Quantifying the Heat Mitigation Capacity of Green-Blue Infrastructures in the Metropolis of Tehran [PDF]

تحقیقات کاربردی علوم جغرافیایی
The aim of this research is to evaluate the heat mitigation index (HMI) in the Tehran metropolitan area using the Urban Cooling Model (UCM) approach in a spatial framework. UCM produces maps of the Heat Mitigation Index.

The Impact of urbanization on urban heat island

Urbanization has adverse environmental effects, such as rising surface temperatures. This study analyzes the relationship between the urban heat island (UHI) intensity and Tianjin city's land cover characteristics. The land use cover change (LUCC) effects on the green areas and the land surface temperature (LST) were also studied.

Urban Heat Islands and sustainable urbanity

, 2011
The urban heat island effect exemplifies the myriad of pressing environmental problems facing the rapidly growing tropical mega-cities. While the climatic consequences of urbanization are apparent in all cities, tropical mega-cities are doubly disadvantaged on account of the already oppressive heat being made worse by the deteriorating urban climate ...

On the Urban Heat Island in Beirut

, 2015
The urban heat island (UHI) is one of the more commonly documented phenomena of climate change. It is related to higher urban temperatures in the city centers as compared to the surrounding rural or suburban areas and can lead to unpleasant effects on urban dwellers not least of all on air quality, energy consumption levels, human health, and even ...
