Abstract
In this research, data related to Landsat satellite images (related to three time periods 1984, 2002, and 2022), land use/land cover, meteorological data, and biophysical table have been used. Also, in this research, data has been analyzed using GIS and the urban cooling model of InVEST software. The results showed that the metropolitan of Tabriz is in the best condition in 1984, that is, in the class 0.69 to 0.83%, 15.47%, in 2002, in the class 0.66 to 0.90%, 15.63%, and in 2022, in the class 0.69 to 0.83%, 13.93% was able to mitigate urban heat islands. In other words, the metropolitan of Tabriz did not perform well in mitigating heat islands in all three periods and is in the worst condition. In all three periods of 1984, 2002, and 2022, the pattern of urban heat island mitigation in Tabriz was consistent with the pattern of agricultural and green spaces land use of all three types of cluster, block, and fragmented patterns. The pattern of mitigation of heat islands in the metropolitan of Tabriz in 2022, unlike in 1984 and 2002, was more of a fragmented type and less of a cluster and block type,.The metropolitan of Tabriz has saved 226,640, 562,269, and 1,263,294 megawatt hours of energy due to the mitigation of urban heat islands due to urban green infrastructure in the years 1984, 2002, and 2022 respectively.
