ASSESSMENT OF THE THERMAL REGULATION CAPACITY OF SERIK NATIONAL GARDEN USING SATELLITE-BASED LST ANALYSIS

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the thermal regulation capacity of Serik National Garden by examining changes in land surface temperature (LST) before and after its construction using remote sensing technology. In the study, the boundaries of the national garden were digitized using ArcGIS Basemap data, and a study area covering the national garden and its surroundings was determined. Surface temperature data was derived from Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS satellite images for the summer seasons of 2014 and 2024. Raster calculator was used to calculate LST changes, while the zonal statistics tool was used for statistical analysis. The analysis results show that the average surface temperature decreased by –1.7±0.6 °C in the area where the national garden was built and by –0.3±0.2 °C in the surrounding zone. The most important factor limiting the environmental cooling effect of the national garden is that the area has been newly established and the vegetation is still low in height and has a limited crown volume. In conclusion, the findings demonstrate that national gardens possess a thermal regulation capacity that can be quantitatively determined through remote sensing technologies, functioning as nature-based solutions within the scope of urban green spaces that combat the urban heat island effect. The maturation of plants within the national garden over time will provide a more effective nature-based solution in combating the urban heat island effect.
