Abstract

Summary

This study explores the relationship between land-use and land-cover changes (LULC) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) in Kharkiv, Ukraine, for 1984 and 2022. Using Landsat 5 and 8 imagery processed through the Google Earth Engine, significant LULC shifts were identified, with ‘Built-up’ areas and ‘Forest’ expanses increasing notably. LST readings revealed that ‘Forest’, ‘Vegetation’, and ‘Water’ classes maintained lower temperatures, whereas ‘Built-up’ and ‘Bare land’ areas showed elevated temperatures. This analysis underscores the growing urban heat island effects in expanding urban areas like Kharkiv. The findings emphasize the need for sustainable urban planning to mitigate environmental challenges.
