Abstract

Considering high population and presence of hot and arid climate in most cities in Iran, creating optimum thermal comfort during the hot periods is necessary. An experiment was conducted to examine the effect of percentage coverage of vegetation and hard surfaces on changes of urban TEMPERATURE and HUMIDITY and their effect on thermal comfort of urban dwellers in three urban sites as well as Mashhad weather station was investigated. Climate and recorded data from Mashhad weather station and the three sites, Danesh crossroad, Moghadam-Tabarsi intersection and Mellat Park that were different in terms of percentage coverage of urban vegetation and hard surfaces were compared with each other. Also, THERMAL COMFORT INDICES.were calculated and the ranges of thermal comfort of the city dwellers in hottest period of 2011 were calculated by categorizing age and gender differences of the city dwellers. The results of statistical analysis and RayMan model outputs showed that TEMPERATURE and relative HUMIDITY of Danesh crossroad and Moghadam-Tabarsi intersection in comparison with those of weather station site and in particular Mellat Park were significantly higher and lower, respectively. Assessment of THERMAL COMFORT INDICES.of this temporal period showed that as time passes in this period, the potential of the days create little heat stress, strong and very strong heat stresses in urban dwellers, respectively. Mellat Park and weather station site were more appropriate places than Danesh cross road and Moghadam-Tabarsi intersection in terms of creation of thermal comfort for people.
