The current work has focused on evaluating and presenting the spatial relationship among different land use and land cover patterns and their thermal responses, in order to understand the spatial constitution of the urban heat island (UHI) in the municipality of São Paulo-SP. For that, descriptive and comparative analyses were used, followed by an integrated descriptive analysis. The variables tested in the spatial analysis were the Leaf Area Index, surface temperature, land use and the thermal classification of the UHI. Urban environments lacking vegetation, especially those occupied by industrial and commercial activities, presented a stronger intensity of the UHI, with temperature differences of up to 8° C. The results highlighted the importance of green urban spaces for the decrease of temperature in the urban environments of the São Paulo municipality.
