Urban heat island (UHI) has posed a threat to sustainable development, and the identification of spatial characteristics UHI is prerequisite for mitigation effects. Taking Kunming City Guiyang in karst region Southwest China as two examples, this study utilized econometric modeling random forest regression identify compare distribution impact urban islands related topographic morphology. The results indicated that mainly monocentrically polycentrically distributed, respectively, intensity (UHII) was significantly higher than Guiyang. error model effectively reflected influence topography form on UHII, objectively measured contribution different influencing factors UHII. Enhanced vegetation index (EVI), population density (PD), percentage impervious surface (PIS), ground sky view factor (GSVF), building (BD) water bodies (PW) had similar effects contributions UHII cities, while roughness (USR) contributed less slope (SLOPE) Kunming, SLOPE USR In ecologically fragile zone, morphology are shaped by topography, which can be characterized monocentric polycentric, respectively. And were also closely patterns. EVI, PW, all showed inhibitory EVI most. PD, PIS, BD, exacerbate with PD contributing above conclusions provide reference policymakers planners optimize mitigate island.

This work proposes a new unsupervised method to evaluate the behavior of urban green areas in presence heatwave scenarios by analyzing three indices extracted from satellite data: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Moisture (NDMI), and Land Surface Temperature (LST). The aim this research is analyze vegetation types during heatwaves through analysis these indices. To how characterize heatwaves, an classification proposed that uses Elbow determine optimal number classes Jenks algorithm. Each class assigned Gaussian fuzzy set are classified using zonal statistics operators. membership degree corresponding calculated assess reliability classification. Finally, for each type greenery, frequencies belonging NDVI, NDMI, LST analyzed their heatwaves. framework was tested area consisting city Naples (Italy). results show some such as deciduous forests olive groves, more efficient, terms health status cooling effect, than other heatwaves; they with NDVI NDMI values mainly High Medium High, maximum Low. Conversely, uncultivated critical behaviors Low High. represent support planners local municipalities designing effective strategies nature-based solutions deal heat waves settlements.
