Abstract
Increased temperature in urban areas brings about various problems and thermal discomfort. Many studies focused on detecting the effects of land cover patterns on Land Surface Temperature (LST) using satellite imagery and subjective study (Peoples perception) of the thermal environment. A very limited number of studies (Kim et al., 2021) (Stewart & Oke, 2012) have focused on the Local Climate zone (LCZ) classification system and their use in the LULC and LST study. This study focused on investigating the UHI effect at the city level through a detailed step-wise process covering the literature review to the empirical investigation of LST. Using qualitative data from the expert panel discussion and quantitative data from satellite imagery, an experimental study will be conducted to observe the impact of different built-up types on the local temperature. This study presents a methodology to study a city by defining a universal standard that will enhance the understanding of LST at a micro-scale and give insight into mitigating the urban heat intensity through urban design and urban planning.
