In rapidly industrializing regions, industrial zones (IZs) serve as key economic drivers but simultaneously induce thermal environmental degradation. This study analyzes the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use/land cover (LULC) changes and their thermal impacts in Bac Ninh Province over the 2006–2026 period. A total of 12 key IZs were identified and analyzed based on their specific spatial configurations. Utilizing multi-temporal Landsat satellite imagery, the research evaluates land development patterns and thermal responses at both macro (province-wide) and micro (IZ-specific) scales. The results indicate that the conversion of agricultural land to industrial land is the primary driver of rising land surface temperatures (LST). Furthermore, the emergence and expansion of new peripheral "industrial heat islands" have significantly restructured the province's thermal environment over time. These findings provide crucial scientific evidence to support policymakers in urban-industrial planning decisions, contributing to effective urban heat island (UHI) mitigation and sustainable living environments in Bac Ninh.
