Since the appearance on Earth, human has been constantly operating in nature, exploiting its riches, but also adapting it to its own needs. Both developing and developed countries are constantly concerned about the urbanization process. Urbanization, in order to be positive, must be developed correctly. If such a thing does not happen, then this de...
Extremely important elements to see the effect of human activities on the one hand and, on the other hand, monitoring changes in the environment are land use and cover (LULC). These elements offer us a great opportunity to determine how much a certain space has been developed rationally (use of natural environmental resources) and how much this spa...
Urban areas, compared to peripheral and rural areas, have higher temperatures which are caused by a series of unplanned activities that are undertaken by humans. Such a thing leads to the emergence of the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) phenomenon. In this paper, summer SUHI is determined through the calculation of LST for the Municipality of Pris...
Urban areas, compared to rural areas, have much more visible characteristics of their climate, such as higher surface and air temperatures, and large spatial variation-within the city-of meteorological parameters. The study aimed at investigating the phenomenon of the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) over the Municipality of Prishtina, Kosovo. The...
The whole study was conducted for the Municipality of Prizren and aims to to determine the effect that the population density has on land surface temperature (LST). All this was achieved through the connection of land surface temperature (LST) and population density. The free Landsat 8 satellite image downloaded from the United States Geological Su...
The influence of factors of different levels on the reduction and loss of vegetation is known as the vulnerability of vegetation. We have used roads, land use, slope, and settlements as variables first to determine the vulnerability of vegetation and then to analyze it. In Kosovo in general, and Prishtina in particular, extraordinary pressure has b...
Geographic visualizations have played a very important role—since ancient times—long before computer visualizations became popular. Since then, it has evolved continuously to this day. Now, the use of modern geographical visualization offers many new opportunities to better and more accurately understand spatial phenomena. Usually, diagram maps and...
In urban areas, due to the thermodynamic characteristics they possess, numerous challenges are faced. This paper aims to study the effect of population lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic on land surface temperature values in the city of Prishtina. Landsat 8 satellite images before and during the pandemic were used for this purpose. The results o...
Around the world, a problem that many cities are facing is rising surface temperatures. This increase is caused by changes made by human activities – covering natural surfaces with impervious surfaces. Compared to rural areas, urban areas, due to the large areas covered with materials that have low albedo values, have higher temperature values. Thi...
The study is aimed at Regression analysis in both cases showed high relationships between LST, NDVI and NDBI. LST relationships with NDVI showed a strong negative correlation having an R 2 value of 0.7638 highlighting the extraordinary role of vegetation towards reducing the SUHI effect while LST relationships with NDBI showed a strong positive cor...
Advances in Remote Sensing (Digital Elevation Models) products and GIS techniques have made the calculation and analysis of morphometric indices much more accurate, effective, and less time-consuming. Dissection index (Di) is a morphometric parameter that indicates the degree of dissection or vertical erosion and the stage of landform development....
