Abstract

Summary

The phenomenon of the urban heat island (UHI) is an important aspect of modern urbanism and climatology, as it contributes to changes in the microclimate, increased energy consumption and increased heat stress for the population. The study examines the dynamics of temperature changes in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv for the period 2002–2022 using remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) methods. Landsat 8 and MODIS satellite data were used to analyze the spatial distribution of temperature. The results of the study showed that the main factors of the growth of urban heat islands are the increase in the area of construction, the development of transport infrastructure and the reduction of natural areas. To minimize the impact of urban heat islands, it is necessary to implement measures to expand green areas and increase the energy efficiency of urban areas.
