“…The fourth paper, by Gupta and Aithal (2022), entitled 'Effects of rising urban temperatures on the wellbeing of residents: A case study of Kolkata Metropolitan Region',takes the Kolkata Metropolitan Region in India as a case study, and investigates the estimation of land surface temperatures (LST) to better understand changes in the landscape,due to climate change and land use, and their impacts on residents from a spatial planning perspective, through the application of a radiative transfer equation (RTE) algorithm. Using LST estimations, the authors found that a substantial increase in temperature of 6.77 °C occurred between 2000 and 2019.…”

There is currently an emerging discussion about the shifting frontiers of research in the field of urban and regional planning. This special section focuses on the new spatial planning paradigm from a theoretical and methodological development perspective. The six papers published in this special section contribute to and extend the spatial planning literature, specifically in relation to land use, ecology and urban geography. The main themes addressed by the papers are as follows: 1) advancing the theoretical development of the concept of new ruralism and its application as a spatial planning principle for sustainable development in rural areas of Korea; 2) the significance of spatial adaptation and the resilience of healthcare systems in responding to the unprecedented hazards and health risks resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic in Abu Dhabi City, in the United Arab Emirates; 3) transit-oriented development (TOD) and its spatial associations with the land use of low-density areas in the Keihanshin conurbation in Japan; 4) estimating the land surface temperature to enhance understanding of changes in the landscape for residents of the Kolkata Metropolitan area in India, using a radiative transfer equation algorithm; 5) how the ecological knowledge of local residents in Shiheung City in Korea, accessed via a spatial text mining approach, can be used to inform policy making; 6) applying a Q methodology to investigate individuals' subjective views and perceptions of nature/natural features when visiting urban parks in Seoul, Korea. Bringing different types of theoretical and methodological perspectives together, this editorial concludes with a summary, critical discussion and suggestions for future research with regard to the new spatial planning paradigm.

“…Higher LST values in Kapota were observed in open land and settlement areas. Gupta and Aithal (2022), stated that densely expanding urban structures, lacking vegetation and open space, can notably affect the region's microclimate, raising concerns about heat-related issues for residents. Furthermore, LST is predominantly influenced by factors such as material composition, the rate of urban expansion, and the presence of vegetated and open areas (Gupta and Aithal, 2022).…”

Furthermore, LST is predominantly influenced by factors such as material composition, the rate of urban expansion, and the presence of vegetated and open areas (Gupta and Aithal, 2022). Monitoring the fluctuation of land surface temperature in Kapota through recording the radiative energy emitted by objects on the surface was highly effective and efficient (Arnfield, 2003;Pal and Ziaul, 2017;Voogt and Oke, 2003).…”

Small islands have unique ecosystems and are vulnerable to land degradation and ecological threats. Integrating spatial and landscape ecology approaches greatly influences the effectiveness and efficiency of environmental monitoring and future environmental management planning. Uncontrolled land conversion, extreme climate conditions, high biophysical land constraints, and anthropogenic and political factors contribute to biodiversity pressures. This study aimed to measure the impact of land use and land cover changes on the LST, NDVI, and NDWI as well as changes in landscape patterns and structures for environmental monitoring and ecological sustainability on Kapota Island. The LST values in 1990 ranged from 21.50°C to 25.40°C, and from 22.63°C to 32.56°C in 2020. In contrast, the NDVI values in 1990 ranged from -0.765 to 0.754 and from -0.241 to 0.514 in 2020. The surface temperature increased in vegetated areas with low density, as well as in non-vegetated areas and settlements. Habitat fragmentation was relatively high, as indicated by the SHDI value closer to 1. Moving forward, future research should delve deeper into the specific drivers of biodiversity pressures, including uncontrolled land conversion, extreme climate conditions, biophysical constraints, and anthropogenic and political factors. Moreover, efforts should be directed toward maintaining a green cover exceeding 30%, enhancing vegetation density, minimizing land-clearing activities, and encouraging the cultivation of crops with good water storage capabilities. This research lays the foundation for a more nuanced understanding of the intricate dynamics at play on small islands and sets the stage for informed conservation and management strategies.
