Combinative Study of Urban Heat Island in Ascoli Piceno City with Remote Sensing and CFD Simulation—Climate Change and Urban Health Resilience—CCUHRE Project

This paper presents a new methodological approach for analysing the impacts of climate change on urban habitat and improving quality life citizens. The study falls within diagnostic phase Climate Change Urban Health Resilience (CCUHRE) research project applied to rationalist neighbourhood Monticelli, suburb Ascoli Piceno (Italy). tests innovative multidisciplinary cognitive tools quantify create refined risk maps combining remote sensing, spatial data, satellite images, thermal fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations. These created an atlas green areas surfaces using scientific indexes that describe relationship between form heat type ground materials. information yielded by geoprocessing will allow critical aspects in context be addressed with site-specific strategies. In fact, through downscaling, it is possible analyse dynamics characteristics most significant identify related weather/climate characteristics, perceptual scenarios, stressed regions. results have provided dataset defines degree vulnerability identifies exposed risk.
