relationship  between  the  number  of  spectral  radiance  brightness  value.  This

In addition to recording the reflections, remote sensing record the energy of the earths surface on a thermal channel 3μm - 15μm to collect, display and interpret the thermal elements of
the  earths  surface  Calvin  et  al.,  2007.Basically  thermal  energy  emitted  by  the  Earths surface,  is  not  reflected  by  the  earths  surface.To  estimate  the  surface  temperature  of  the
thermal data, digital image pixel values must first convert to radians using sensor calibration data  Bujung,  et  al.,  2011.  Figure  2  shows  a  flow  diagram  of  extraction  temperature  of  the
thermal channels Landsat image.
