hot. They also make the city hotter than the countryside, causing the "urban heat-island effect(城市热岛效应)". On a green roof, however, with plants and water, the temperature changes a little. Also, a green roof takes in rain water and protects the city drainage system(排水系统). ▲...
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has identified the “increasing frequency and intensity of extreme heat, including the urban heat island effect” as a relevant hazard for certain age groups (i.e., elderly, the very young, people with chronic health problems), which creates a risk ...
Heat islands are places in cities with significantly higher temperatures than more rural surrounding areas. This phenomenon, known as theheat island effect, occurs more intensely in places where greenspace has been converted to pavement and other human-made materials. These surfaces, such as roadways...
The most studied and well-documented urban climatic effect is the urban heat island.The term simply refers to the fact that temperatures within cities are generally higher than in rural areas.The heat island is evident when temperature data are examined.For example, the distribution of average min...
The morphology of heat islands is significantly influenced by urbanization, meaning that heat islands within the areas studied will only continue to grow. Urban population and electricity consumption are the socioeconomic factors that exerted the greatest influence on the size of heat islands in China...
2e). Phoenix, for instance, experiences a soil water dominant process (∂Ru/∂SWC > ∂Ru/∂Tsoil), meaning that the Ru improved by soil water outpaces the Ru reduced by cooling. However, other cities, such as Chicago, IL, New York, NY, Philadelphia, PA, and Baltimore, MD...
landscape metrics and statistical results are less helpful to landscape design of the unclear ecological meaning.Simulation methods provided convictive results,but they were scarcely done from the view of landscape pattern.As a result,less landscape pattern parameter was put into or derived from ...
Urban areas experience the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which affects the thermal comfort and energy consumption of buildings. These consequences could vary depending on the socio-economic status of the neighbourhoods. Few studies have investigated how UHI affects socio-economically contrasting distri...
Indeed, other work examining how green space quantity scales with city size in Southeast Asia11,16 has found that UGS scales sublinearly, meaning that UGS increases more slowly than city size. Whereas some studies show negative correlations between city size and UGS6,11,16, counter-evidence ...
While heat mitigation is crucial to achieving sustainable urban development, an inadequate understanding of the evolution of the urban thermal environment (UTE) and its relationship with socio-ecological systems (SESs) constrains the development of effec
