“…Added to the above are parameters that are responsible for global changes [7][8][9][10][11][12]; which significantly affect the vegetation cover of watersheds and disrupt their environmental sustainability; such as changes in climatic conditions [13], changes in the ecosystem, and biodiversity [14], changes in the landscape and its fragmentation [15][16][17][18], as well as the impact of urban growth [16,19,20].…”

The protection of forest cover in Cuba is a state priority. It is part of the state plan to deal with climate change. The purpose of this paper is to assess the legal risks associated with the protection of forest cover, which is essential to ensure the sustainability of hydrological watershed management in Cuba. The qualitative method of social research was followed. Techniques of content analysis, semi-structured interviews, and legal exegetics were applied. Geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing techniques were also used to triangulate data and results. This article provided a robust analytical framework for generating innovative laws for land planning through a three-phase methodological design associated with configuring, interpreting, and applying tools for stopping deforestation processes based on watershed management. As a result, it was demonstrated that limitations reveal a deficient legal application with risk in the river basin, and a significant causal relationship between institutions and communities. Furthermore, the study indicated that although there are legal norms that regulate the protection of forest cover in the studied basin, its vulnerabilities generate uncertainty about the foreseeable results in management of forest cover. It is recommended that the Provincial Council of Hydrographic Basins include the design of legal risk indicators for forest cover management into the sub-plan for forest area increase. These recommendations constitute a set of related actions to improve the sustainability of the above-mentioned management.

“…The application of Remote Sensing (RS) and the Geographic Information System (GIS) have provided opportunities to estimate LULC changes and the LST distribution in a particular region [24][25][26][27][28]. Several studies describe the LULC change and its impacts on LST using multi-temporal Landsat images [14,18,29].…”

“…Rapid urbanization has resulted in increased urban population density, urban expansion, and the conversion of a large number of natural surfaces to artificial surfaces and buildings. The increases of impervious surfaces and building walls and the decrease of vegetation cover affect the urban thermal environment [1,2]. Residents that have lived in urban centers for a long time feel the increased effects of the surface urban heat island, which makes people feel physically and psychologically uncomfortable and affects the comfort level and quality of life of an urban living environment [3,4].…”

The Influence of Sky View Factor on Daytime and Nighttime Urban Land Surface Temperature in Different Spatial-Temporal Scales: A Case Study of Beijing

et al. 2021

Urban building morphology has a significant impact on the urban thermal environment (UTE). The sky view factor (SVF) is an important structure index of buildings and combines height and density attributes. These factors have impact on the land surface temperature (LST). Thus, it is crucial to analyze the relationship between SVF and LST in different spatial-temporal scales. Therefore, we tried to use a building vector database to calculate the SVF, and we used remote sensing thermal infrared band to retrieve LST. Then, we analyzed the influence between SVF and LST in different spatial and temporal scales, and we analyzed the seasonal variation, day–night variation, and the impact of building height and density of the SVF–LST relationship. We selected the core built-up area of Beijing as the study area and analyzed the SVF–LST relationship in four periods in 2018. The temporal experimental results indicated that LST is higher in the obscured areas than in the open areas at nighttime. In winter, the maximum mean LST is in the open areas. The spatial experimental results indicate that the SVF and LST relationship is different in the low SVF region, with 30 m and 90 m pixel scale in the daytime. This may be the shadow cooling effect around the buildings. In addition, we discussed the effects of building height and shading on the SVF–LST relationship, and the experimental results show that the average shading ratio is the largest at 0.38 in the mid-rise building area in winter.
