This study investigated monthly variations of surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII) and the applicability local climate zones (LCZ) scheme for land temperature (LST) differentiation within three spatial contexts, including urban, rural their combination, in Shenyang, China, a city with monsoon-influenced humid continental climate. The SUHII LST Shenyang were obtained through 12 images, one each month (within period between 2018 2020), retrieved from Thermal InfraRed Sensor (TIRS) 10 Landsat 8 based on split window algorithm. Non-parametric analysis Kruskal-Wallis H test multiple pairwise comparison adopted to investigate differentiations LCZs. Overall, LCZ exhibited spatiotemporal variations. July August two months when underwent strong effects. longer cool than effects, occurring November May.

LCZs did not follow fixed order, August, LCZ-10 (Heavy industry) had highest mean LST, followed by LCZ-2 (Compact midrise) then LCZ-7 (Lightweight low-rise). In comparison, LCZ-7, LCZ-8 (Large low-rise) LCZ-9 (Sparsely built) varied -10 built that context, while LCZ-2, LCZ-3 low-rise), LCZ-8, five context. suitability month, October, strongest capability May, it weakest capability. Urban context also made difference suitability, compared whole (the combination areas), either contexts weakened. Moreover, higher level an land-cover suitability.

Identification of factors affecting public willingness to pay for heat mitigation and adaptation: Evidence from Guangzhou, China

Urban Climate, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 48, P. 101405 - 101405

Published: Jan. 18, 2023

Urban heat is a critical problem due to global warming and island effects. will be further aggravated in the coming decades. It essential develop action plans for mitigation adaptation, while limited studies have been carried out support this. Focusing on payment heat-resilient infrastructure, this study investigated public willingness pay (WTP), based an empirical Guangzhou, China. In particular, analyzed heat-related impacts daily functions, physiological psychological associated symptoms, perception, awareness, knowledge, familiarity, WTP amount, mechanisms. The results indicated that outdoor activities work/study were two most affected functions. levels of respondents' familiarity significantly lower than their perceived severity. Moreover, severity was same as impacts. Heat-related received less attention, both research practice, compared with impacts, so deserve more attention future studies. With analysis 352 valid questionnaires, showed >90% respondents expected government involved about 42.3% could payment. About 38.4% directly expressed they 27.3% did not care. At last, it estimated average amount 19.9, 23.8, 27.6 Yuan, among all respondents, according conservative, median aspirational scenarios. also found sleep/rest adaptation awareness had positive willingness. experience illness amount. Overall, paper provides reference understanding issues conducive formulating effective proper economic improving capacity.
