             abstract = "With climate change expected in the coming decades, scientists 
                         suggest that one of the consequences is the increase in average 
                         temperatures and also the increasing number of hot days, which 
                         will enhance the thermal discomfort in the population. Therefore, 
                         this study aimed to identify the main thermal variations in the 
                         urban area of Ilha Solteira-SP, Brazil. The methodology involved 
                         the transformation of Landsat TM data into values of surface 
                         temperature and their comparison to distinct urban land use. The 
                         results showed the presence of variations in surface temperatures 
                         in the different regions of the municipality. The areas that have 
                         higher amount of vegetation, such as the forest area of the zoo 
                         and the recreation area, showed surface temperatures between 21 
                         degrees C and 23 degrees C. The areas that showed higher 
                         temperatures (41 degrees C to 44 degrees C) were located in the 
                         regions in which occur the largest percentages of classes 
                         {"}buildings{"} and {"}paved-building{"}, thus characterizing the 
                         phenomenon of heat islands. These results could be used to support 
                         urban planning strategies to minimize the effects of thermal 
                         discomfort of the areas identified as heat islands.",
