Abstract

The
new industrial labor opportunities started in the 1980s in Istanbul Bağcılar district caused a population shift from
the countryside to the cities. Depending on the increase in urbanization, urban
energy consumption causes urban heat island (UHI)
formation in the region by changing local heat models. In this study, the
spatial and temporal effects of industrialization on urbanization and heat
island formation in Istanbul Bağcılar district for 1980-2000 and 2015 years
were examined. According to results, in the region,
UHIs distribution over the years changed based on the industrial locations and
urbanization pattern. In densely built-up and industrial areas, UHIs
distribution slightly differs from other
sparsely distributed built-up areas due to the spectral response of constructed
surfaces in the heat range of the electromagnetic spectrum. UHI mainly clustered in the western, northeastern and central part of the region
where the densities of built-up areas are
high. In the region, from 1986 to 2015 the UHI
effects in the western, northeastern and
central part of the region increased not only depend on the increase in
urbanization and industrialization but
also depend on industrial relocation.
