Abstract

In the recent years, urban heat island impacts have attracted more and more attention due to their possible environmental problems affecting people’s normal life. Our attempt was to demonstrate the spatial distribution of heat island in Shiraz and explain the features of the spatial distribution of heat island through different districts according to the present status of green lands in the city.  For this purpose, qualitative and quantitative analyses have been applied to investigate the relationship between normalized difference vegetated index (NDVI) and Heat Islands (UHI) which are produced by Land Surface Temperature (LST) products of Sentinel-3. The methodology adopted in this study were expressing descriptive and comparative information from different sources and documentaries to reveal the tensions of this situation. GIS, QGIS, SNAP, SPSS and Adobe Photoshop have been used to conduct this investigation and developing final results. The outputs of this work can facilitate providing certain scientific supports for Shiraz’s urban and green lands planning in the future.
