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.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The temperature rise in urban areas has become a major environmental concern. Hence, the study of Land surface temperature (LST) in urban areas is important to understand the behaviour of different land covers on temperature. Relation of LST with different indices is required to study LST in urban areas using satellite data. The present study focuses on the relation of LST with the selected indices based on different land cover using Landsat 8 OLI (Operational Land Imager) and TIRS (Thermal Infrared Sensor) data in Varanasi, India. A regression analysis was done between LST and Normalized Difference Vegetation index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Soil Index (NDSI), Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI). The non-linear relations of LST with NDVI and NDWI were observed, whereas NDBI and NDSI were found to show positive linear relation with LST. The correlation of LST with NDSI was found better than NDBI. Further analysis was done by choosing 25 pure pixels from each land cover of water, vegetation, bare soil and urban areas to determine the behaviour of indices on LST for each land cover. The investigation shows that NDSI and NDBI can be effectively used for study of LST in urban areas. However, NDBI can explain urban LST in the better way for the regions without water body.</p>

The goal of this study is to examine the effects of Rohingya Influx specially on vegetation land cover and LST in Teknaf Peninsula, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh over time. For doing so, the research followed three steps. Firstly, the primary and secondary data were collected from prescribed sources like LANDSAT 8 images from Earth Explorer (USGS) and the Shapefiles were collected from secondary sources. Then, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) functions are explored in geospatial environment to assess the effect of deforestation on the region. Finally, A correlation is shown between LST and NDVI for making a decision from the environmental perspective. The findings state that, the region around the Rohingya Camps progressively lost its vegetation density as a result of increasing deforestation. According to this analysis, there was 87.87 % vegetation cover in 2013, which gradually decreased before the Rohingya Invasion in 2017. After the incident in 2018, vegetation cover drops to 75.67 %. Similarly, area with no vegetation increased more rapidly than others. The outcome showed that the transition in land cover was quicker and more noticeable in recent time. As a result, the LST has been increasing over the years. According to the study, there were around 8.71 % of areas with high temperatures in 2013, which increased to 36.86 % in 2020. It indicates that a large quantity of vegetation has been lost as a result of deforestation, and the LST of this region has changed dramatically. Furthermore, data was examined by Union to assess the individual effect from 5 Rohingya camps, and it was discovered that the situation in Teknaf Union is terrible, while the situation in Baharchhara Union is comparably better. Finally, the results of the research encourage an extensive regional environmental policy to eradicate this problem. To recompense the loss of nature govt. and responsible department should take necessary steps like hill conservation or tree plantation.

Urban developments in the cities of Bangladesh are causing the depletion of natural land covers over the past several decades. One of the significant implications of the developments is a change in Land Surface Temperature (LST). Through LST distribution in different Land Use Land Cover (LULC) and a statistical association among LST and biophysical indices, i.e., Urban Index (UI), Bare Soil Index (BI), Normalized Difference Builtup Index (NDBI), Normalized Difference Bareness Index (NDBaI), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI), this paper studied the implications of LULC change on the LST in Mymensingh city. Landsat TM and OLI/TIRS satellite images were used to study LULC through the maximum likelihood classification method and LSTs for 1989, 2004, and 2019. The accuracy of LULC classifications was 84.50, 89.50, and 91.00 for three sampling years, respectively. From 1989 to 2019, the area and average LST of the built-up category has been increased by 24.99% and 7.6ºC, respectively. Compared to vegetation and water bodies, built-up and barren soil regions have a greater LST each year. A different machine learning method was applied to simulate LULC and LST in 2034. A remarkable change in both LULC and LST was found through this simulation. If the current changing rate of LULC continues, the built-up area will be 59.42% of the total area, and LST will be 30.05ºC on average in 2034. The LST in 2034 will be more than 29ºC and 31ºC in 59.64% and 23.55% areas of the city, respectively.

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.

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.

