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.

Abstract Makassar City, the capital of South Sulawesi Province, is the largest metropolitan city in the eastern part of Indonesia, with a population development rate of 1.19% in 2019. An increase in population impacts city development and results in land use and land cover changes. Changes in land use and land cover pattern bring impact to Land Surface Temperature (LST). This study examines land cover’s influence on land surface temperature in Makassar City using multi-temporal satellite data. Land cover and LST data were extracted using Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 over the period of 1999, 2009, and 2019. The result shows that the highest increase in land cover changed was a built-up area of 13.1%, and vegetation decreased by 8.6%. The change in average LST value in the last 20 years was 0.39°C with the highest LST distribution areas was in 30-32°C and 32-34°C classes. The result of LST analysis in 2019 shows that the Urban Heat Island phenomenon has occurred in Makassar in the downtown area and several areas with the densely built-up area. With an overview of the UHI phenomenon in Makassar, the government is expected to raise public awareness of this phenomenon so that preventive actions can be taken, so the effects of UHI do not spread more widely.

Rapid urbanization and associated land-use changes in cities cause an increase in the demand for electricity by altering the local climate. The present study aims to examine the variations in total energy and cooling energy demand in a calibrated building energy model, caused by urban heat island formation over Delhi. The study used Sentinel-2A multispectral imagery for land use and land cover (LULC) of mapping of Delhi, and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) imagery for land surface temperature (LST) mapping during March 2018. It was observed that regions with dense built-up areas (i.e., with built-up area greater than 90%) had a higher annual land surface temperature (LST), i.e., 293.5 K and urban heat island intensity (UHII) ranging from 0.9 K–5.9 K. In contrast, lower annual values of LST (290K) and UHII (0.0–0.4 K) were observed in regions with high vegetation cover (53%). Statistical analysis reveals that a negative correlation exists between vegetation and nighttime LST, which is further confirmed by linear regression analysis. Energy simulations were performed on a calibrated building model placed at three different sites, identified on the basis of land use and land cover percentage and annual LST. Simulation results showed that the site located in the central part of Delhi displayed higher annual energy consumption (255.21 MWh/y) compared to the site located in the rural periphery (235.69 MWh/y). For all the three sites, the maximum electricity consumption was observed in the summer season, while the minimum was seen in the winter season. The study indicates that UHI formation leads to increased energy consumption in buildings, and thus UHI mitigation measures hold great potential for energy saving in a large city like Delhi.

Urban heat island (UHI) effect is considered to be one of the key indicators of the impacts of urbanization and the climate changes on the environment. Thus, the growing interest in studying the impacts of urbanization on changes in land surface temperature (LST). The literature on LST indicates the need for more studies on the relationship between changes in LST and land use types, especially in the arid environment. This paper examines the spatial and temporal changes in land surface temperature influenced by land use/land cover types in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Multi-temporal Landsat images of the study area, 1985, 1995, 2002 and 2015, were processed to derive land surface temperatures. UHI index was computed for the different land use/land cover types (high-density residential, medium-density residential, low-density residential, industrial, vegetation, and desert) in the study area. The results indicate a trend of rising temperatures in all the land use types in the study area. This is probably due to climate change. The industrial area has the highest temperatures among the land use types. The lowest temperatures are found in the vegetation area as expected. There is a need to implement mitigating measures to reduce the effects of rising temperatures in the study area.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Land surface temperature (LST) has received a significant attention for urban health and sustainable development. In recent years, with the rapid urbanization and industrialization, urban heat island phenomenon has prevailed in many cities in developed countries and caused excessive energy consumption, and climatic and environmental deterioration. It is expected that to optimize the composition of land use/cover distribution can reduce the urban heat island phenomenon. Therefore, monitoring the spatial changes and analysing its effects on land surface temperature are crucial for maintaining the healthy urban development in the near future.</p><p>Based on the above background, this study tried to geographically examine the relationship between the LST and land use/cover changes in Sapporo which is the fifth largest city and a gateway city on the northern island in Japan. We investigated the LST in each land use/cover category from 1985 to 2015 by using Landsat data. The results show that: (1)the land use/cover types and spatial distribution have a great influence on the formation of the LST; (2) the expansion of built-up area is the most significant factor affecting urban heat island during the past 30 years; and (3) the green space and water area help cool the urbanized area. By revealing a spatial relationship between the land use/cover distribution and the LST, this analysis could open an avenue to scientific research on future LST simulation and scenario based on land use/cover changes.</p><p>Our research goal does not only contribute to the urban health and sustainable development but also provide an important insight into the consequence of the strong city competence.</p>

Abstract Due to marine and terrestrial processes, the land use/land cover features of the Ramanathapuram coastal area noticed dynamic changes. Sometimes the anthropogenic activities and nature also governed such changes. Landuse/Landcover analysis is an essential parameter for the climate change studies in coastal region. Similarly, the analysis of land surface temperature (LST) and the severity of Urban heat island (UHI) also factored for assessing its influence on climate changes. In this study, Remote sensed Landsat satellite data from 2000 to 2020 is very well used to identify the relation between LULC and LST. Advance tools in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) softwares is used to integrate the results. The findings strongly indicate that the built-up area is increasing every year. In the year 2000, the build-ups are noted with 8km2, and it was increased to 44 km2 in 2020. In addition, the LST of the year 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020 radiates a maximum temperature of about 30oC, 29oC, 30oC, 30oC, and 27oC, respectively. The highest radiance temperature is observed in barren land; the UHI analysis also points towards increased urban activities. The temperature is comparatively high in an urbanised area, and its UHI values range from very Strong to moderate heat island.
