Popis: The land surface temperature (LST) has been increased worldwide from time to time with the rapid increase of impervious surfaces such as built-up areas, parking lots, and asphalt and concrete roads. Several studies have examined the impacts of spatial dynamics of land use land cover (LULC) on the spatial variability of LST. However, there have not been systematic reviews conducted about the relationship between LULC and LST. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the relationship between LULC and LST with the main objective of synthesizing the relationship between LULC and LST using remote sensing data. An extensive literature search was conducted from the most familiar electronic databases such as Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar between 27/08/2021 and 28/08/2021. The studies that are focussed on the relationship between LULC and LST and/or the impacts of LULC change on the LST using remote sensing were included for the analysis. Besides, papers conducted over the last 5 years (January/2016 to August/2021) were selected in this systematic study since this study focused on the most recent studies. In this systematic review, 100 studies were included for the study analysis. Based on the analysis of this study, built-up land has the first highest LST from the thirteen LULC types. Besides, bare land has a higher LST next to built-up land. On the other side, snow cover has the lowest LST among the LULC types. Lastly, waterbodies have a lower LST compared to vegetation cover.
