| Abstract | Rising temperatures caused by rapid urbanization and climate change have become a significant threat to human health and nutrition worldwide. This study focuses on Salem city, where impermeable man-made structures have replaced natural vegetation, creating local thermal zones that can cause irreparable harm to urban health. To assess the thermal nature of Salem city, this study analyzed the urban heat island (UHI), urban hot spots (UHS), and urban thermal field Variation Index. The result of the study highlights the urgent need to address the expanding thermal zones in Salem city to ensure a sustainable habitat and improve urban health. Urbanization's overuse of water and vegetation resources was identified as a key factor contributing to the worsening temperature scenario. By understanding the rising temperature of the city, urban planners can create thermal comfort zones, mitigate the UHI effect, and provide eco-friendly smart city planning to promote healthy nutrition in urban areas. © 2024 Elsevier B.V. |
