Abstract

Temperatures in urban areas are steadily rising due to rapid urbanization and on-going climate change. Since the spatial distribution of heat in a city varies by region, it is crucial to investigate detailed thermal characteristics of urban areas. Recently, many studies have been conducted to identify thermal characteristics of urban areas using satellite data. However,satellite data are not sufficient for precise analysis due to the trade-off of temporal and spatial resolutions.In this study, in order to examine the thermal characteristics of Daegu Metropolitan City during the summers between 2012 and 2016, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) daytime and nighttime land surface temperature (LST) data at 1 km spatial resolution were downscaled to a spatial resolution of 250 m using a machine learning method called random forest. Compared to the original 1 km LST, the downscaled 250 m LST showed a higher correlation between the proportion of impervious areas and mean land surface temperatures in Daegu by the administrative neighborhood unit. Hot spot analysis was then conducted using downscaled daytime and nighttime 250 m LST. The clustered hot spot areas for daytime and nighttime were compared and examined based on the land cover data provided by the Ministry of Environment. The high-value hot spots were relatively more clustered in industrial and commercial areas during the daytime and in residential areas at night. The thermal characterization of urban areas using the method proposed in this study is expected to contribute to the establishment of city and national security policies.

급격한 도시화와 이상기후의 증가로 도시의 기온이 꾸준히 올라가고 있으며, 한 도시 안에서도 열분포 양상이 지역마다 다르게 나타나고 있어 상세한 도시 열환경 분석이 요구된다. 최근에는 위성자료를 이용한 열환경 분석이 수행되고 있으나, 위성자료는 시 공간해상도의 Trade-off 관계로 인해 정밀한 분석에 어려움이 따른다. 이 연구는 2012년부터 2016년의 대구광역시 여름철 열환경 분석을 위해, MODIS(Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 1 km 공간해상도의 낮과 밤 지표면온도(낮$LST_{1km}$, 밤$LST_{1km}$)를 250 m 공간해상도(낮$LST_{250m}$, 밤$LST_{250m}$)로 상세화 시켰다. 상세화에는 기계학습 기법인 랜덤 포레스트(Random Forest)가 이용되었다. 향상된 $LST_{250m}$는 기존의 $LST_{1km}$에 비해, 대구광역시 행정동 기준 불투수면적 비율과 지표면온도가 높은 상관관계를 보여주었다. 다음으로, 상세화 된 낮과 밤$LST_{250m}$를 이용하여 Hot Spot 분석을 수행하였다. 대구광역시 행정동 중 낮과 밤 지표면온도가 Hot Spot으로 군집화된 영역을 비교하고, 토지피복도를 이용하여 그 원인을 분석했다. 낮에는 공업 및 상업지역의 비율이 높은 영역에서, 밤의 경우 주거지역의 비율이 높은 영역에서 높은 Hot Spot이 군집 되었다. 본 연구의 열환경 분석 접근은 향후 도시정책 수립 및 국민안전에 큰 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
