Microclimate of territory of Matera and the heat island effect
Energy Procedia, 2017 Abstract This work is focused on micro-climate analysis of the Matera town. We carried out several measurement campaigns of climate parameters in summer and winter season by measuring temperature and relative humidity. These analyses show that, in the historical center, the temperature values are greater than in areas with presence of vegetation. We

Effects of Urban Redevelopment on Surface Urban Heat Island
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023 Urban expansion and urban redevelopment can affect the surface urban heat island (SUHI) phenomenon, a major topic in the study of urban climates. The effects of urban expansion on SUHI have been studied by numerous researchers, while the effects of urban redevelopment remain unclear.
