abstract = {Global warming caused by greenhouse
gas emissions, transportation, and the transformation
of land use caused by population growth is a
critical problem that requires immediate and urgent
interventions, especially in popular tourism destinations
where the impact on quality of life is intense.
In recent years, while new urban developments have
been carried out for higher education institutions, less
attention has been paid to the environmental implications
of such expansions. Surprisingly, despite a
growing interest in climate change action in educational
institutions, little is known about the link
between Land Surface Temperature (LST) variability
and Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) of university
campuses and their host communities. To fill the
gaps mentioned earlier, this study aims to provide a
comprehensive analysis of the spatial and temporal
variability of the SUHI and the LST within a university
campus and its surrounding urban environment.
Using Sentinel 3 images and the TsHARP algorithm,
the LST was determined, the SUHI was calculated,
and the hot spots were obtained in an educational tourism hub; Famagusta, Cyprus. The Panel Data
and ANOVA techniques were used for the subsequent
analysis of the findings. Findings indicated that due
to its low-rise buildings and large green areas, the
studied campus not only had little contribution to the
creation of SUHI but even minimized its effects on
the urban areas attached to it. These findings provide
valuable implications for authorities in standardizing
criteria for future university establishments.},
