Abstract

The present work has as proposal to analyze the variation of the temperature, and the distribution of green spaces in the intra-urban sectors of the city of Ribeirão Preto, through the verification of the temperature of apparent surface derived from the wave-shortness of the infra-red ray for the thermal images caught by sensor ETM+ of satellite LANDSAT-7 in band 6 (março/2001), and of data collected in surface per meteorological station digital furniture in the same period and throughout the same year, similar of that if it gets given that they can subsidize and collaborate with the question of the urban thermal comfort in the elaboration of the Director Plan for the city of Ribeirão Preto.
