Contribution of local climate zones to the thermal environment and energy demand
Frontiers in Public Health, 2022 Urban heat islands (UHIs) and their energy consumption are topics of widespread concern. This study used remote sensing images and building and meteorological data as parameters, with reference to Oke's local climate zone (LCZ), to divide urban areas according to the height and density of buildings and land cover types.

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

Application of training data affects success in broad-scale local climate zone mapping
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021 Satellite imagery has been widely used to map urbanization processes. To address the urgent need for urban landscape mapping that goes beyond urban footprint analysis, the local climate zone (LCZ) scheme has been increasingly used to reveal the urban ...

Uncertainty-Guided Representation Learning in Local Climate Zone Classification
IGARSS 2022 - 2022 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2022 A significant leap forward in the performance of remote sensing models can be attributed to recent advances in machine and deep learning. Large data sets particularly benefit from deep learning models, which often comprise millions of parameters. On which part of the data a machine learner focuses on during learning, however, remains an open research ...

lczexplore: an R package to explore Local Climate Zone classifications
Journal of Open Source Software, 2023 Climate change is a growing concern for city planners as Urban Heat Islands have an impact on mortality (Clarke, 1972), health in general (Lowe, 2016) and consumption of energy for building cooling (Malys et al., 2012) among other effects. A first step towards large scale study of urban climate is to define classes based on logical division of the ...

Local Climatic Zoning and Urban Heat Island in Beirut
Procedia Engineering, 2016 Abstract Local Climate Zones (LCZ) form a systematic classification scheme that is used nowadays for zoning and categorization of the internal structure of urban areas for various applications including urban climatology. This paper applies local climatic zoning mapping for Beirut, a dense city situated along the Mediterranean Sea, and provides ...
