| Research Abstract |
This study is concerned with an open space plan that is effective for mitigating the urban heat island effect. In Asian countries that are experiencing rapid population increase, the concentration of population in large cities is particularly significant and the accompanying environmental deterioration has become a serious urban problem. In this study, targeting Beijing, Bangkok, Shanghai, Tokyo, Osaka, local air temperature data as well as remote sensing-derived open space distribution, surface temperature and altitude data were analyzed. As a result, the air temperature prediction equation was derived and the air temperature prediction map was generated. By generating the air temperature prediction map for both pre- and post-implementation of our open space plan using the equation and by comparing them, this study were able to simulate changes in the urban heat island effect brought about by the plan. This study were thus able to develop an evaluation method on open space plans for mitigating the heat island effect.
