“…Civil servants worked closely together with a so called 'knowledge broker' of Alterra, an institute of Wageningen University focusing on applied research and consultancy work. Interestingly in this instance, the international partners offered access to new types of knowledge and techniques used in the German urban climate community: climatopes (Lenzholzer & Brown, 2013;Ren et al, 2012; more on climatopes below).…”

“…A good example for such measures can be found in the way the municipality of Arnhem is trying to incorporate climate-proof strategies and measures (e.g. to cope with an abundance of rainwater) into its municipal structure plan [8]. It would be misguided to blame spatial planning; rather, balancing various spatial issues-whether they be long-or short-term issues-is an inherent feature and task of planning.…”

“…This applies even more so for information about the effects of climate change. Ren et al [8] concluded from their study on the Dutch city of Arnhem, "The existing gap between the practical world of spatial planning and the scientific world of climate studies will never be closed. The tool remains just a fragile bridge to cover a huge gap".…”

The institutions of the Dutch (urban) planning system face four challenging characteristics of climate adaptation measures. These measures are uncertain in their effects, in competition with other interests, multifaceted, and inherently complex. Capacity building is a key issue for the implementation of climate adaptation measures in urban planning processes, which aim to achieve Climate-Proof Cities (CPC). For successful capacity building, it is important to define the relevant stakeholders and tailor the adaptation strategies first to (the position of) these stakeholders and next to the specific urban conditions and issues. In addition, scientific insights and tools can be of assistance, and the use of climate maps can help to create a common language. Such common understanding of climate problems can lead to "goal entwinement" between actors, which can support the implementation of climate adaptation strategies in urban planning. Awareness, recognition and urgency are the most important components of this common understanding, which may differ for each stage in every urban planning process. In order to overcome the pragmatism that rules in day-to-day urban planning processes, multi-level arrangements between different tiers of government must be employed to improve the penetration of climate adaptation measures. After all, it still remains a soft interest in a hard process.

“…Land cover type as a representation of land use (Ren et al, 2012) can absorb and reradiate sun Urbanized areas have significantly higher daylight surface temperatures compared to those of surrounding rural areas with relatively more vegetation (Tran et al, 2006). Urbanized areas are associated with high temperatures, while green spaces are associated with low temperatures (de la Barrera et al, 2015) caused by urban surface temperature reflect from the solar radiation (Li et al, 2010).…”

Land Cover Types and Their Effect on the Urban Heat Signature of University Campuses using Remote Sensing

The campus, as an educational area, has a variety of land cover with varying surface temperatures. Knowledge of land use in a localized urban environment and its effect on the Urban Heat Signature (UHS) of a university campus is insufficient, so it is essential to assess UHS-related localized urban environments. The objective of this study is to assess land cover and its effect on the UHS of two university campuses. The research used spatial-temporal analysis employing satellite images during the period 2013-2014. The areas studied were the University Malaya (UM) and University Indonesia (UI) campuses. The results show that the land cover of both university campuses has the same localized urban environment pattern. The study concludes that the UHS behavior is an effect of its temporal relation with land cover, which is new knowledge on university campuses about localized urban environments.
