Özet:

 

This study examines
the impact of three different urban green areas with various types of plant
cover on human thermal comfort in the Bornova district by measuring some climatic
parameters within the parks and their immediate surroundings/built-up areas in
a typical hot summer month (July 2017). The measurements were analyzed and
interpreted according to the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) index
and the mean radiant temperature (Tmrt) by RayMan software model. The
results showed that a green area with good ventilation and a deciduous tree cover
with large leafs has a positive effect on human comfort especially during the
night. The results also emphasize the importance of wind velocity, plant (tree)
cover type and the physical characteristics of the neighbouring area as
effective tools for human comfort.