ABSTRACTThe rapid population growth and development of infrastructure in the Bandung basin has triggered an uncontrolled land use changes. The changes of land use will impact on land surface temperature distribution. Finally, these changes will give influence on climate. Land surface temperature is one of the important climatic elements in the energy balance. Changes in land surface temperature variations will potentially change other elements of the climate. The purpose of this paper is to obtain and to analyze the changes of surface temperature distribution in Bandung basin using multi temporal satellite data processing that is Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 in 2004, 2009 and 2014. Near Infrared Channel (Near Infrared/NIR) and visible wave channels (Visible band) have used to obtain the value Normalized Difference Vegetation Index/NDVI index and Albedo. Land and vegetation emissivity value and thermal band have used to determine land surface temperature. The results showed that the surface temperature distribution of Bandung basin has been changes characterized by the presence of two hotspot characters i.e. hot areas in urban and hot areas in non-urban area. The area is characterized by decreasing vegetation index values, increasing albedo values and increasing on surface temperature.  Land Surface Temperatures average value increased by 1.3°C. Land surface temperature tends to rise supposed as a result of changes in vegetated area into open area and the build area  Keywords: land surface temperature, normalized difference vegetation index, albedoABSTRAKPesatnya pertumbuhan penduduk dan perkembangan infrastruktur di cekungan Bandung telah memicu perubahan tutupan lahan yang tidak terkendali. Perubahan tutupan lahan akan mempengaruhi distribusi suhu permukaan. Hal tersebut pada akhirnya nanti akan mempengaruhi iklim. Suhu permukaan merupakan salah satu unsur iklim yang penting dalam neraca energi. Perubahan variasi suhu permukaan berpotensi mengubah unsur unsur iklim yang lainnya. Tujuan makalah ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis perubahan distribusi suhu permukaan di cekungan Bandung melalui pengolahan data satelit multi waktu yaitu Landsat 5 dan Landsat 8 tahun 2004, 2009, 2014 dan 2016. Kanal Inframerah Dekat (Near Infrared/NIR) dan kanal gelombang tampak (Visible band) digunakan untuk memperoleh nilai Indeks Kehijauan Vegetasi (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index/NDVI) dan Albedo. Nilai emisivitas dari tanah dan vegetasi serta Band termal digunakan untuk menentukan nilai Suhu Permukaan Tanah.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa di cekungan Bandung telah terjadi perubahan distribusi suhu permukaan yang dicirikan oleh adanya dua karakter hotspot yaitu daerah panas di daerah urban dan daerah panas di daerah non-urban. Daerah tersebut dicirikan menurunnya nilai indeks vegetasi, menurunnya nilai albedo dan meningkatnya nilai suhu permukaan tanah. Nilai rataan Suhu Permukaan Tanah tahun 2005 - 2014 meningkat sebesar 1.3°C. Kecenderungan naik ini diduga sebagai akibat adanya perubahan tutupan lahan bervegetasi menjadi daerah yang lebih terbuka dan daerah terbangun.Kata kunci: suhu permukaan, indeks kehijauan vegetasi, albedo

AbstractDrought is the absence or below-required supply of precipitation, runoff and or moisture for an extended time period. Modelling drought is relevant in assessing drought incidence and pattern. This study aimed to model the spatial variation and incidence of the 2018 drought in Brandenburg using GIS and remote sensing. To achieve this, we employed a Multi-Criteria Approach (MCA) by using three parameters including Precipitation, Land Surface Temperature and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). We acquired the precipitation data from Deutsche Wetterdienst, Land Surface Temperature and NDVI from Landsat 8 imageries on the USGS Earth Explorer. The datasets were analyzed using ArcGIS 10.7. The information from these three datasets was used as parameters in assessing drought prevalence using the MCA. The MCA was used in developing the drought model, ‘PLAN’, which was used to classify the study area into three levels/zones of drought prevalence: moderate, high and extreme drought. We went further to quantify the agricultural areas affected by drought in the study area by integrating the land use map. Results revealed that 92% of the study area was severely and highly affected by drought especially in districts of Oberhavel, Uckermark, Potsdam-Staedte, and Teltow-Flaeming. Finding also revealed that 77.54% of the total agricultural land falls within the high drought zones. We advocated for the application of drought models (such as ‘PLAN’), that incorporates flexibility (tailoring to study needs) and multi-criteria (robustness) in drought assessment. We also suggested that adaptive drought management should be championed using drought prevalence mapping.

Kabupaten Bogor merupakan salah satu kabupaten yang saat ini pembangunannya cukup berkembang. Pada tahun 2016 jumlah penduduk di Kabupaten Bogor berjumlah 5.715.009 jiwa. Bertambahnya penduduk menyebabkan berkurangnya lahan dengan tutupan vegetasi menjadi daerah yang terbangun, dari bertambahnya lahan terbangun meyebabkan meningkatnya suhu di Kabupaten Bogor. Dengan pemanfaatan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) dapat diketahui peningkatan suhu akibat dari padatnya bangunan di Kabupaten Bogor. Melalui pengolahan Citra Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS C1 Level-1 dengan ukuran 30 x 30 m tahun 2018 digunakan metode Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) untuk mengetahui indeks kerapatan vegetasi, Normalized Difference Built Index (NDBI) untuk mengetahui kerapatan bangunan, dan metode Land Surface Temperature (LST) untuk mengetahui suhu permukaan di Kabupaten Bogor. Hasil yang didapatkan dari penelitian ini adalah semakin rapatnya bangunan maka suhu semakin tinggi dan sebaliknya, begitu juga dengan luas dari wilayah yang mengalami kenaikan suhu.
