Evaluation de la Qualite des Biotopes Urbains Par Teledetection (Evaluation of the Quality of Urban Biotypes by Remote Sensing)
A study to characterize the environmental quality of urban Montreal (Canada) using integration vegetation and thermal index data from LANDSAT 5 Thematic Mapper imagery is presented. The analysis gives discrimation of different vegetal (woods, lawns, cemeteries, golf courses) and mineralized (small and large built up residential zones) regions. The decrease in temperature from high vegetation index parks can reach 6 to 8 C in relation to strongly mineralized neighboring zones (town center). Emphasis is placed on two studies specifically concerning land use inventory and the quality of natural spaces on one hand and mapping of urban heat islands on the other. Distinct geographic areas could be distinguished by interrelating the two studies.
