Effect of Land Surface Temperature on Urban Heat Island in Varanasi City, India

Crucial changes in urban climate can be witnessed due to rapid urbanisation of cities across the world. It is important find a balance between expansion and thermal environment quality guarantee sustainable development. Thus, it major research priority study heat island (UHI) various fields, i.e., change ecology, climatology, planning, mitigation management, geography, etc. The present highlighted interrelationship land surface temperature (LST) abundance impervious cover green Varanasi city Uttar Pradesh, India. For this purpose, we used GIS remote-sensing techniques. Landsat 8 images, land-use–land-cover pattern including urban/rural gradients, grid- metric-based multi-resolution techniques were for analysis. From study, was noticed that LST, density cover, correlated significantly, an gradient existed over entire city, depicting typical UHI profile. also concluded orientation, randomness, aggregation have strong correlation with LST. recommended that, when planning extension, spatial variation are designed properly ensure comfort all living beings as per ecological point view.
