The purpose of this study is to investigate the thermal environment in Kumamoto and to develop the teaching materials on the urban heat island for science and environmental educations. Here, we discussed the long-range trend of annual mean temperatures at four meteorological stations in Kumamoto Prefecture by using continuous measurement of air temperature observed by the Japan Meteorological Agency since 1891, first. Next, the distributions of vegetation, surface temperature, and land cover in Kumamoto City in 1988, 1998, and 2010 were analyzed by using satellite remote sensing data. As the result, it was identified by the analysis of long-term air temperature data that the characteristics of urban climate were notable in Kumamoto City, and the impact of landdevelopment on the thermal environment were demonstrated by the satellite images clearly. Finally, we showed two types of teaching material on the thermal environment in Kumamoto.
