Abstract
The relation between the land cover and the ground surface temperature was analyzed by using the satellite images that showed the heat distribution of the ground surface. The line where the green and the water surfaces accumulated was extracted. Consequently, the possibility of a quantitative evaluation was indicated about ′lines of natural-environment continuity′ that Tokyo metropolitan government was suggested. Though a lot of natural-environment continuity in the direction of east and west were extracted in Tama area, few lines of continuity were extracted without in large scale parks. It was clarified that the relationship between land cover and the ground surface temperature was simply analyzed because the wide area land cover and the ground surface temperature distribution data were shown by using satellite images without large-scale researches of land use or meteorological observation.
