Local Climate Zone-Based Analysis of Urban Heat Island Influencing Factors in Coastal Cities Across Multiple Climate Zones

Remote Sensing
Rapid urbanization has intensified the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) effect, which poses particular challenges for coastal cities where marine environments, climatic regulation, and distinctive urban morphology interact in complex ways.

Spatio-temporal analysis of LST, NDVI and SUHI in a coastal temperate city using local climate zone

Energy and Built Environment
Extreme heat due to changing climate poses a new challenge for temperate climates. The challenge is further aggravated by inadequate research, policy, or preparedness to effectively respond and recover from its impacts.

USING LOCAL CLIMATE ZONE (LCZ) TO STUDY THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND AT CITY LEVEL- A CASE STUDY OF AHMEDABAD

International Journal of Advanced Research
Increased temperature in urban areas brings about various problems and thermal discomfort. Many studies focused on detecting the effects of land cover patterns on Land Surface Temperature (LST) using satellite imagery and subjective study (Peoples perception) of the thermal environment. A very limited number of studies (Kim et al., 2021) (Stewart &

Thermal Footprint of the Urbanization Process: Analyzing the Heat Effects of the Urbanization Index (UI) on the Local Climate Zone (LCZ) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) over Two Decades in Seville

Land
Urbanization is a multifaceted process characterized by changes in urban areas through various means, such as sprawl, ribbon development, or infill and compact growth. This phenomenon changes the pattern of the local climate zone (LCZ) and significantly affects the climate, vegetation dynamics, energy consumption, water resources, and public health ...

A Decision Rule and Machine Learning-Based Hybrid Approach for Automated Land-Cover Type Local Climate Zones (LCZs) Mapping Using Multi-Source Remote Sensing Data

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
This article presents a streamlined, automated classification method to map land-cover-type local climate zones (LCZs). Using a two-phase hybrid approach, we first generated training samples through universal decision rules and subsequently, a machine learning (ML) algorithm was trained on the generated samples to classify LCZs.
