Urban heat island analysis using the ‘local climate zone’ scheme in Presidente Prudente, Brazil
Investigaciones Geográficas, 2018 Although urban heat islands (UHIs) have been widely studied, a recent climate-based classification of urban and rural landscapes provides a new framework for UHI researchers.

Evaluating the local climate zone classification in high-density heterogeneous urban environment using mobile measurement [PDF]
, 2018 Urban heat island (UHI) has been identified as a threat to urban living quality in the context of climate change. As awareness of the impacts of urban expansion on local climate increases, urban planners/decision makers attempt to incorporate climatic ...

Investigating surface UHI using local climate zones (LCZs), the case study of Cairo’s River Islands
Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2023 The spatial configuration of the built environment influences the thermal behaviour at the local level and may generate the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. This impact has been investigated through several physical and climatological approaches. In this respect, the local climate zones (LCZs) scheme is recently adopted to facilitate the spatial ...

PosFAUUSP, 2023 Este artigo visa demonstrar o potencial do método de mapeamento Local Climate Zones (LCZ) aplicado a duas pesquisas urbanas com objetivos e escalas distintas. Originalmente desenvolvido para estudos de clima urbano, o método é aqui explorado em sua aplicação original e em estudos de alterações da cobertura vegetal urbana em uma Região Metropolitana e ...
