In this tutorial, we will explore the powerful capabilities of the Google Earth Engine for evaluating Land Surface Temperature (LST), analyzing the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, and calculating the Urban Thermal Field Variance Index(UTFVI) using the Landsat dataset.

UHI has emerged as a greater threat in recent years, affecting the resident's health. Additionally, UHI leads to higher energy demands for cooling, increased heatrelated health risks for urban populations, and environmental impacts on local ecosystems. Understanding and mitigating this phenomenon is crucial for creating sustainable, resilient, and livable cities. Therefore through this workshop, I aim to simplify the process of evaluating the highstress UHI regions, for effective heat stress mitigation
