Abstract


The conversion of vegetation land cover contributes to the retention of solar radiation in the environment, resulting in the formation of the urban heat island. This study analyses the distribution pattern of urban heat island in the traditional core of Ibadan amidst the rapid urbanization experienced. The remote sensing tool was used to analyse the trend of land surface temperature, normalized difference built-up index, and normalized difference vegetation index for the traditional Ibadan's core between the year 2000 and the year 2020. This reveals that increasing built-up areas will continue to strengthen the effects of urban heat island in the traditional core of Ibadan, while vegetated land covers will weaken the effects of urban heat island. This is because anthropogenic activities resulting from rapid urbanisation has adversely altered the natural landscape in the traditional core of Ibadan. This alteration manifests in converting vegetation land covers into physical developments and other impervious surfaces by the increasing urban population. Thus, increasing the land surface temperature. The maximum average land surface temperature of 35.34℃, 36.62℃ and 31.86℃ were record for the years 2000, 2013 and 2020 respectively. This study further recommends that urban greening and proper urban planning should be encouraged in the traditional core of Ibadan.
