PosFAUUSP, 2023 Este artigo visa demonstrar o potencial do método de mapeamento Local Climate Zones (LCZ) aplicado a duas pesquisas urbanas com objetivos e escalas distintas. Originalmente desenvolvido para estudos de clima urbano, o método é aqui explorado em sua aplicação original e em estudos de alterações da cobertura vegetal urbana em uma Região Metropolitana e ...

Mimarlık Bilimleri ve Uygulamaları Dergisi (MBUD)Outdoor thermal comfort is the condition where individuals feel neither too hot nor too cold according to environmental conditions. This comfort is critical for people to be able to continue their physical activities and social interactions in open spaces. Research shows that increasing green spaces, tree cover and urban morphology can increase thermal

MAPPING LOCAL CLIMATE ZONES WITH MULTIPLE GEODATA AND THE OPEN DATA CUBE: INSIGHTS OF DOMAIN USER REQUIREMENTS AND OUTLOOKS OF THE LCZ-ODC PROJECT [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2023 Abstract. Rapid urbanization and climate change are intensifying the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon across cities worldwide. There is a pressing need to implement evidence-based mitigation and adaptation strategies as well as to develop tools for effectively measuring the impact of such actions on UHI patterns.
