The local climate zone (LCZ) system provides a universal classification mechanism for
urban and natural landscapes and plays an increasingly important role in urban climate …

The surface urban heat island (SUHI), which represents the difference of land surface
temperature (LST) in urban relativity to neighboring non-urban surfaces, is usually …

Urban heat islands (UHI) in a city tend to vary with changes in time and space. To effectively
cope with the accelerating intensity of UHI due to global warming and the resulting damage …

The global boom in urbanization and infrastructure, especially in developing countries, has
resulted in the urban heat island (UHI). This recent review analyzes the current development …

Performance-based planning (PBP) is designed to determine city planning standards based
on local activity characteristics; however, there have been few practical applications of this …

Assessment of surface urban heat islands (SUHI) has been hampered by the lack of a
consistent framework to permit consistent interpretation between cities. Local Climate Zones …

The concept of local climate zones (LCZ) has emerged to identify the nature of urban
climate, air quality, and temperature at local levels. Thus, this study reviews the literature on …

Summer increasingly gets hotter, which has become a common problem that threats human
settlement environment and hinders urban sustainable development. The impacts of urban …

The acceleration of urbanization has caused the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon
because it has changed the built and natural structure. In recent years, the common concept …

The aim of the study is, therefore, to analyze the formation of the UHIs in eight different cities
in arid and semi-arid regions. The analysis is based on land cover (LC) classification (urban …
