Highest confidenceR1 · Urban Heat Island (0.70)

Evidence Profile — High confidence

Weakest-link rule: overall confidence follows the lowest-scoring applicable dimension (Good, from "Spatial robustness").

Observation completenessExcellent

12 Sentinel-2 / 8 Landsat cloud-free scenes - at least double the minimum (3/3).

Spatial robustnessGood

6 of 8 flagged pair(s) remained significant after spatial correction. 13 further pair(s) share input data and are descriptive only.

Temporal representativenessGood

SUHI stayed within 0.4°C across 3 summers (this run + 2 prior year(s)) - consistent across 3 years — approaching, but still short of, the 30-year WMO climate-normal standard (Landsat 8/9's 2013 launch is the practical ceiling on how far back this check can go).

Data freshnessGood

Analysis window ends 14 months ago.

Hazard

R1 Urban Heat Island Urban Heat Island (moderate) Triggered 0.70
SUHI 6.454 °C threshold 4
threshold is self-calibrated for this city (max of the 2°C literature baseline and 1.5× this run's own non-urban temperature std dev (σ=3.54°C)), not a flat constant applied to every climate. The calibrated value (5.3°C) is capped at 4°C so that a noisy run cannot hide a genuine heat island; severe from 8°C.
LST_urban 37.187 °C
LST_nonUrban 30.733 °C
Monitor and consider gradual cooling interventions - SUHI here is 6.5°C, above the heat-island threshold (4°C) but below the severe threshold (8°C).
R10 Dangerous Heat Index Heat index - extreme caution Triggered 0.63
HEAT_INDEX_urban 34.645 °C threshold 27
NOAA/NWS Heat Index (Rothfusz regression), from ERA5-Land 2m air temperature + dewpoint - a public, documented formula and public comfort/danger thresholds, not a per-city calibration. Resolution caveat: ERA5-Land's native grid is ~11km, far coarser than the satellite-derived indicators elsewhere in this report - treat this as a city-wide climatological reading, not a fine-grained map the way LST/NDVI are. The maximum is taken over the LOCAL hours 11:00-18:59 of the analysis window.
Heat index sits in NOAA's "extreme caution" band at 34.6°C - not yet dangerous, but worth factoring into outdoor-activity guidance during the hottest part of the day. Cross-check against R8 (cooling capacity) to see which areas would benefit most from added shade or water features.
R11 Flood Risk No significant flood risk in the components assessed (river flood hazard not assessed) Below threshold 0.00
assessment_coverage 1 hazard type(s) not assessed
Not assessed this run (no data): river flood hazard. A result of 'no significant risk' only covers the components that were actually evaluated.
COASTAL_FLOOD_RISK_INDEX 0 index (0-1) threshold 0.15
Deltares coastal flood hazard (100-year return period, present-day sea level, GTSMv3.0 tide/storm surge model, externally validated) x population exposure - coastal flooding only, doesn't cover river flooding (see FLOOD_RISK_INDEX for that).
PLUVIAL_RUNOFF_RISK 0.038 index (0-1) threshold 0.5
impervious surface fraction x terrain flatness - a proxy for urban flash-flood/stormwater risk in areas with no mapped river hazard, not itself an external hazard product like the river/coastal evidence above.
City-wide average is below the alert level, but this rule is triggered in 3 of the 15 priority zones listed below - the average hides local hot spots.

Exposure

R5 Rapid Recent Urban Expansion Detectable recent urban growth Triggered 0.45
built_expansion_km2 1.308 km2 (GHS-BUILT-S, current epoch minus a baseline epoch ~10y earlier - same source, two points in time)
built_area_km2 12.535 km2 (GHS-BUILT-S, epoch matched to this run's analysis window - not a fixed 2019 baseline)
expansion_ratio 10.4 %
Detectable urban growth over the last decade near this run's epoch (10.4% growth ratio) - worth tracking in future runs.
R2 High Population Heat Exposure Heat exposure below the alert level (relative index) Below threshold 0.00
HEI_urban 0.313 index (0-1) threshold 0.36
HEI = normalised land-surface temperature x normalised population: a RELATIVE index whose alert levels are percentiles of a reference sample of cities, not an absolute health limit. Being below it does not mean the city is not hot - read it together with R1 (heat island) and R10 (heat index). It saturates at 1.0 where LST is 40 °C or more and the population is at or above the 98th percentile, so zones at 1.0 cannot be ranked against each other by this index. PROVISIONAL threshold: calibrated on an earlier definition or input of this indicator; confidence capped at 0.6 until it is re-calibrated on real runs.
built_urban 0.963 fraction (Impact Observatory land cover, 'built' class)
City-wide average is below the alert level, but this rule is triggered in 8 of the 15 priority zones listed below - the average hides local hot spots.

