Thermal distribution patterns and the influence of green infrastructure in Taipei Basin were analyzed using LANDSAT 8 satellite imagery. The image analysis results showed that most heat islands are distributed within New Taipei City, where they are characterised by densely built areas and/or large and continuous impervious surfaces; whereas cool islands are mostly associated with areas that are mixed with large water bodies and vegetated grounds. Land surface temperature is significantly influenced by land cover, with areas covered by water, trees, and grasses having relatively low temperature. Water body is the coolest land cover type, which is followed by trees. The spatial distribution of the cooling effects is affected by the pattern of green infrastructure and the temperature of its surroundings. Cool islands and cooling dispersal tend to occur in areas mixed with water and greenspaces, which are not adjacent to hotter surroundings. Accordingly, this study suggests integrated consideration of green infrastructure and its interrelationship with surrounding built environments when developing a heat mitigation strategy for Taipei Basin. This can be achieved through planning and design principles including: preserving existing cool islands, increasing water and tree coverage inside greenspaces, and mitigating temperature at the surroundings of green infrastructure. These actions may enhance the cooling magnitude and stability of existing cool islands and facilitate cooling extension in Taipei Basin. |
