Characterizing Thermal Impacts of Pavement Materials on Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect

DEStech Transactions on Engineering and Technology Research, 2017
Pavements are one of the major contributors to the urban heat island (UHI) effect of cities because they cover a considerably large fraction of urban ground surfaces. Permeable pavements are considered an effective solution for mitigating the heat island effect in hot climates.

Study of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Using Remote Sensing Data/Techniques: A Systematic Review

Environments, 2021
Urban Heat Islands (UHI) consist of the occurrence of higher temperatures in urbanized areas when compared to rural areas. During the warmer seasons, this effect can lead to thermal discomfort, higher energy consumption, and aggravated pollution effects.

Assessing the Spatial Mapping of Heat Vulnerability under Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect in the Dhaka Metropolitan Area

Sustainability, 2022
The urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon gets intensified in the process of urbanization, which increases the vulnerability of urban dwellers to heatwaves. The UHI-induced vulnerability to heatwaves has increased in Bangladesh during past decades.

Relationships between land use types and urban heat island intensity in Hulu Langat district, Selangor, Malaysia

Ecological Processes, 2023
Background Urban heat island (UHI) is an urban climate phenomenon that primarily responds to urban conditions and land use change. The extent of hard surfaces significantly influences the thermal properties of the land.
