Local Climate Zones (LCZs) and Urban Morphological Parameters Using GIS: An Application to Italian Cities

, 2022
LCZs refer to a classification system that exists out of 17 classes, 10 of which can be described as urban, proposed as the new standard for characterizing and comparing urban landscapes.

Urban Landscape Change Analysis Using Local Climate Zones and Object-Based Classification in the Salt Lake Metro Region, Utah, USA

Remote Sensing, 2019
Urban areas globally are vulnerable to warming climate trends exacerbated by their growing populations and heat island effects. The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) typology has become a popular framework for characterizing urban microclimates in different ...

Local Climate Zones in Tropical Urban Environments: A Review

Forum Geografi
Local climate zones (LCZs) were originally proposed to redefine the rural–urban dichotomy, while providing a standardised framework for urban heat island (UHI) studies worldwide. The UHI phenomenon, characterised by rising land surface temperature (LST),

Classification of Local Climate Zones Using ASTER and Landsat Data for High-Density Cities

, 2017
© 2017 IEEE. The local climate zone (LCZ) scheme provides a standard method to conduct urban heat island studies, in which urban landscapes are classified into different LCZs according to urban structures, land cover, and construction materials. Based on

Identifying Spatial Heterogeneity in LCZ Impacts on SUHII and Corresponding Planning Strategies Using Coupled Spatial Autocorrelation and GWR Models: A Case Study of Berlin

Remote Sensing
The urban heat island (UHI) effect has become a global environmental challenge, and quantifying the spatial heterogeneity of its driving mechanisms while developing differentiated regulation strategies remains a critical research gap.
