Climate changes are becoming real challenges. Highly populated developing countries will be the most affected victims. West Bank has limited space and suffers from a notable temperature increase. This paper studies the relationship between the restricted but rapid urbanization within limited spaces in some West Bank communities and the temperature changes between 1997-2019. Geographic Information System (GIS) has been used in this study to conduct spatial analysis between urban areas and temperature. The process involves five steps: First, define the limitations on Palestinian cities expansions spatially. Second, define the urban factors that may affect atmospheric temperature. Third, define the temperature changes during the study period. Fourth, use spatial statistical tool (Ordinary Least Squares (OLS)). Finally, analyse the results. The used data are: Spatial data about limited urban spaces for Palestinians in West Bank, spatial data about Palestinian urban population within the study period, spatial data about the urban factors and temperature changes during the study period. The results show that about 48% of the changes in mean atmospheric temperature in West Bank may be interpreted by the studied urban factors. The high density increases together with the economic and administrative activities factors have the strongest effects on atmospheric temperature increases.
