Impacts of Some Surface Parameters on Urban Heat Island Development [PDF]
, 2012 Effects of two important surface parameters (distance from the center of the settlement and extent of evaporating surfaces) on development of urban heat island (UHI) are examined in the present paper.

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 ...
