2012 UBT International Conference, 2012 Urban Heat Island (UHI) is considered as one of the major problems in the 21st century as a result of urbanization and industrialization of human civilization. The urban structures generate a large amount of heat from solar radiations and other sources (i.e. anthropogenic heat).

Park Cool Island Examinations in Debrecen, Hungary [PDF]
, 2012 Urban heat island (UHI) intensities are lower in urban green spaces than in their urbanized neighborhood. The phenomenon is called Park Cool Island (PCI). PCI intensities can be determined on the base of thermal differences between city centers and parks.

Cool Pavements for the Mitigation of Urban Heat Island (UHI): A Global Perspective
The human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which release greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere, are the primary drivers of climate change. As a consequence, the average surface temperature is continuously increasing.

MODELING INFLUENCE OF URBAN SPRAWL ON URBAN HEAT ISLAND (UHI) ACTIVITY IN KOLAKA REGENCY
Indonesian Physical ReviewThe expansion of urban areas into rural regions, known as Urban Sprawl, contributes to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon, where urban areas exhibit higher temperatures than their rural counterparts. Kolaka Regency is an area with significant potential for Urban Sprawl and subsequent UHI activity.

Exploring the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect in Port Louis, Mauritius
University of Mauritius Research Journal, 2016 Although many methods for heat island study have been developed, there is little attempt to link the findings to actual and hypothetical scenarios of urban developments which would help to mitigate the UHI in cities. The aim of this paper is to analyze the UHI at two sites with similar geometries within Mauritius, with emphasis on the difference in ...
