Global climate change has led to a
widespread increase in surface temperatures and significant alterations in
local climate systems. Rising atmospheric temperatures, land use changes, and
variations in water bodies exert considerable influence on Land Surface
Temperature (LST), particularly in areas characterized by intense land–water
interactions. In this context, water bodies and surrounding land cover patterns
play a critical role in shaping regional microclimatic conditions.
This study aims to evaluate the
spatial relationship between land cover and LST in and around Alakır Reservoir
in Antalya Province, within a 5 km buffer zone. Within the scope of the
analysis, a land surface temperature map was generated using Landsat 8
satellite imagery. Corresponding to the same date, artificial
intelligence–based land cover classes were obtained from the ArcGIS Living
Atlas platform. This dataset, developed through collaboration between Esri and
Earth Observatory and derived from Sentinel-2 imagery, is openly accessible. To
assess the relationship between land cover classes and LST values, zonal
statistical analysis was applied, and surface temperature values corresponding
to each land use category were determined.
The results were interpreted in the
context of the region’s climatic characteristics, vegetation distribution, and
topographic structure. The findings are expected to demonstrate the regulating
effect of water bodies and natural land cover on surface temperature and to
contribute to regional-scale planning processes, providing decision-support
insights for local authorities.
