The cooling effect of blue-green space has been recognized as a promising approach to
mitigate the urban heat island (UHI), while the quantitative role (threshold-size for cooling) is …

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 …

Land use practices in urban areas exert a profound influence on the urban thermal
environment and the pursuit of sustainable development. This paper aims to investigate and …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect is intensifying with increasing urbanization. As an
important representation of the UHI effect and the urban thermal environment, it is critical to …

The urban thermal environment undergoes significant influences from changes in land
use/land cover (LULC). This article uses CA-ANN and ANN algorithms to forecast LULC and …

Land use pattern can substantially shape urban thermal environment. Although previous
studies have shown that urban heat island (UHI) intensity will be easily affected by the …

Spatial pattern of built-up areas can exert an important influence on surface urban heat
islands (SUHIs). While previous studies relied heavily on landscape indicators to …

Urban landscapes significantly affect land surface temperature (LST) and are considered
crucial factors affecting urban heat island (UHI). The impacts of urban landscapes on LST …

In recent years, with economic development, urbanization has been accelerating. In the past
100 years, the global average temperature has increased by 0.5° C, and according to the …

The increasing urban heat island intensity (UHII) is a matter of concern for the sustainable
urban planning and maintaining urban thermal comfort in the metropolitan cities of …
