Summary/Abstract: Global climate change has been discussed with increasing focus over the recent years. Air temperature changes, also known as global warming, are one of the main effects of global climate change. Therefore, our towns and cities are likely to experience major changes in terms of air temperatures and the risk of heat island occurrence will be rising over time. Towns and cities should begin to prepare for this phenomenon, monitor the situation and propose such measures that would mitigate climate change impacts on the urban environment and urban population or at least would not add to the existing adverse impacts. This paper presents possible ways of identifying heat islands by thermo vision monitoring in an example of two selected public spaces in Hradec Králové – náměstí 28. října and Riegrovo náměstí. This paper is to presents possible ways of identifying heat islands by thermovision monitoring in an example of two selected public spaces in Hradec Králové. The paper based on field observation via thermovision monitoring with pilotless aircraft – drons. The measurements clearly show that materials have major impact on public space climate even in relatively mild climate.
