This study assesses the impacts of urban configurations on thermal perceptions in Flat Bandar Tasik Selatan (FBTS) and Surya Magna (SM) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It aims to understand outdoor spaces. The addresses following research questions: (1) Do influence comfort? (2) also have significant perceptions? We mapped out sites their configurations. considered on-site measurements environmental co...

Abstract The chapter addresses the urban regeneration of an area starting from multi-step interventions in a small square. These consider multifaceted point view which respects local ecological processes while ensuring that transit and other economic social functions take place. This approach encompasses solutions respond to city scale needs terms stormwater management conditions thermal comfor...

The urban microclimate is gradually changing due to climate change, extreme weather conditions, urbanization, and the heat island effect. In such an altered environment, outdoor thermal comfort can have a strong impact on public health quality of life in areas. this study, three main areas Serbia were selected: Belgrade (Central Serbia), Novi Sad (Northern Niš (Southern Serbia). focus was tempo...

Climate change is becoming a crucial factor to consider within human activities and the building sector particularly influenced by aspects of internal comfort energy. In Italy, great attention has been paid energy refurbishment buildings. However, such interventions are mostly focused on reducing heating consumption, thus neglecting summer season performance. Moreover, climate barely considered...

To date, due to climate change, heatwaves are more frequent, with greater intensity and duration resulting in deleterious impacts on human health. be able manage quantify the health, it is crucial define them implement policy preventive measures. However, relative of a location: The same meteorological conditions can constitute heatwave one place but not another. Due different climatic conditio...

A behavioural-based approach can be used to assess how users’ reactions surrounding environmental conditions alter the urban Built Environment (BE) risk Slow Onset Disasters (SLODs). Public Open Spaces (POSs) in BE are relevant scenarios, due micro-climate-related stress, vulnerabilities (e.g., age, health frailty) and exposure time. Simulation methods support risk-assessment, but results gener...

Abstract Climate change impacts biodiversity, the use of public spaces, as well building energy demand, and health in Mediterranean cities. The courtyard is a common typology private/public open space area, which, according to previous research, substantially affected by climate change. main reasons are be found limited ventilation significant amount radiation received upper surfaces. A prelimi...

In light of globally increasing temperatures, accentuated in cities by the urban heat island effect, planners and designers are looking for new, quantitative methods to assess performance their designs terms ecosystem services provided vegetation. Among these services, improved microclimate conditions particularly important human thermal comfort health. this study, an scene tropical city Singap...

Regarding the predisposition of individuals to change when confronted with future climate scenarios, it is necessary understand perception groups under analysis and how engage society collectively act toward mitigation. A question remains be answered: ensure that people engage, participate, gain awareness undergoing problem urban poses for cities’ management? This research intends contribute so...
