<abstract>
<p>Subsurface temperatures in Bangkok, where population and density increase
rapidly, were analyzed to evaluate the effects of surface warming due to
urbanization. The magnitude of surface warming evaluated from subsurface
temperature in Bangkok was 1.7&amp;deg;C which agreed with meteorological
data during the last 50 years. The depth apart from steady thermal gradient,
which shows an indicator of the magnitude of surface warming due to
additional heat from urbanization, was deeper at the center of the city than
in the suburb areas of Bangkok. In order to separate surface warming effects
into global warming effect and urbanization effect, analyses of subsurface
temperature have been done depending on the distance from the city center.
The results show that the expansion of urbanization in Bangkok reaches up to
80 km from the city center.</p>
