Exploring the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect in Port Louis, Mauritius [PDF]
, 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 ...

A Literature Review of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Phenomenon Connected with Smart Cities Paradigm
The article aims to analyse the approach used to evaluate Urban Heat Island (UHI) to determine the most suitable parameters based on the urban features of every city. The authors want to investigate the current state of knowledge on the role of Urban Heat Island (UHI) and its associated characteristics in the field of Urban Planning and Smart Cities ...

Understanding and Analysing the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect in Micro-Scale
International Journal of Social Ecology and Sustainable Development, 2019The shortage of vegetation cover alongside urban structures and land hardscape in cities causes an artificial temperature increase in urban environments known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect. The artificial heat stress in cities has a particular threat for usability and health-safety of outdoor living in public space.

Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a phenomenon whereby the centre of cities has a higher temperature than peripheral areas. If the phenomenon is not controlled there is a strong risk of worsening the quality of life of the population geographically involved.

Estimating the expansion of urban areas and urban heat islands (UHI) in Ghana: a case study
Natural Hazards, 2020This research is focused on identifying urban sprawl pattern and extent in two rapidly growing major Ghanaian cities (Accra and Kumasi) and how urban expansion affected heat island effect over the period of 2002–2017 using remote sensing imagery. The research employed remotely sensed images from Landsat 7 and 8 missions for mapping the urban sprawl ...

Urban Heat Island (UHI) and heat waves: what relations?
2018With four years of measurements and alarge sample of stations, the MUSTARDijon network allows for a detailed characterization of the Urban HeatIsland (UHI), a warm season phenomenon. But UHI and maximum temperature values are out of phase at twodistinct time-scales. Seasonally, the maxima of UHI occur from May to July, i.e.

Characteristics of urban heat island (UHI) source and sink areas in urban region of Shenyang
2014 Third International Workshop on Earth Observation and Remote Sensing Applications (EORSA), 2014Based on the Landsat TM image on August 12, 2010, a 4 × 4 fishnet with 16 grids was built, and each grid was 3.5 km× 3.5 km. The changes of the LST (land surface temperature), urban heat island (UHI) source and sink areas and their corresponding percentages in the 16 grids were analyzed in order to find the optimum configuration of source and sink ...
