Urbanization and intense human activity have significantly changed the global urban
thermal environment (UTE). Spatiotemporal characteristics, driving factors, and future trends …

Urban heat islands (UHIs) exert a substantially negative impact on human health and urban
sustainability. The role of two-dimensional (2D) landscape patterns in UHIs are well …

The contributions of urban blue and green spaces on urban cooling are widely
acknowledged. However, the combined cooling effect of integrated blue and green space …

Numerous studies on reducing the urban heat island effect have concentrated on isolated
cold islands, analyzing their cooling impact in terms of size and shape. From an international …

New town developments aim to improve spatial layout and quality of human habitats in
metropolitan areas. However, due to high-density compact development and inadequate …

Many studies have proposed strategies to mitigate the urban heat island effect from the
perspective of landscape patches, yet few studies have mitigated the urban heat island …

Graph theory (GT) is extensively applied in the ecological network analysis. This review
study aimed to examine GT in the field of ecological network analysis based on the following …

Numerous studies have proposed cooling measures to mitigate surface urban heat island
(SUHI) effect from the perspective of landscape pattern. However, rare studies have …

There is a relationship between spectral indices, urban morphology, and spatial patterns
with land surface temperature (LST). In this paper, LST and spectral indices in Tehran have …

Green infrastructure network (GIN) optimization is an effective measure to reduce the
landscape fragmentation caused by rapid urbanization. However, there are few targeted and …
