Abstract
The literature studies in tropical monsoon cities have analyzed the city as a whole, often resulting in generic recommendations without considering geographical subunits like municipal wards. This lack of localization limits the effectiveness of proposed solutions. Additionally, satellite images used in these studies were retrieved randomly from a season, potentially missing peak Land Surface Temperature (LST) conditions necessary for accurate analysis. Kerala, particularly during March to May, faces intense heatwaves due to natural factors such as the northward movement of the sun and surrounding oceanic humidity, leading to high temperatures and prolonged heatwaves. Cochin, a rapidly urbanizing city in Kerala, faces similar challenges with elevated surface temperatures impacting public health.
This thesis aims to comprehensively investigate LST in a tropical monsoon city, Kochi, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing data, and statistical methods
