 This study investigated the effects of land use changes on land surface temperature, LST, in Dohaq City, Iraq. Three landsat images from 1990, 2000 and 2016 were analyzed using supervised classification to identify different land cover types. The results showed that the highest temperatures were found in barren lands and built-up areas, ranging from 47 degrees Celsius, 50 degrees Celsius, 56 degrees Celsius in 1990, 2000 and 2016 respectively. Lower temperatures were observed in water bodies and forests, ranging from 25 degrees Celsius, 26 degrees Celsius, 29 degrees Celsius in 1990, 2000 and 2016 respectively. Additionally, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI, Normalized Difference Built-Up Index, NDVI, Normalized Difference Barrenness Index, NDBAI, and Normalized Difference Water Index, NDWI, all correlated negatively with low temperatures, while NDBI and NDBAI correlated positively with high temperatures.
