Özet: As well known, Land Surface Temperature (LST) is one of the essential parameters in evapotranspiration estimation, urban climate, vegetation monitoring and climate change. The main objective of this study was to retrieve spatial distribution of LST for the province of İzmir, Turkey using Landsat 8 satellite imagery which was acquired on August 23, 2019. The new generation of Landsat 8 has a new instrument called Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) that captures the temperature of the earth's surface in two bands. In this particular study, one of the most popular methods, Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) method, was employed. According to the results, the low temperatures were retrieved in İzmir Bird Paradise and Tahtali Dam around 10 °C while high temperatures were found in bare land with temperatures around 34 °C. It was also determined that temperatures in forest areas were ranging from 17 °C to 25 °C according to tree density.
