In this study, cool island (CI) potentials as urban parks and green spaces of Antalya where it is in the Mediterranean climate belt were investigated by handling together with their peripheries’ urban morphology. Surface temperature data were obtained by remote sensing methods using Landsat 8 satellite images. In the study where the GIS techniques were used, the relationships between the cool islands and their surrounding urban texture were analyzed by statistical methods. The results indicate that while the density of adult trees in urban green spaces increases the cooling capacities and cooling distances of green spaces, the morphological characteristics of the peripheries of green spaces change their cooling distances. It is thought that these findings are constituted an important basis for the development of the climate-sensitive urban planning and urban design approach.
