This paper analyzes the effects of urban density, vegetation cover, and water body on thermal islands measured by land surface temperature in Al Anbar province, Iraq using multi-temporal Landsat images. Images from Landsat 7 ETM and Landsat 8 OLI for the years 2000, 2014, and 2018 were collected, pre-processed, and anal yzed. The results suggested that the strongest correlation was found between the Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) and the surface temperature. The correlation between the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the surface temperature was slightly weaker compared to that of NDBI. However, the weakest correlation was found between the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and the temperature. The results obtained in this research may help the decision makers to take actions to reduce the effects of thermal islands by looking at the details in the produced maps and the analyzed values of these spectral indices.

Abstract. Urbanization can be observed through the occurrence of land-use changes as more land is being transformed and developed for urban use. One of the Philippine cities with high rate of urbanization is Baguio City, known for having a subtropical highland climate. To understand the spatiotemporal relationship between urbanization and temperature, this study aims to analyze the correlation of urban extent with land surface and air temperature in Baguio City using satellite-based built-up extents, land surface temperature (LST) maps, and weather station-recorded air temperature data. Built-up extent layers were derived from three satellite images: Landsat, RapidEye and PlanetScope. Land-use land cover (LULC) maps were generated from Landsat images using biophysical indices such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI); while RapidEye and PlanetScope built-up extent maps were generated by applying the visible green-based built-up index (VgNIR-BI). Mean LST values from 1988 to 2018 during the dry and wet seasons were calculated from the Landsat-retrieved surface temperature layers. The result of the study shows that the increase in the built-up extent significantly intensified the LST during the dry season which was observed in all satellite data-derived built-up maps: RapidEye+PlanetScope (2012–2018; r = 0.88), Landsat 8 (2012–2018; r = 0.63) and Landsat 5,7,8 (1988–2018; r = 0.61). The main LST hotspots were detected inside the Central Business District where it expanded gradually from year 1998 (43 ha) to 2011 (83 ha), but have increased extensively within the years 2014 to 2019 (305 ha). On average, 98.5% of the hotspots detected from 1995 to 2019 are within the equivalent built-up area.

This study investigated how changes in land surface temperature (LST) during 2004 and 2014 were attributable to zoning-based land use type in Seoul in association with the building coverage ratio (BCR), floor area ratio (FAR), and a normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). We retrieved LSTs and NDVI data from satellite images, Landsat TM 5 for 2004 and Landsat 8 TIRS for 2014 and combined them with parcel-based land use information, which contained data on BCR, FAR, and zoning-based land use type. The descriptive analysis results showed a rise in LST for the low- and medium-density residential land, whereas significant LST decreases were found in high-density residential, semi-residential, and commercial areas over the time period. Statistical results further supported these findings, yielding statistically significant negative coefficient values for all interaction variables between higher-density land use types and a year-based dummy variable. The findings appear to be related to residential densification involving the provision of more high-rise apartment complexes and government efforts to secure more parks and green spaces through urban redevelopment and renewal projects.

Abstract The rapid increase in urbanization has an important effect on cropping pattern and land use/land cover (LULC) through replacing areas of vegetation with commercial and residential coverage, thereby increasing the land surface temperature (LST). The LST information is significant to understand the environmental changes, urban climatology, anthropogenic activities, and ecological interactions, etc. Using remote sensing (RS) data, the present research provides a comprehensive study of LULC and LST changes in water scarce and climate prone Southern Punjab (Multan region), Pakistan, for 30 years (from 1990 to 2020). For this research, Landsat images were processed through supervised classification with maps of the Multan region. The LULC changes showed that sugarcane and rice (decreased by 2.9 and 1.6%, respectively) had less volatility of variation in comparison with both wheat and cotton (decreased by 5.3 and 6.6%, respectively). The analysis of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) showed that the vegetation decreased in the region both in minimum value (−0.05 [1990] to −0.15 [2020]) and maximum value (0.6 [1990] to 0.54 [2020]). The results showed that the built-up area was increased 3.5% during 1990–2020, and these were some of the major changes which increased the LST (from 27.6 to 28.5°C) in the study area. The significant regression in our study clearly shows that NDVI and LST are negatively correlated with each other. The results suggested that increasing temperature in growing period had a greatest effect on all types of vegetation. Crop-based classification aids water policy managers and analysts to make a better policy with enhanced information based on the extent of the natural resources. So, the study of dynamics in major crops and surface temperature through satellite RS can play an important role in the rural development and planning for food security in the study area.

The objective of the study is to assess changes of fractional vegetation cover (FVC) in Hanoi megacity in period of 33 years from 1986 to 2016 based on a two endmember spectral mixture analysis (SMA) model using multi-spectral and multi-temporal Landsat-5 TM and -8 OLI images. Landsat TM/OLI images were first radiometrically corrected. FVC was then estimated by means of a combination of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and classification method. The estimated FVC results were validated using the field survey data. The assessment of FVC changes was finally carried out using spatial analysis in GIS. A case study from Hanoi city shows that: (i) the proposed approach performed well in estimating the FVC retrieved from the Landsat-8 OLI data and had good consistency with in situ measurements with the statistically achieved root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.02 (R 2 =0.935); (ii) total FVC area of 321.6 km 2 (accounting for 9.61% of the total area) was slightly reduced in the center of the city, whereas, FVC increased markedly with an area of 1163.6 km 2 (accounting for 34.78% of the total area) in suburban and rural areas. The results from this study demonstrate the combination of NDVI and classification method using Landsat images are promising for assessing FVC change in megacities.

This research assessed the micro-level Land Surface Temperature (LST) dynamics in response to Land Cover Type Transformation (LCTT) at Khulna City Corporation Ward No 9, 14, 16 from 2001 to 2019, through raster-based analysis in geo-spatial environment. Satellite images (Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 8 OLI) were utilized to analyze the LCTT and its influences on LST change. Different indices like Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Buildup Index (NDBI) were adopted to show the relationship against the LST dynamics individually. Most likelihood supervised image classification and land cover change direction analysis shows that about 27.17%, 17.83% and 4.73% buildup area has increased at Ward No 9, 14, 16 correspondingly. On the other hand, the distribution of change in average LST shows that water, vacant land, and buildup area recorded the highest increase in temperature by 2.720C, 4.150C, 4.590C, respectively. The result shows the average LST increased from 25.800C to 27.150C in Ward No 9, 26.840C to 27.230C in Ward No 14 and 26.870C to 27.120C in Ward No 16. Here, the most responsible factor is the transformation of land cover in buildup areas.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate multi-temporal land surface temperature (LST) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) changes of Konya in Turkey using remotely sensed data. Konya is located in the semi-arid central Anatolian region of Turkey and hosts many important wetland sites including Salt Lake. Six images taken by Landsat-5 TM and Landsat 8- OLI satellites were used as the basic data source. These raw images were taken in 1984, 2011 and 2014 intended as long-term and short-term. Firstly, those raw images was corrected radiometric and geometrically within the scope of project. Three mosaic images were obtained by using the full-frame images of Landsat-5 TM / 8- OLI which had been already transformed comparison each other. Then, Land Surface Temperature (LST), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) maps have been produced to determine the dimension of the drought. The obtained results showed that surface temperature rates in the basin increased about 5°C between 1984 and 2014 as long periods, increased about 2-3°C between 2011and 2014 as short periods. Meteorological data supports the increase in temperature.
