The globe is at a crossroads in terms of the urban heat island effect, with rising surface temperatures due to urbanization and an expanding built environment. This cause-and-effect connection may be linked weather-related dangers, natural disasters, disease outbreaks. Urbanization industrialization will not lead secure sustainable future. Finding solutions problems such as effect forefront sci...

A city's ecology and energy use can be affected by an urban heat island (UHI). However, its role in exacerbating populations' stress has been extensively studied. This study reviewed summarized the literature on UHI, causes, effects. After that, characteristics of population vulnerability are examined. The results studies health effects, potential mitigation tactics existing settlements show ne...

In this study Yan'an City, a typical hilly valley city, was considered as the study area in order to explain the relationships between the surface urban heat island (SUHI) and land use/land cover (LULC) types, the landscape pattern metrics of LULC types and land surface temperature (LST) and remote sensing indexes were retrieved from Landsat data during 1990-2015, and to find factors contribute...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES In the Carpathian Basin, the most northern populations of Phlebotomus (sandfly) species, including the two studied species (Phlebotomus mascittii and Phlebotomus neglectus), are reported from central Hungary. The most important limiting factor of the distribution of Phlebotomus species in the region is the annual minimum temperature which may be positively affected by th...

Urban heat islands (UHIs) are negatively impacting the quality of urban environment and outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) levels, which have raised concerns regarding their impact on health well-being. Understanding OTC level is crucial, particularly in tropical cities with year-round high temperatures humidity. A study was conducted Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia, to determine a selected area through...

The urban heat island is a well-known phenomenon that impacts a wide variety of city operations. With greater availability of cheap meteorological sensors, it is possible to measure spatial patterns of urban atmospheric characteristics with greater resolution. To develop robust and resilient networks, recognizing sensors may malfunction, it is important to know when measurement points are provi...

The cooling effects of urban parks, which form “Park Cool Island” (PCI), can help decrease land surface temperature (LST) and mitigate urban heat island (UHI) effects. PCI intensity largely depends on the characteristics of urban parks. The relationship between PCI intensity and urban park characteristics such as urban park size has been well documented. However, it is still unclear how urban f...
