Anthropogenic activities of urban growth and development in the area of Jakarta has caused increasingly uncomfortable climatic conditions and tended to be warmer and potentially cause the urban heat island (UHI). This phenomenon can be monitored by observing the air temperature measured by climatological station, but the scope is relatively limited. Therefore, the utilization of remote sensing data is very important in monitoring the UHI with wider coverage and effective. In addition, the remote sensing data can also be used to map the pattern of changes in environmental conditions (microclimate). This study aimed to analyze the effect of changes in environmental conditions (land use/cover, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Build-up Index (NDBI)) toward the spread of the urban heat island (UHI). In this case, the UHI was identified from pattern changes of Land Surface Temperature (LST) in Jakarta based on data from remote sensing. The data used was Landsat 7 in 2007 and Landsat 8 in 2013 for parameter extraction environmental conditions, namely: land use cover, NDVI, NDBI, and LST. The analysis showed that during the period 2007 to 2013, there has been a change in the condition of the land use/cover, impairment NDVI, and expansion NDBI that trigger an increase in LST and the formation of heat islands in Jakarta, especially in the area of business centers, main street and surrounding area, as well as in residential areas.

In this study, 167 land parcels of downtown Shanghai, China, were used to investigate the relationship between parcel-level land use/land cover (LULC) components and associated summertime intra-surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect, and further analyze the potential of mitigating summertime intra-SUHI effect through the optimized LULC components, by integrating a thermal sharpening method combining the Landsat-8 thermal band 10 data and high-resolution Quickbird image, statistical analysis, and nonlinear programming with constraints. The results show the remarkable variations in intra-surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect, which was measured with the mean parcel-level blackbody sensible heat flux in kW per ha (Mean_pc_BBF). Through measuring the relative importance of each specific predictor in terms of their contributions to changing Mean_pc_BBF, the influence of parcel-level LULC components on excess surface flux of heat energy to the atmosphere was estimated using the partial least square regression (PLSR) model. Analysis of the present and optimized parcel-level LULC components and their contribution to the associated Mean_pc_BBF were comparable between land parcels with varying sizes. Furthermore, focusing on the gap between the present and ideally optimized area proportions of parcel-level LULC components towards minimizing the Mean_pc_BBF, the uncertainties arising from the datasets and methods, as well as the implications for sustainable land development and mitigating the UHI effect were discussed.

Urban Heat Island (UHI) has been becoming a key factor in deteriorating the urban ecological environment. Spatial-temporal analysis on its prototype of basin city’s UHI and quantitatively evaluating effect from rapid urbanization will provide theoretical foundation for relieving UHI effect. Based on Landsat 8, ETM+ and TM images of Taipei basin areas from 1900 to 2015, this article has retrieved the land surface temperature (LST) at summer solstice of each year, and then analysed spatial-temporal pattern and evolution characters of UHI in Taipei basin in this decade. The results showed that the expansion built district, UHI area constantly expanded from centre city to the suburb areas. The prototype of UHI in Taipei basin that showed in addition to higher temperatures in the centre city also were relatively high temperatures gathered boundaries surrounded by foot of mountains side. It calls “sinking heat island”. From 1900 to 2000, the higher UHI areas were different land use type change had obvious difference by public infrastructure works. And then, in next 15 years till 2015, building density of urban area has been increasing gradually. It has the trend that UHI flooding raises follow urban land use density. Hot spot of UHI in Taipei basin also has the same characteristics. The results suggest that anthropogenic heat release probably plays a significant role in the UHI effect, and must be considered in urban planning adaptation strategies.

