Analysis of Surface Temperature of Urban Green Spaces by using LANDSAT TM and ETM+data

Abstract

In this study, we discussed relations between surface temperature and 12 factors of urban green spaces. We analyzed Landsat TM and ETM+ data taken in the daytime in summer and the area of about 33.6km square in Tokyo was chosen as an analyzed area. Analysis of the relation of surface temperature and factors of green spaces were undertaken by regression analysis of each factors and combination of principle component analysis and multiple regressions. As a result, 12 factors showed the influence to the surface temperature, especially the continuity of green spaces.
