Socio-economic and environmental vulnerability to heat-related phenomena in Bucharest metropolitan area

Ines Grigorescu et al.

Summary: In this study, a multi-criteria vulnerability assessment was conducted in Romania, evaluating the socio-economic and environmental vulnerability to heat-related phenomena in urban areas using statistical data from local administrative units. The study resulted in the Social-Economic Vulnerability Index (SEVI) and Environmental Vulnerability Index (EVI), ultimately computing an integrated Heat Vulnerability Index (HVI) using a Hull score method with an average of 50 and standard deviation of 14.

Mapping temporal and spatial changes in land use and land surface temperature based on MODIS data

Tzu-Ling Chen

Summary: This study utilized spatial analysis to examine temporal and spatial changes in heat stress, finding an expansion of high temperature areas and changes in land use. The temperature variation between urban and rural areas was not significant, indicating a need for more efforts in mitigating extreme heat stress in urban planning.

Diurnal and seasonal trends and associated determinants of surface urban heat islands in large Bangladesh cities

Ashraf Dewan et al.

Summary: This study focused on the intensity of surface urban heat island (SUHI) in five major cities in Bangladesh and found that factors such as dense city population, a high degree of imperviousness, and the absence of greenery may contribute to urban warming. The findings of this study will help in developing effective local-scale climate change adaptation plans for the projected substantial increase in urban population in Bangladesh in the future.

Perspectives on spatial representation of urban heat vulnerability

Joseph Karanja et al.

Summary: The study highlights that extreme heat is one of the deadliest summer weather-related hazards in the USA, especially in urban areas. There is a need to establish a more systematic and consistent conceptual framework for determining vulnerability to heat hazards. The research calls for a precise depiction of heat vulnerability in urban areas to inform targeted adaptation and mitigation measures.

Wan-Yu Shih et al.

Summary: The risk to health from extreme heat has gained attention in scholarship and policy, with demographic and socio-economic factors influencing an individual's susceptibility to extreme heat. Many countries still rely on expert judgments for heat vulnerability assessment, which may not always be evidence-informed and can be influenced by the experts involved.

Surface urban heat island intensity in five major cities of Bangladesh: Patterns, drivers and trends

Ashraf Dewan et al.

Summary: The research investigated the spatiotemporal variation of SUHII in major cities of Bangladesh, finding that larger cities have higher SUHII, with daytime SUHII greater than nighttime. Factors such as population, lack of greenery, and anthropogenic forcing play significant roles in influencing SUHII, with varying trends observed in urban development.
