- Abstract
-
Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) are intensifying due to rapid urbanization, reduced vegetation, and high surface heat retention. This study applies Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote-sensing–based Land Surface Temperature (LST) analysis to map UHI intensity in fast-growing metropolitan cities. Using multi-temporal satellite imagery, NDVI classification, built-up density indexing, and supervised land-use classification, the paper identifies UHI hotspots and evaluates mitigation strategies such as cool roofs, green corridors, water-sensitive urban design, and reflective pavements. The findings demonstrate that GIS-based UHI mapping provides essential spatial insights for policymakers and urban planners.