Vulnerability

R9 Low Urban Compactness Severely sprawling/fragmented urban shape Triggered 0.60
urban_compactness_index 0.088 index (0-1, Polsby-Popper) threshold 0.3
Shape is measured on the consolidated urban footprint (gaps up to 100 m bridged, enclosed holes filled, fragments under 10 ha dropped), not on the speckled pixel mask. The main built-up body is 50% of the urban footprint and its own compactness is 0.04; the index above also includes outlying villages, so it changes with how the urban mask is built. PROVISIONAL threshold: calibrated on an earlier definition or input of this indicator; confidence capped at 0.6 until it is re-calibrated on real runs.
urban_patch_count 45 count
The built-up area is elongated, irregular or scattered across many disconnected patches rather than one consolidated footprint (compactness index here: 0.09) - this is a different signal from R5 (which only measures how much area was added). Sprawling/fragmented shape usually means longer infrastructure and service lines per resident; worth checking whether new growth (R5, if triggered) is making this better or worse.
R3 Poor Green Space Accessibility Limited green space access Triggered 0.52
pct_pop_near_green_300m 48.425 % threshold 50
standard EU threshold (Eurostat/EEA): access = under 300m from green space
Access here is 48.4%, below the EU standard - identify densely populated areas with no green space within 300m.
R7 Low Tree Canopy Coverage Critical tree canopy deficit Triggered 0.50
TCC_urban_pct 1.815 % threshold 5.8
Impact Observatory land-cover "trees" class (10 m, hard classification), as the mean share of trees within about 100 m of the built-up pixels of the urban mask (not inside the built-up pixels themselves, where a hard class makes it ~0 by construction). The alert level is a RELATIVE threshold (median of a 15-run calibration sample), not a planning target: the 3-30-300 guideline (Konijnendijk 2023) suggests at least 30% canopy per neighbourhood, so a city that does not trigger this rule can still be far below that target. PROVISIONAL threshold: calibrated on an earlier definition or input of this indicator; confidence capped at 0.6 until it is re-calibrated on real runs.
Tree canopy is close to absent over the urban area (1.8% cover) - prioritise street trees and canopy planting, not just park-level green space (see R3/R6 for where people actually are relative to any green at all).
R8 Low Cooling Capacity Critical cooling capacity deficit Triggered 0.48
CCI_urban 0.026 index (0-1) threshold 0.076
CCI = 0.3*NDVI_norm + 0.3*tree canopy + 0.2*water - 0.2*impervious (land-cover "built" class), clamped 0-1 - the weights are a starting judgement call, not fitted. Tree canopy and water in this formula are ~100 m neighbourhood means around each pixel, not the share inside the pixel itself. PROVISIONAL threshold: calibrated on an earlier definition or input of this indicator; confidence capped at 0.6 until it is re-calibrated on real runs.
Very little vegetation, canopy or water relative to impervious surface (Cooling Capacity Index here: 0.03) - this area has almost no passive cooling infrastructure. Cross-check against R1/R2 for whether it also runs hot in practice.
R4 Green Space Fragmentation Fragmented green space network Triggered 0.46
green_largest_patch_index_pct 17.708 % threshold 20
Measured on green space inside the urban footprint plus 300 m (the forest and farmland around the city are left out); access in R3 still counts all green space. For comparison, over the whole analysed area the largest patch is 81% of the green space. PROVISIONAL threshold: calibrated on an earlier definition or input of this indicator; confidence capped at 0.6 until it is re-calibrated on real runs.
green_patch_count 238 count
The existing green space is scattered across many small patches (the largest single patch covers just 17.7% of the green network) with no dominant one - instead of new isolated patches, prioritise corridors linking the existing ones together.
R6 Population-Weighted Green Deficit Vegetation adequate relative to population Below threshold 0.00
GDI_urban 0.175 index (0-1) threshold 0.18
GDI = (1 - normalised NDVI) x normalised population - only high where both are true together: little vegetation AND a lot of people
City-wide average is below the alert level, but this rule is triggered in 7 of the 15 priority zones listed below - the average hides local hot spots.

