The parameters of urban form, such as urban surfaces and their changes,
urban geometry and canyons, are obtained and used in many scientific studies
(Garuma 2018; Croce and Vettorato 2021) and studies of official institutions
(NASA, USGS; United States Geological Survey). The monitoring of the land
use and land cover changes (LULCC) has also been frequently performed
in recent years in urban climate studies, especially using aerial and satellite
photographs (Kaplan 2019; Tonyaloğlu 2019; Güneş et al. 2021).
