Abstract

Summary

The increase in urbanization is a trend characteristic of both the world and Ukraine over the last historical period. In Volyn region, the largest city is the regional center, Lutsk. Lutsk develops its own microclimate, which depends on the type of active surface and atmospheric circulation processes, topography, the distribution of water bodies, green and industrial zones, and other natural-landscape and anthropogenic factors. One of the manifestations of a large city’s influence on regional climate features is the formation of an Urban Heat Island (UHI). Results: The conditions for the formation and annual dynamics of the heat island in Lutsk were identified; Areas and zones with strong manifestations of increased air and surface temperatures were delineated; Differences in temperature fields between the city and suburban areas were assessed; Proposals for improving the microclimate of the city and its districts were developed. For the first time, a detailed analysis of the manifestations of the Urban Heat Island over Lutsk was conducted using a combination of remote sensing methods and instrumental analysis. The practical application of the obtained results is possible in the field of urban planning measures for adaptation to climate change and the increasing frequency of extreme heat periods.
