Abstract

The role of landscape configuration in urban heat island effects is crucial for sustainable urban planning. This study examines the impact of land-use changes on land surface temperature (LST) in the Muratpaşa District of Antalya from 1984 to 2024. Data from 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, 2019, and 2024 were analyzed at five-year intervals. Land-use maps and LST data were derived from the thermal infrared bands of Landsat-5 TM and Landsat-8 OLI-TIRS. LST values, categorized into seven groups, were calculated by converting radiance values into spectral radiation and Kelvin temperatures. Land-use classes, including green land, agricultural land, constructive land, water land, and bare land, were identified using interactive supervised classification. Landscape patterns were analyzed using ten indices within the framework of landscape ecology. ArcGIS 10.8.1 and Fragstats 4.2 software were used for analyses. Findings reveal a significant increase in surface temperatures over four decades, driven by urban expansion. Increased impervious surfaces created more high temperature zones, while reduced green spaces intensified the urban heat island effect. A strong correlation between LST and land-use patterns was identified, providing insights for urban heat management and climate change adaptation.
