Formulating Operational Mitigation Options and Examining Intra-Urban Social Inequality Using Evidence-Based Urban Warming Effects
TL;DR: In this article , a machine learning approach (Random Forest) was used to model land surface temperature changes with increasing green vegetation landscapes, identify disparities in urban warming exposure, and provide a method for developing evidence-based mitigation options.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring the Effects of Roadside Vegetation on the Urban Thermal Environment Using Street View Images
TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of different roadside vegetation types on land surface temperatures (LSTs) using street view images were explored based on geographically weighted regression (GWR), and the different performances of the analyses using remotely sensed images and Street View images were discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying Interactive Cooling Effects of Morphological Parameters and Vegetation-Related Landscape Features during an Extreme Heat Event
Ayda Kianmehr,Theodore Chao Lim +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of combinations of morphological and vegetation-related landscape features on urban temperatures and thermal comfort were evaluated using the ENVI-met model, and the authors highlighted the necessity of prioritizing heat mitigation interventions based on the site's physical characteristics and landscape features and avoiding generic strategies for all types of urban environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring spatial accessibility and supply-demand deviation of urban green space: A mobile phone signaling data perspective
TL;DR: In this article , the authors developed a modified Gaussian two-step floating catchment area method and used the path planning model of Gaode Map to evaluate the accessibility of UGS under different transportation modes and different time thresholds.
Omnidirectional connectivity of urban open spaces provides context for local government redevelopment plans (SPECIAL FEATURE : Urban Green Infrastructure and the Ecological Functions)
Hyeyeong Choe,James H. Thorne +1 more
TL;DR: This study employs an urban metabolism approach to estimate the permeability of open space within an entire megacity, Seoul, the capital of South Korea, and provides district-level relative permeability scores for the 25 district governments to use in assessments and incentivize cooperation to improve the city’s overall open space connectivity.

Global Change and the Ecology of Cities
Nancy B. Grimm,Stanley H. Faeth,Nancy Golubiewski,Charles L. Redman,Jianguo Wu,Xuemei Bai,John M. Briggs +6 more
TL;DR: Urban ecology integrates natural and social sciences to study these radically altered local environments and their regional and global effects of an increasingly urbanized world.

FRAGSTATS: spatial pattern analysis program for quantifying landscape structure
Kevin McGarigal,Barbara J. Marks +1 more
TL;DR: McGarigal et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a spatial pattern analysis program for quantifying landscape structure called FRAGSTATS, which is almost completely automated and thus requires little technical training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two decades of urban climate research: a review of turbulence, exchanges of energy and water, and the urban heat island
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed progress in urban climatology over the two decades since the first publication of the International Journal of Climatology (IJC) and highlighted the role of scale, heterogeneity, dynamic source areas for turbulent fluxes and the complexity introduced by the roughness sublayer over the tall, rigid roughness elements of cities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The maximal covering location problem
TL;DR: The use of a maximal service distance as a measure of the value of a given locational configuration has been discussed at length by Toregas and ReVelle 1 who show that it is an important surrogate measurement for the value.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal remote sensing of urban climates
James A. Voogt,Timothy R. Oke +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the use of thermal remote sensing in the study of urban climates, focusing primarily on the urban heat island effect and progress made towards answering the methodological questions posed by Roth et al.
