Exploring How Street-Level Images Help Enhance Remote-Sensing-Based Local Climate Zone Mapping

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023
The local climate zone (LCZ) classification scheme is effective for climatic studies, and thus, timely and accurate LCZ mapping becomes critical for scientific climate research. Remote sensing images can efficiently capture the information of large-scale

Spatial Association Rules and Thermal Environment Differentiation Evaluation of Local Climate Zone and Urban Functional Zone

Land, 2023
Urban heat islands (UHIs) caused by urbanization have become a major issue affecting the sustainable development of the ecological environment. The distribution of UHIs is mainly affected by the reflection and transmission of heat radiation caused by ...

A Literature Survey of Local Climate Zone Classification: Status, Application, and Prospect

Buildings, 2022
Rapid urban expansion and climate change have prompted further investigations into urban thermal climates and the development of local climate zone (LCZ) classification systems. LCZs, proposed 10 years ago, comprise a new and systematic classification of

Local Climate Zone mapping using GIS methods in Szeged

Hungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2014
Owing to anthropogenic activity, local climate develops in the area of built-up zones. The characteristics of built-up zones can be quantified by different methods. One of the methods is the Local Climate Zones (LCZ) classification system which describes
