Characterization of an urban area in the legal Amazon using Local Climate Zones (LCZ)
Revista Nacional de Gerenciamento de Cidades, 2023 The growth of agricultural production and the internalization of the industrial sector has led to a significant increase in the populations of small and medium-sized towns in the Midwest region of Brazil. This movement increases the demand for a built environment and promotes the anthropization of the landscape in these cities, altering the ecosystem ...

Heliyon, 2023 The local climate zone (LCZ) has been an important land surface classification used to differentiate urban climate between localities. The general knowledge maps of LCZ studies are needed when LCZ-related research has attracted great attention. This study integrated bibliometrics and critical review to understand the status quo and suggest future ...

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
