The Role of Vegetation in Attenuating the Urban Heat Island (UHI): A Case Study in Guimarães, Portugal [PDF]
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon, characterized by elevated temperatures in urban areas compared to their surroundings, is caused by the high density of impervious surfaces in built-up areas, which absorb and retain heat, and by the concentration of heat-generating activities in urban spaces.

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), AIR POLLUTION, AND HUMAN HEALTH: A REVIEW
Sokoto Journal of Geographical StudiesUrbanization is accelerating globally, with more than 56% of the world’s population currently living in urban areas, a figure projected to reach nearly 70% by 2050. UHI is characterized by elevated urban temperatures relative to surrounding rural areas due to the prevalence of impervious surfaces, reduced vegetation cover, and anthropogenic heat ...

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 ...

Cooling trajectories in Commercial areas for Urban Heat Island (UHI) mitigation
Climate change and rising temperatures are established facts, forcing cities to face a reality to which they must adapt. "On June 28, 2019, a temperature of 45,9°C was recorded at a weather station in France, exceeding the country's previous temperature record; set during the infamous 2003 heatwave; by almost 2°C" (Mitchell, D & al. 2019).Rita Akiki +3 more

The Impact of Urban Heat Island (UHI) Phenomenon on the Climate of Qatar
Rapid urbanisation can potentially raise the ambient surface temperatures in recently developed built-up areas of large cities due to what is known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect. The increasing temperature trends due to global warming further aggravates the UHI effects. Advanced statistical techniques were used aimed at assessing the UHI effectopenaire +1 more source
