This study investigated the effect of urban open and green areas on land surface temperature in Kayseri Metropolitan City Center. Satellite images obtained from the USGS through the Earth Explorer website were used. The urban heat island effect of surface temperatures was investigated in two separate periods, August 2018 and August 2023. The remote sensing
method was used to determine the surface temperature in the study. NDVI and LST data were correlated to determine the surface temperature. In the study, bare lands that do not belong to any land use class in terms of land cover, organized industrial zones consisting entirely of industrial structures, and areas such as airports, which do not have vegetative material and consist entirely of the concrete surface, were determined as the areas with the highest temperature values in terms of surface temperature. It was observed that there was a difference of 8 degrees in 2018 and 5 degrees in 2023 between residential areas with gardens and park areas. Another important finding of the study is that park area with dense vegetation, and cultivated and planted areas have the lowest surface temperature in terms of surface temperature. It is concluded that this difference between residential areas and park areas in 2018-2023 is caused by the maximum and minimum temperature differences during the day taken as the basis for measurement, and that the presence of green areas in cities and their distribution within the city play an important role in reducing the surface temperature.
