Overview

This study shows how remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) can extract land surface temperature (LST) from the Landsat 5, 7, and 8 datasets. In this research, LST over Kharun’s lower catchment, located in Chhattisgarh, India, has been estimated. LST data from 2000, 2006, 2011, 2016, and 2021 were analyzed to see how the LULC pattern changed and how that changed LST. In 2000, the average temperature of the study region was 27.73 °C, whereas in 2021, it reached 33.47 °C. When the average temperature values for each class were determined, it was discovered that forest and adjacent waterbodies had the lowest values, with about 24.15 °C in 2000 and 27.65 °C in 2021, whereas urban regions had more variation in values, ranging from 30.15 °C in 2000 to 38.95 °C in 2021. There could be an increase in LST over time because cities are replacing the green cover. For example, there was a notable increase of 5.74 °C in the mean LST over the research area. The findings revealed that places with extensive urban sprawl had LST between 26 and 45°, which was greater than other natural land cover types, such as vegetation and waterbodies, which was between 24 and 35°. These findings support the suggested method’s effectiveness for retrieving LST from the Landsat 5, 7, and 8 thermal bands when combined with integrated GIS approaches. So, the goal of this study is to look at Land Use Change (LUC) and changes in LST using Landsat data and figure out how they are related to LST, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and the Normalized Built-up Index (NDBI), which are used as major components.
