Abstrakt: Monitoring microclimate variables within cities with high resolution and accuracy is crucial for enhancing urban resilience to climate change. Assessing intra-urban characteristics is essential for ensuring satisfactory living standards. This paper presents a comprehensive methodology for studying urban heat islands (UHIs) on a university campus, emphasizing the importance of multi-modal and multi-temporal data collection. The methodology integrates mobile surveys, stationary sensor networks, and drone-based thermal imaging, providing a detailed analysis of temperature variations within urban microenvironments. The preliminary findings confirm the presence of a UHI on the campus and identify several hotspots. This comprehensive approach enhances the accuracy and reliability of UHI assessments, offering a cost-effective, fine-resolution approach that facilitates more effective urban planning and heat mitigation strategies.
