Multidimensional characteristics of urban green space and its impact in mitigating urban heat Island effects: a case study of Guangzhou.

ABSTRACT: Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is a significant concern in cities, increasing environmental and living conditions challenges. Urban green spaces are essential in mitigating UHI effects by regulating temperature. However, most studies do not adequately consider the multidimensional characteristics of green spaces in their cooling effects on the UHI. To address this gap, this study systematically investigates the cooling effects of green space by examining global and local mitigation mechanisms, with Guangzhou as a case study. Land surface temperature (LST) data were retrieved using the Mono-Window algorithm to analyze spatial variations in UHI intensity. Green space was further evaluated in terms of distribution, quality, and morphology, providing a robust evaluation. A Random Forest (RF) r
