Abstract:

Understanding urban forms vulnerable to urban heat islands provides urban planning measures to improve urban heat islands and offering insight into different sustainable urban forms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the urban heat island effect and urban forms, to explore which urban forms are vulnerable to this effect, and to present urban planning measures to alleviate urban heat islands. This study also conducted an analysis on two scales, the macro- and micro-dimensions, to develop policy suggestions for urban heat island mitigation. In the macro-scale

Abstract With the increase of Urban Heat Islands (UHI) and the effects of global warming, cities will face challenges in anticipating these phenomena. However, the complexity of urban development within the framework of urban planning policies, makes difficult for urban decision-makers to anticipate the Urban Heat Islands within their territory. In this paper, we propose a methodology to assess the impact of urban planning policies on Urban Heat Island. Thanks to a coupling of 2D urban growth model, 3D constructability model and urban microclimate simulation, this tool will make it possible to

Today, the most severe issue in metropolitan areas is rising surface temperature due to poor urban design. Given the significance of the urban thermal island, numerous studies have been done to discover the mechanisms influencing its growth and decline. Thermal comfort is relatively simpler to accomplish inside a building, whereas it is considerably more challenging to achieve in open spaces, and hence far less work has been done on it. The construction of urban thermal islands has emerged as one of the most serious concerns of our day, and it has captured the scientific community's attention.

Abstract:

With the rapid increase in demand for the construction and development of island cities in the South China Sea, the urban heat island phenomenon in such cities should become a key factor to be considered in future urban planning. This paper took Sanya, China as a typical case, and long-term field experiments were conducted in the Mangrove Bay Area in summer and winter. An innovative urban green space cooling model was proposed, using the “green space cooling index” to quantitatively characterize the green space cooling effect, and aiming to minimize the intensity of urban heat islands.

Abstract. Mitigating urban heat islands has become an important objective for many cities experiencing heat waves. Despite notable progress, the spatial relationship between land use and/or land cover patterns and the distribution of air temperature remains poorly understood. This article presents a reusable computational workflow to simulate the spatial distribution of air temperature in urban areas from their land use and/or land cover data. The approach employs the InVEST urban cooling model, which estimates the cooling capacity of the urban fabric based on three biophysical mechanisms: tre

Urban heat island is known to adversely affect microclimate in an area which includes temperature, rainfall, relative humidity and wind velocity. These climatic changes may influence the transmission of dengue and density of Aedes spp due to their effect on the life cycle of Aedes spp which is the primary vector for dengue. This review aims to analyse existing literatures on urban heat islands and its implication on dengue incidence.

Abstract This work addresses the urban heat island issue and its impact on vulnerable populations in cities. Urban heat islands refer to the phenomenon where temperatures in built-up areas exceed those of surrounding rural regions due to the absorption and retention of heat by built-up surfaces and the lack of vegetation. The study focuses on Milan and uses data from Daytime Near-Surface Air Temperature estimates and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index to assess accessibility to green spaces during an extreme heat event. The goal is to establish a practical approach for assessing urban

The “heat island” phenomenon is one of many serious problems caused by rapid urban growth. This study therefore sought to characterize and quantify heat islands in Uberlandia, to evaluate the seasonality of these islands (winter-summer) and to identify the effect of surface coverage on their intensity. To identify intra-urban heat islands in Uberlandia, air temperature data were collected in two seasons (winter and summer) using mobile and fixed transects seasons. Transition measurements were recorded automatically every 0.5 seconds using a car-mounted thermos-hygrometer moving at an average o

Abstract. Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a phenomenon where urban areas experience higher temperatures than their surrounding rural areas due to human activities and the presence of heat-absorbing materials such as concrete and asphalt. This study aims to map the spatial distribution of UHI in Scotlandville, a neighbourhood in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, using satellite remote sensing approach. Landsat 9 imagery was used to compute the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) to extract the urban heat islands and greenspaces within the study area.

Abstract:

As cities and their population are subjected to climate change and urban heat islands, it is paramount to have the means to understand the local urban climate and propose mitigation measures, especially at neighbourhood, local and building scales. A framework is presented, where the urban climate is studied by coupling a meteorological model to a building-resolved local urban climate model, and where an urban climate model is coupled to a building energy simulation model. The urban climate model allows for studies at local scale, combining modelling of wind and buoyancy with computational flui

It is characterized by increased temperature of both the air and ground surface, compared to the surrounding rural landscape, and is a typical feature of the urban climate.

The article provides a review and evaluation of selected published studies devoted to the issue of the urban heat island, from the point of view of the application of land cover and land use data in the 3-dimensional microscale urban model.

Abstract:

Daytime urban heat island effects can be weak compared to night time and even reversed (as in the case of cool islands, where urban locations display lower temperatures than at a rural site), mostly due to shading effects from buildings, vegetation, and other possible obstructions. The study of the relationship between the sky-view factor, an indicator of urban geometry in terms of sky openness, and urban heat island intensity generally focus on night time periods; only a few report on the daytime effect of the SVF. Such effect will also vary according to background atmospheric conditions of t

The urban built environment, comprising structures, roads, and various facilities, plays a key role in the formation of urban heat islands, which inflict considerable damage upon human society. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in urban areas characterized by the rapid growth and concentration of populations, a global trend, notably exemplified in megacities such as Bangkok, Thailand. The global trend of urbanization has witnessed unprecedented growth in recent decades, with cities transforming into megametropolises that profoundly impact changes in urban temperature, specifically the

Abstract:

AbstractCities are well known to be hotter than the rural areas that surround them; this phenomenon is called the urban heat island. Heat waves are excessively hot periods during which the air temperatures of both urban and rural areas increase significantly. However, whether urban and rural temperatures respond in the same way to heat waves remains a critical unanswered question. In this study, a combination of observational and modeling analyses indicates synergies between urban heat islands and heat waves. That is, not only do heat waves increase the ambient temperatures, but they also inte

The urban heat island effect is a typical feature of urban climates. Problems associated with urban heat islands include an increase in energy consumption and health issues resulting from a reduction in thermal comfort. The method of constructing a heat island network, which helps identify and analyze urban heat island phenomena, has become a focus of research in areas such as the effect of urban greening on the heat island effect. Considering this, Landsat remote sensing images from Tiantai County, Taizhou City, were used to identify and analyze the distribution characteristics of heat island
