Data underlying the publication: Change Detection in a Rural Landscape: A case study of processes and main driving factors and its response to land surface temperature and heat island phenomenon in Farim, Iran
doi: 10.4121/19589734
This study aims to investigate the alteration of land use land cover (LULC) change and its response to change in land surface temperature (LST) and heat island phenomena of a rural district of Farim in the north of Iran from 1990 to 2020 using multi-date Landsat data. The LULC result suggests that most land cover type changes are dedicated to bare land with a 24.83 km2 gain (+80.87%). The result demonstrates that the main changing factors of the bare land are population/precipitation and temperature/population.
Additionally, the effect of LULC change on seasonal LST and urban heat island (UHI) is also analyzed in this study. The result witnessed a significant rise of LST in both the summer and winter seasons of about 12.87 °C and 14.2 °C, respectively. The urban thermal field variance index (UTFVI) shows the strongest zone in the central area and no UTFVI zone in the surrounding region.
