The landscape modification ignites from socio-economic activities in a way that the native vegetation is replaced by other uses of the soil and heavy materials resulting in climate changes and thermal abnormality near the surface on the global scale. Usually, we calculate the difference between air temperatures by comparing usual spots in the rural and urban environment, identifying urban heat islands (UHI) and cold islands. However, the analysis of those phenomenons is limited because it doesn't contemplate the heterogeneity presented in the urban and rural landscapes. According to Stewart (2011), the morphology of the surface and the land cover can change the thermal range. Therefore, the author proposes a model to classify urban and rural landscapes called Local Climate Zones (LCZ). The main reason for classifying those is to provide organization and effective representation of the data on the surface (soil, vegetation, constructions, routes) in representative parameters and order between phenomenons by joining outbreaks events and common characteristics, achieving classes with relevant standards. Thus, this study aims to analyze the characteristics of the surface and air temperature in usual spots around the urban environment of Presidente Prudente -SP and compare them with a usual urban area, by applying Stewart's (2011) method, looking to analyze the heterogeneity of its surface morphologies, its land cover and its effects in the local climate.
