Contributing factors of urban heat island- an investigation on surface temperature of ground surface materials in three plazas with different types of landscape settings : a case study of plazas in Putrajaya

Urban heat island (UHI) is a phenomenon where an urban area is significantly warmer than its surrounding rural area (VoogtandOke, 2003). During night time, more heat is being released causing a greater temperature difference between the city and countryside. The increment of the air temperature is f...
