Abstract:

A growing number of studies have examined the impact of urban morphological factors on surface urban heat islands (SUHI). However, less attention is paid to investigating the comprehensive effect of urban morphological factors on land surface temperature (LST) across seasons, particularly at the block scale. In this study, we investigated 385 blocks in the central part of Fuzhou city, China. Twelve urban morphological factors in four categories were calculated from multi-source data, and the random forest regression (RFR) method was employed to calculate the relative importance of urban morphological factors from a block perspective. Our results confirmed that the blocks with high-density low-rise buildings had the highest LST and distribution index. The correlations between LST and urban morphological factors varied seasonally. The normalized difference vegetation index yielded a positive correlation with LST in winter. The RFR model revealed that twelve urban morphological factors could explain 52–57.8% of LST variation. More importantly, the building form metrics and surface biophysical parameters are the two essential categories affecting LST, contributing >70% of the total relative contribution to LST. These findings provide useful insights to ameliorate the SUHI effect and have substantial implications for urban ecological sustainability from a block perspective. © 2022
