Question: Interested in knowing how to develop measures for adjusting the land surface temperature, and for mitigating the consequent effects of urban heat islands (UHIs) by managing the land use composition and percentage coverage of the individual land-use type?
Background: In the context of climate change and global warming, it is important to monitor the signatures of urban heat islands (UHIs) and to understand their impacts on ecosystems and human health. UHI arises from the phenomenon of relatively higher temperature in the urban center over its surrounding rural environment.
Advancements: The results of this study suggest that the newly developed model provides an opportunity for urban planners and designers to develop measures for adjusting the LST, and for mitigating the consequent effects of UHIs by managing the land use composition and percentage coverage of the individual land-use type.
