Effects of Production–Living–Ecological Space Patterns Changes on Land Surface Temperature

Rapid economic and social development has triggered competition for limited land space from different industries, accelerating the evolution of Beijing’s urban landscape types. The increase in impermeable surfaces and the decrease in ecological land have led to an increase in the impact on the urban thermal environment. Since previous studies have mainly focused on the impact of a single urban landscape on the urban thermal environment and lacked an exploration of the combined impact of multiple landscapes, this study applied standard deviation ellipses, Pearson correlation analysis, land surface temperature (LST) profile analysis, and hot spot analysis to comprehensively explore the influence of the evolving production–living–ecological space (PLES) pattern on LST. The results show that the average LST of various spaces continued to increase before 2009 and decreased slowly after 2009, with the highest average temperature being living space, followed by production space, and the lowest average temperature being ecological space for each year. The spatiotemporal shift path of the thermal environment is consistent with the shift trajectory of the living space center of gravity in Beijing; LST is positively correlated with living space (LS) and negatively correlated with production space (PS) and ecological space (ES). LST is positively correlated with LS and negatively correlated with PS and ES. Influenced by the change in bedding surface type, the longitudinal thermal profile curve of LST shows a general trend of “low at both ends and high in the middle”. With the change in land space type, LST fluctuates significantly, and the horizontal thermal profile curve shows a general trend of “first decreasing, followed by increasing and finally decreasing”. In addition, the hot spot analysis shows that the coverage area of very hot spots, hot spots, and warm spots increased by 0.72%, 1.13%, and 2.03%, respectively, in the past 30 years, and the main expansion direction is southeast, and very cold spots and cold spots are distributed in the northwest ecological space, and the area change first decreases and then increases.
