Statistically Validated Urban Heat Island Risk Indicators for UHI Susceptibility Assessment

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023
This research proposes a collection of urban heat island (UHI) risk indicators under four UHI risk components: hazard, exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. There are 46 UHI risk indicators linked to three pillars of sustainability: social equity, economic viability, and environmental protection.

Enhanced sensitivity of the urban heat island effect to summer temperatures induced by urban expansion

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
A suitable thermal environment is important for the economy, society and public health in urban areas. However, the understanding of the relationship between the urban heat island (UHI) effect and background temperature (T-UHI) is very limited.

The Impact of Road Pavement on Urban Heat Island (UHI) Phenomenon

International Journal of Technology, 2018
An urban heat island (UHI) is a climatic phenomenon caused by modifications to the climate due to changes in the form and composition of the land surface and atmosphere. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of road pavement types for mitigating or intensifying UHI. This study was conducted in the Kota Samarahan area.

Green Roof Technology- Mitigate Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
Las alteraciones en las superficies terrestres, que son atribuidas por las actividades humanas, especialmente en las ciudades, causan muchas implicaciones para el ecosistema. El aumento de los edificios en las ciudades refleja que el crecimiento de las actividades humanas dio como resultado un aumento significativo de la temperatura y un patrón más ...

Meta-pragmatic investigation of passive strategies from ‘UHI– climatology’ nexus perspective with digital twin as assessment mechanism

Journal of Urban Management
A global phenomenon identified 200 years ago as Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect gained popularity as the sheer contributor to the precipitous temperature gradient between rural and urban interface, instigating excess heat gain and associated ill effects ...
