Surface urban heat island intensity in five major cities of Bangladesh: Patterns, drivers and trends

Verified

Ashraf Dewan, Grigory Kiselev, Dirk Botje, Golam Iftekhar Mahmud et al.

Journal: Sustainable Cities and SocietyYear: 2021Citations: 243

There is currently a lack of knowledge regarding the spatiotemporal variation of day and night surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII) in the major cities of Bangladesh. These cities have a large population base and generally lack the resources to deal with rapid urbanisation impacts, so any inc...

UNLABELLED: The preschool that children attend has been shown to be a significant but variable predictor of physical activity of 3- to 5-yr-olds, whereas the time outdoors has been found to be a strong correlate of physical activity. Researchers speculate that variations in preschool physical activi...

Abdulla ‐ Al Kafy, Abdullah-Al- Faisal, Md. Shahinoor Rahman, Muhaiminul Islam et al.

Journal: Sustainable Cities and SocietyYear: 2020Citations: 235

The intensity and formation of urban heat island (UHI) phenomena are closely related to land use/land cover (LULC) and land surface temperature (LST) change. The effect of UHI can be described quantitatively by urban thermal field variance index (UTFVI). For measuring urban health and ensuring susta...

Impact of Land Cover Changes on Land Surface Temperature and Human Thermal Comfort in Dhaka City of Bangladesh

Verified

H. M. Imran, Md Anwar Hossain, A. K. M. Saiful Islam, Ataur Rahman et al.

Journal: Earth Systems and EnvironmentYear: 2021Citations: 213

Abstract Urbanization leads to the construction of various urban infrastructures in the city area for residency, transportation, industry, and other purposes, which causes major land use change. Consequently, it substantially affects Land Surface Temperature (LST) by unbalancing the surface energy b...
