Managing the amount of greenspace (i.e., increasing or decreasing greenspace coverage) and optimizing greenspace configuration (i.e., increasing or decreasing greenspace fragmentation) are cost-effective approaches to cooling the environment. The spatial variations in their impacts on the thermal environment, as well as their relative importance, are of great importance for greenspace planning and management but are far from thoroughly understood. Taking Changsha, China as an example, this study investigated the spatial variations of the impacts of greenspace amount (measured as a percent of greenspace) and greenspace fragmentation (measured by edge density of greenspace) on the Landsat-derived land surface temperature (LST) using geographically weighted regression (GWR), and also uncovered the spatial pattern of their relative importance. The results indicated that: (1) Greenspace amount showed significantly negative relationships with LST for 91.73% of the study area. (2) Both significantly positive and negative relationships were obtained between greenspace fragmentation and LST, covering 14.90% and 13.99% of the study area, respectively. (3) The negative relationship between greenspace fragmentation and LST is mainly located in the urban areas, while the positive relationship appeared in the rural areas. (4) Greenspace amount made a larger contribution to regulating LST than greenspace fragmentation in 93.31% of the study area, but the latter had stronger roles in about 6.69% of the study area, mainly in the city center. These findings suggest that spatially varied greenspace planning and management strategies should be adopted to improve the thermal environment. |
