ASSESSMENT OF SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF URBAN HEAT ISLANDS (UHI) IN SEMI-ARID CLIMATE

Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2023
An urban heat island phenomenon has increased in the last decades due to rapid urbanization, resulting in a significant impact on local climate. In this study, remote sensing data was used to analyze Spatiotemporal patterns of Urban Heat Island Intensity (UHII) over a 20 years period in a semi-arid climate area.

Urban Heat and Spatial Statistics, Toward Sustainable Cities and Society: A PRISMA‐Based Systematic Review and Empirical Assessment (2020–2025)

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past few decades, the intensification of global warming has brought increased attention to urban thermal dynamics, particularly regarding Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the Urban Surface Heat Island (SUHI) effect. This study conducts a systematic literature review alongside a bibliometric analysis of 123 peer‐reviewed articles ...

A Study on Urban Heat Island (UHI): Challenges and Opportunities for Mitigation

Current World Environment
Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a significant issue in metropolitan regions in India, where cities are experiencing increasing temperatures ranging from 1 to 5 °C. Although UHI is a global phenomenon, it particularly impacts major cities in India, and there is a need for more research in this field. This review compares the latest global developments in UHI

ASSESSING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF METEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS TO THE MAGNITUDE OF URBAN HEAT ISLAND (UHI)

Analele Universităţii din Oradea, Seria Geografie, 2019
An assessment of the relationship of UHI Intensity with wind speed, cloud cover and relative humidity was carried out in the city of Ibadan, Nigeria. Data on wind speed, relative humidity, cloud cover, minimum, maximum and mean temperature were sourced from six weather stations from 1993-2012.

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and
