Zusammenfassung

Urban heat islands are local areas where the temperature is much higher than in the vicinity and are a modern phenomenon that occurs mainly in highly developed areas, such as large cities. This effect has a negative impact on energy management in buildings and also has a direct impact on human health, especially for elderly people. With the advent of volunteered geographic information from private weather station networks, more high resolution data is now available within cities to better analyze this effect. However, such data sets are large and have heterogeneous characteristics requiring visual-interactive applications to support further analysis. We use machine learning methods to predict urban heat islands occurrences and utilize temporal and spatio-temporal visualizations to contextualize the emergence of urban heat islands to comprehend the influencing causes and their effects. Subsequently, we demonstrate the analysis capabilities of our application by presenting two use cases.
