Evaluating the spatial distribution and the intensity of urban heat island using remote sensing, case study of Isfahan city in Iran
Niloufar Shirani-bidabadi,Touraj Nasrabadi,S H Faryadi,Adnan Larijani,Majid Shadman Roodposhti +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, satellite images of Landsat 7 ETM+ (1999 and 2006) and Landsat 8 (2013 and 2016) were used to retrieve the land surface temperature (LST) of Isfahan in Iran by means of the mono-window algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the effect of 3D urban form on neighborhood land surface temperature using Google Street View and geographically weighted regression
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared and integrated spherical land cover fractions derived from Google Street View (GSV) with the conventional planar land-cover fractions in estimating daytime and nighttime LST variations in the Phoenix metropolitan area, AZ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of spatial clustering of urban land cover on land surface temperature across Köppen climate zones in the contiguous United States
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects of spatial clustering of urban land cover types on land surface temperature (LST) and the potential impact of the background regional climate is also taken into consideration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated analysis of urbanization-triggered land use change trajectory and implications for ecological land management: A case study in Fuyang, China.
TL;DR: Sustainable land use planning must be integrated with landscape patterns to provide useful guidance regarding the spatial regulation of a given area to protect and improve ecosystem services, suggesting that landscape fragmentation had an adverse impact on the overall ESV in Fuyang.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of urban growth spatial pattern (UGSP) on the land surface temperature (LST): A study in the Po Valley (Italy).
TL;DR: Results showed that there is a decreasing LST range (in all conditions) associated with progressive increase of urbanised areas and clustered patterns urban growth have a statistically significant relationship with daytime, nighttime and daily conditions while dispersed pattern urban growth has the same with nighttime only.

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.

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.
