SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF URBAN GROWTH ON URBAN HEAT ISLAND: CASE OF KONYA, TURKIYE

Abstract. The increase in impermeable surfaces within the urban areas contributes to local and regional-scale climate changes. This phenomenon, called "Urban Heat Island," is observed as temperature higher than rural natural landscape on fringe. In recent years, advances remote sensing geographic information system technologies have enabled heat island effect be determined more quickly, economically, accurately. this study, rapidly increasing urbanization Konya, Türkiye resulting been analyzed. study consists of four steps. first step, land surface temperatures for 1990 2022 Konya city center were using thermal band Landsat-5 TM Landsat-8 OLI satellite images. Then, images classified maximum likelihood method determine use cover Konya. effects types growth examined. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) Built-Up (NDBI) analyses examined statistical relationships between temperature. last different regions based their form, texture, structure, landscape, planning strategy. As a result measures that can taken especially spatial design policies identified reduce prevent
