A Model for Assessing the Negative Effect of Urban Heat Islands in St. Petersburg for Urban Planning Purposes
https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0395-2026-4-50-56
Abstract
Proposals have been developed for identifying and reducing heat load in the urban environment based on sustainable urban planning adapted to climate change conditions. This research is relevant due to the increasing frequency and intensity of thermal anomalies in cities and the resulting deterioration in quality of life due to the insufficient integration of adaptive approaches into modern urban planning. The climatic characteristics of St. Petersburg, as well as the characteristics and consequences of the urban heat island effect (UHI), are examined. Key methods and tools for studying UHI are analyzed, including satellite data processing in the Google Earth Engine cloud platform and spatial analysis in QGIS. A mathematical model has been developed and automated.
