Relationships between land use types and urban heat island intensity in Hulu Langat district, Selangor, Malaysia

Abstract

Urban heat island (UHI) is an urban climate phenomenon that primarily responds to urban conditions and land use change. The extent of hard surfaces significantly influences the thermal properties of the land. To address this issue, a novel approach quantifying the association between land use and UHI is developed.
