Determination of LULC (land use/land cover) changes in urban planning studies is very
important. However, LST (land surface temperature) and UHI (urban heat island) directly …

Accurate estimation of the microenvironment and radiative susceptibility, as well as
forecasting of climate and weather scenarios in urban contexts, are critical for achieving …

Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) and Urban Cool Islands (UCIs) can be measured by means of in
situ measurements and interpolation methods, which often require densely distributed …

Constant urban population growth and intensive urbanization lead to increased pressure on
urban areas leading to uncomfortable living conditions. The quality of urban living conditions …

It is imperative to quantitatively analyze the long-term temporal and spatial characteristics of
the urban heat island (UHI) effect on cities for applications, such as urban expansion and …

Abstract The Barcelona Metropolitan Area (BMA) is located in Catalonia, northeastern
Spain. With a population of over 3 billion people, the BMA is one of the most populous …

An increasing plethora of both meteorological and ancillary data are presently available for
climate research and applications in urban areas. The data are often held by local or …

Urban heat islands (UHIs) are one of the urban management challenges, especially in
metropolises, which can affect citizens' health and well-being. This study used a …

Mountainous regions are more sensitive to climatic condition changes and are susceptible
to recent increases in temperature. Due to urbanization and land use/land cover (LULC) …

Urban green space (UGS) provides critical ecosystem services and alleviates environmental
problems caused by rapid urbanization. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is …
