Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study applied the idea of the ubiquitous-sensor network to the measurement of urban thermal environment, and aimed at monitor and visualize the urban thermal environment and environmental information for urban residents with high resolution using mobile phones and small sensors. The effectiveness of the system could be confirmed through the application of the system to the correction of environmental information in a residential area of Tokyo metropolitan area. The aim of this study could be achieved and the future development was shown.
