IASSI Quarterly: Contributions to Indian Social ScienceSummary: Urban heat island (UHI) has become a matter of serious concern for all upcoming cities including Kolkata, West Bengal. The rapid urbanisation in this city lead to several environmental problems such as air pollution, water pollution, land subsidence as well as the problems from the presence of Urban Heat Island leading to a rise in general level of temperature on account of high energy consumption and other factors. The compound effect of heat island and global climate change is expected to create serious health impact and affect biodiversity in and around the city. This paper aims to bring about the actual picture of the impact of increased household energy consumption on Urban Heat Island for the city of Kolkata. It would be a maiden study of its kind on Kolkata. For the purpose of the analysis city of Kolkata has been divided into six regions as per the electricity consumption. Coefficient of variation, two way regression have been calculated to quantify the slow but gradual level of increase in average temperature intensifying the degree of Urban Heat and leading to harmful effects. – Reproduced
