IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF CHANGE IN LULC ON URBAN HEAT ISLAND

Abstract

Urbanization holds critical effects on nearby climate and atmosphere. In the midst of these impacts, one of the most common effects is the urban heat island effect in which the temperatures of the focal urban areas are sure degrees higher than those of close-by provincial ranges. Urban Heat Island is a basic subject for the worldwide environment. It is characterized as the marvels where the presence of surface and barometrical changes because of the urbanization, causes an adjustment of the thermic climatic circumstances which results in hotter zones when contrasted with the enveloping non-urbanized regions, especially during the night. To examine the causes and effect of UHI of any urban range, the underlying stride is to characterize the spatial example of UHI and its power over the distinctive time frame and the adjustment in the temperature of the urban region by the encompassing country territories. Besides, the investigation of land use/land cover change in the region helps in recognizing reasons for warmth collection for a specific region. This study attempts to know the relationship between changes in LULC on Urban Heat Island. Also, to quantify the percentage change in LULC and its impact on surface temperature. For change detection spatial-temporal analysis would be carried out
