Development of an Interactive Web Mapping System for Monitoring and Mitigating Urban Heat Islands: A Case Study of Oran, Tlemcen, and Chlef

In modern cities, Urban Heat Islands (UHI) present a major challenge for sustainable development and environmental management. This phenomenon, characterized by a significant temperature differences between urban and rural areas, negatively impacts public health, energy consumption, and biodiversity. In response to these challenges, public authorities and researchers are increasingly interested in utilizing advanced technologies to better understand and mitigate the effects of UHIs.In Algeria, the integration of climatic and environmental data into innovative tools, such as Webmapping systems, plays a crucial role in monitoring and managing these heat islands. In this work, an interactive platform is developed, with the aim to allow for a detailed, real-time visualization of urban temperatures and climate dynamics, enabling informed decision-making by local authorities, urban planners, and researchers. Webmapping, as a tool of territorial intelligence, helps analyze and plan strategies for mitigating UHI effects, contributing to a more resilient urban development in the face of climate challenges.
