Abstract Urbanization and land use changes, especially in arid environments, significantly impact local climate energy demand. This study investigates the relationship between Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) Surface Temperature (LST), carbon footprint (CF) from building consumption Doha, Qatar. Specifically, addresses gap understanding how LULC LST interact to influence CF urban areas. The research utilizes electricity data residential, commercial, government buildings conjunction with remote sensing (Landsat 8) climatical (ERA5) estimate vegetation health. Multiregional Input-Output (MRIO) model was employed calculate direct indirect consumption. At same time, support vector machine (SVM) used classify into areas, green spaces, inland water bodies, barren lands. To further investigate spatial heterogeneity of relationships variables, Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) utilized. hypothesizes that changes will increase buildings, during peak summer months regions, while increased help reduce this impact. hotspots are expected areas higher less space. findings reveal significant correlations LST, reduced residential commercial sectors. Villas exhibited highest due cooling demands, noticeable specific underscores role spaces mitigating both CF, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) showing an inverse CF. Policy implications point urgent need for integrating greening initiatives, enhancing efficiency design, revising planning policies address challenges posed by rising demands regions. Recommendations include incentivizing adoption energy-efficient designs improving cover enhance resilience climates. offers critical insights policymakers, planners, environmental managers aiming balance growth sustainable resilience.

Abstract Climate change and increased human activity have resulted in an increase the frequency intensity of wildfires. Effective wildfire risk assessment is essential for disaster prevention, resource protection, regional stability. Existing studies often overlook spatial heterogeneity temporal patterns wildfires, with limited county-scale quantitative assessments. To address these gaps, multidimensional framework Sichuan Province was proposed, combining characterization modeling. Temporal trends mutation wildfires from 2001 to 2023 were analyzed using Mann-Kendall test. Additionally, model constructed by hazard vulnerability Specifically, assessed Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) capturing driving factors. Vulnerability through Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) approach identify areas high their factor importance. The results indicated a significant rise particularly during winter non-fire prevention periods. MGWR effectively captured heterogeneity, identifying highest levels southwestern Sichuan, Liangshan Prefecture Panzhihua City. High scattered, mainly across southwestern, southern, northern Sichuan. integrated revealed that its surrounding counties exhibited significantly higher than other regions, while eastern northeastern regions demonstrated lowest risk. This study provides scientific foundation targeted management, emergency response strategies Province, offering valuable insights policymakers managers.
