URBAN LANDSCAPE CHANGE ANALYSIS AND THEIR IMPACT ON LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN NAY PYI TAW CITY IN MYANMAR

摘要

Industrialization in large cities with increasing population density and urban sprawl are causing the risk of overheating in cities or nearby areas. Land surface temperature (LST) is a fundamental aspect of climate and biology, affecting organisms and ecosystems from local to global scales and so this paper first examines the relationship between urban landscape changes and land surface temperature change in Nay Pyi Taw City from 1995 to 2020 using the google earth engine (GEE) and correlation of Land Cover Land Use (LCLU) and LST indices. Finally, this paper investigated the forecast of future land cover and land surface temperature using MOLUSE plugin in QGIS. To confirm the results, comparing surface temperatures with near-atmospheric temperature. This study will help urban urban planners and environmental engineers to understand LST on urban landscape changes and appropriate strategy for future urban planning and management.
