Analyzing the Urban Heat Island for City Planning With GIS Track: Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Author(s): Hironori Watanabe, YOSHIKI JYU-NIMURA Many Japanese cities have faced the thermal pollution problem caused by the urban heat island (UHI). It has been pointed out that the reason of UHI is land cover change and artificial heat release, but in many cities, except for in a few cities (e.g., Tokyo), the actual condition of UHI has not been clarified. In this paper, several ideas and experiments are explained, which are related to applying GIS techniques for analyzing UHI for city planning. First, field observation of UHI in Sendai city is described. Next, analysis of UHI by using GIS techniques is explained, then we will discuss how to apply the results of climate analysis to city planning--for example, representing the results of climate analysis, climatologically recommendation for city planning, and trial of specialist's workshop about urban climate and city planning.
