and Max_LST. However, there was a very weak relationship in the negative
direction between GRASS_T and Max_LST (r= -0,116, p<0,05). This meant that
as GRASS_T and Grass_M decrease, Max_LST increase (Table 4).
Normalized difference vegetation index
As the presence of vegetation increases, there is a relationship in the
negative direction between Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI),
whose value got closer to 1, and A_LST (r= -0,321, p<0,01) and Min_LST(r=
-0,309, p<0,05), and a weak relationship in the positive direction with SD_LST
(r=0,285, p<0,01). As the NDBI value increases, LST decreases and SD_LST
increases. Additionally, it was not possible to identify a statistically meaningful
relationship with 95% reliability between NDBI and Max_LST (Table 4).
