Understanding land surface temperature impact factors based on local climate zones
TL;DR: In this paper, impact factors of local climate zone (LCZ) were identified using GIS spatial analysis and statistical analysis methods in conjunction with parameter models that reflect urban spatial morphologies on the LCZ scale.

Influence of urban morphological characteristics on thermal environment
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of urban spatial forms on land surface temperature (LST), the spatial distribution of LST and five urban morphology indicators were analyzed, namely floor area ratio (FAR), plot ratio (PR), absolute rugosity (Ra), mean aspect ratio (λc), and sky view factor (SVF).

Efficiency of parks in mitigating urban heat island effect: An example from Addis Ababa
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the cooling effect of vegetation on urban surface and air temperature, 21 parks in Addis Ababa were studied and found that Eucalyptus sp. had a significantly higher cooling effect than any other species group (P < 0.05) and the species with the least effect on temperature were Grevillea and Cupressus.

Bi-temporal characterization of land surface temperature in relation to impervious surface area, NDVI and NDBI, using a sub-pixel image analysis.
TL;DR: It is suggested that percent ISA, combined with LST, and NDBI, can quantitatively describe the spatial distribution and temporal variation of urban thermal patterns and associated land-use/land-cover (LULC) conditions.
