The Thermal Comfort of Local Climate Zone: in the Case of Hot-Humid Adana City

摘要

In recent years, urban heat island studies have come to the fore with urbanization and the need to provide thermal comfort has emerged to create livable cities. In this context, the necessity of determining Local Climate Zone (LCZ), climate-based classification techniques in cities, has been revealed. The study includes the climate-based classification of Adana's urban settlement texture located in the hot, humid climate zone and the statistical comparison of these classes' thermal comfort conditions. The Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) index was used to determine the thermal comfort and the analyzes were carried out with the ENVI-met microclimate software. This study was carried out in 4 stages including, i) mapping of the LCZ classes of the study area, ii) determination of the thermal.....
