Dhaka city has been expanding rapidly by urbanization process to meet up the needs for increasing population in Bangladesh. The study has been conducted to monitor and correlate the changes of land use-land cover (LULC), land surface temperature (LST) and urban heat island (UHI) of Dhaka city from 1989 to 2015 using four sets of Landsat TM, ETM+ and OLI/TIRS images. The LULC result showed that the water body and vegetation was declined respectively about 40.06% and 39.81% due to the increased urbanization of about 56.66% in the Dhaka city from 1989 to 2015. The bared land was decreased about 20% from 1989 to 2000 due to urbanization of cultivated or vegetated coverage area, but it increased again about 18% from 2000 to 2015 because of landfilling of low land or water bodies for urbanization. On the other hand, LST result showed that the ranges of LST obtained about 48.18°C to 54°C and 15°C to 25°C from 1989 to 2015 respectively in terms of maximum and minimum value. The LST found highest in 2010 and lowest in 1989 both in terms of their maximum and minimum. The number of urban heat islands area observed four in 1989, eleven in 2000 sixteen in 2010 and nine in 2015 from this study. That means, the higher land surface temperature producing zones or urban heat islands have been expanded throughout the city during this period. The study showed that the rapidly increased urban growth caused the huge loss of vegetation, bared and water bodies in and around the Dhaka city.