Both p-values are Bonferroni-corrected for the number of rule pairs tested this run. "Survives" means the co-occurrence held up after a spatial-permutation correction (not just a naive Fisher's exact test) - neighbouring zones are spatially autocorrelated by construction, so a naive test alone would overstate significance. Moran's I (0 = scattered/random, approaching 1 = strongly clustered) is shown for each rule's own mask independently - it's a diagnostic explaining WHY a naive test can overstate significance for a highly self-clustered rule, not itself a significance test; "n/a" means it couldn't be computed for that mask (too few populated cells, or a degenerate mask).

† These two rules are built from the same input data (for example land cover, temperature or population), so they overlap by construction. The overlap shows WHERE problems stack up, but it is not independent confirmation that they are linked.

Priority Zones

Zones below were flagged because they individually cross a scientific threshold for at least one phenomenon. Location is described relative to the nearest named street or intersection — raw coordinates are shown only when no street reference could be found nearby.

Applies to every zone listed below (city-wide, same text everywhere)
R10 — Heat index - extreme caution (confidence 0.63)
Heat index sits in NOAA's "extreme caution" band at 34.6°C - not yet dangerous, but worth factoring into outdoor-activity guidance during the hottest part of the day. Cross-check against R8 (cooling capacity) to see which areas would benefit most from added shade or water features.
R9 — Severely sprawling/fragmented urban shape (confidence 0.6)
The built-up area is elongated, irregular or scattered across many disconnected patches rather than one consolidated footprint (compactness index here: 0.09) - this is a different signal from R5 (which only measures how much area was added). Sprawling/fragmented shape usually means longer infrastructure and service lines per resident; worth checking whether new growth (R5, if triggered) is making this better or worse.
R7 — Critical tree canopy deficit (confidence 0.54)
Tree canopy is close to absent over the urban area (0.0% cover) - prioritise street trees and canopy planting, not just park-level green space (see R3/R6 for where people actually are relative to any green at all).
R4 — Fragmented green space network (confidence 0.46)
The existing green space is scattered across many small patches (the largest single patch covers just 17.7% of the green network) with no dominant one - instead of new isolated patches, prioritise corridors linking the existing ones together.
R5 — Detectable recent urban growth (confidence 0.45)
Detectable urban growth over the last decade near this run's epoch (10.4% growth ratio) - worth tracking in future runs.

R8 — Critical cooling capacity deficit (confidence 0.53)
Very little vegetation, canopy or water relative to impervious surface (Cooling Capacity Index here: 0.0) - this area has almost no passive cooling infrastructure. Cross-check against R1/R2 for whether it also runs hot in practice.

R1 — Urban Heat Island (severe) (confidence 0.95)
Prioritise cooling interventions (shading, reflective surfaces, vegetation) in the hottest urban zones - this zone's SUHI is 11.3°C, above this city's calibrated severe threshold of 8°C.
R3 — Critical green space deficit (confidence 0.9)
Only 0.0% of this zone's population has green access within 300m (critical threshold: 25%) - high priority for pocket parks in the uncovered areas.
R6 — Critical green deficit (confidence 0.71)
Vegetation is close to absent in a densely populated area (Green Deficit Index here: 0.62) - a resident here can be technically "within 300m" of a park (see R3) and still live surrounded by almost no greenery day to day. Prioritise street trees and small green infrastructure directly in the built fabric, not just a park at the neighbourhood edge.
R2 — Critical heat exposure (confidence 0.6)
Areas that are dense AND hot at the same time - a health risk during heatwaves. Heat Exposure Index here: 1.0 (critical threshold: 0.38). Top priority for cooling + thermal shelter.
R8 — Critical cooling capacity deficit (confidence 0.53)
Very little vegetation, canopy or water relative to impervious surface (Cooling Capacity Index here: 0.0) - this area has almost no passive cooling infrastructure. Cross-check against R1/R2 for whether it also runs hot in practice.
