摘要

This study evaluates the impact of Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) on urban heat island (UHI) via meteorological parameters such as monthly mean air temperatures (°C), monthly mean minimum air temperatures (°C), the daily maximum air temperature of the stations is 30 °C and above at 2m, monthly mean wind speed (m/s) at 10m and monthly mean relative humidity (%) at 2m in Ortahisar and Akçaabat districts of Trabzon, Türkiye. In methodology, we selected four different meteorological stations in two categories: urban and rural. These are Akçaabat Station (rural-S1), Trabzon Region Station (urban-S2), Trabzon Airport Station (urban-S3), and Trabzon Port Main Breakwater Station (urban-S4). Next, we used a statistical procedure including descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey HSD multi-comparison tests (p < 0.1). The study findings demonstrated that the air temperature variations were much more obvious in monthly minimum mean temperatures (°C) than in monthly mean temperatures. In August, the hottest month, the urban station (S3) was found to be 1.45 °C warmer than the rural station (S1). In January, the coldest month, urban stations (S3 and S4) were detected as 1.36 °C and 1.56 °C warmer than S1. The study findings demonstrated that LULC characteristics were influential in the selected parameters, and there was a clear UHI in Ortahisar of Trabzon, Türkiye.
