Context Urban heat island studies have found that land cover, neighborhood social conditions and temperatures are correlated. This received great academic attention because of potential ecological, social and health impacts. However, the processes and causalities behind such correlations remain unclear, which impede designing effective heat mitigation approaches. Objectives Our study aims to answer...
Urban areas are generally several degrees hotter than surrounding rural areas, which is referred to as the urban heat island effect. Understanding the spatial pattern of land surface temperature (LST) in cities is important for urban planning, heat mitigation, and air pollution studies. This study developed five models to compare how land cover classes, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI),...
Visual interpretation of remotely sensed imagery has long been used for landscape pattern analysis. Few studies, however, have investigated human variation in estimates of within-patch composition for classification of those patches, particularly in urban settings. This paper compares the agreement of two approaches—visual interpretation and object-based—to estimate the proportion cover of landscape...
