Abstract
:
This research has been undertaken to investigate the effect of land Use (LU) on land surface temperature (LST) in Al-Jouf area by using remote sensing indices and (GIS) technique. The study also aims to analyze and compare the relationship between land surface temperature and NDVI / NDWI. The main source of this study is Remote Sensing Data from Landsat-8 OLI (30m resolution) acquired in September (2014). Remotely sensed thermal infrared (TIR) bands have been used to interpret the distribution and changes in surface temperature. Results showed high correlation between Land Surface Temperature and land use types. High temperature values are associated with bare land and built-up area, while low ranges are found in water bodies and vegetation cover. Results also indicate that, LST and [NDVI / NDWI] shared an inverse relationship, implying that an increase in vegetation cover and water bodies abundance would generally reduce land surface temperatures. Generally the LST ranged from 27 °C to 48°C in the study area.