<p>Urbanization results in the increase of impervious surfaces build of materials with high heat capacity and low albedo. Therefore, urban areas heat up more than the surroundings, leading to the development of the urban heat island (UHI). The UHI intensifies the effect of global warming by increased intensity and frequency of heatwaves in the city. In summer, the UHI is considered a phenomenon hazardous for the life and health of city inhabitants. The problem of UHI has not been studied in the Górnośląska-Zagłębiowska Metropolis (GZM), which is the most populated area in Poland. This study aims to determine the spatial structure and intensity of the surface urban heat island (SUHI) in GZM and identify the areas exposed to the most intense heat island. The relationship between the type of land use and the SUHI occurrence was also studied. Four LANDSAT 8 images were converted to the form of land surface temperature (LST). Based on the mean and standard deviation of the LST the extent of the overall SUHI was determined without considering the type of land use. Based on the same method, three classes of SUHI intensity (standard, strong and extreme) were defined and distinguished within anthropogenic areas determined based on the Corine Land Cover 2018 classification of land use. The intensity of SUHI was defined as a difference between urban and non-urban areas. The relationships between various types of land use and LST were also examined. In GZM, SUHI has a structure of 'archipelago' rather than an 'island'. In each image, the highest LSTs were identified for industrial areas represented by Katowice Smeltery. The standard SUHI, defined as average LST +1 standard deviation (only within an anthropogenic area) accounted for 12.7% to 14.4% of the GZM area in individual years, which indicates a small temporal variability of its extent. The extreme SUHI was identified mainly for shopping and logistic centers, industrial facilities, or coal dumps. The intensity of SUHI ranged from 5 to 9 °C depending on the image and method of urban and non-urban areas delineating. The highest average LST was characteristic of the discontinuous urban fabric and industrial or commercial units. Water and forest areas had the lowest average LST. The discontinuous urban fabric and industrial or commercial units constituted more than 70% of the overall SUHI area.</p>

Kota Mataram adalahpusat dan ibukota dari provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat yang tentunya menjadi pusat semua aktivitas masyarakat disekitar daerah tersebut sehingga menyebabkan peningkatan urbanisasi. Semakin meningkatnya peningkatan urbanisasi yan terjadi di perkotaan akan menyebabkan perubahan penutup lahan, dari awalnya daerah bervegetasi berubah menjadi lahan terbangun. Oleh karena itu, akan memicu peningkatan suhu dan menyebabkan adanya fenomena UHI dikota Mataram.Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan kerapatan vegetasi dengan kondisi suhu permukaan yang ada diwilayah penelitian dan memetakan fenomena UHI di Kota Mataram. Citra Landsat 8 OLI tahun 2018 yang digunakan terlebih dahulu dikoreksi radiometrik dan geometrik. Metode untuk memperoleh data kerapatan vegetasi menggunakan transformasi NDVI, LST menggunakan metode Split Window Algorithm (SWA) dan identifikasi fenomena urban heat island. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh menunjukkan kerapatan vegetasi mempunyai korelasi dengan nilai LST. Hasil korelasi dari analisis pearson yang didapatkan antara kerapatan vegetasi terhadap suhu permukaan menghasilkan nilai -0,744. Fenomena UHIterjadi di pusat Kota Mataram dapat dilihat dengan adanya nilai UHI yaitu 0-100C. Semakin besar nilai UHI, semakin tinggi perbedaan LSTnya.

Abstract. Urban Heat Island (UHI) refers to the development of higher urban temperatures of an urban area compared to the temperatures of surrounding suburban and rural areas. Highly reflective urban materials to solar radiation present a significantly lower surface temperature and contribute to reducing the sensible heat released in the atmosphere and mitigating the urban heat island. Many studies of the UHI effect have been based on Land Surface Temperature (LST) measurements from remote sensors. The remotely sensed UHI has been termed the surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect. This study examines Tabriz city land use/land cover (LULC) and LST changes using Landsat satellite images between 2000 and 2017. Maximum likelihood classification and single channel methods were used for LULC classification and LST retrieval respectively. Results show that impervious surface has increased 13.79% and bare soil area has decreased 16.2%. The results also revealed bare soil class LST after a constant trend become increasing. It also revealed the impervious surface LST has a decreasing trend between 2000 and 2011 and has a little change. Using materials that have low absorption and high reflectance decrease the effect of heat island considerably.
