“…The study was conducted in the western peripheral areas of precincts 8 and 10 and Putrajaya Boulevard (precincts 1, 2, and 4). The climate zones classified by Stewart and Oke [27] were used to classify and analyze these precincts which were adopted in several studies [28][29][30]. These results are consistent with previous studies [2,22].…”

The study examines the effects of heat islands on Putrajaya City and evaluates the planned city features effect since climate policies were not deliberatively considered during the planning process. The aim of this study is to explore the effect of air temperature on the different urban forms and residential areas in the completed construction precincts of Putrajaya Boulevard. The investigation was performed using a mobile survey method with a data logger three times a day, during the morning, noon, and afternoon time, for three days during the hottest month in July 2012. It was found that there is no significant difference in variation of the air temperature between the different city features, and urban typology blocks, and the maximum air temperature was 37 °C. Hence, the temperature has remained constant since before the city was built. Therefore, the climate aspect was not considered during the planning process for reducing the temperature and improving environmental comfort. It is, therefore, necessary to establish a strategy and policy that will reduce the high air temperature before the master plan is completed.

“…In this context, it has been determined that the city of Erzurum has extreme features in terms of thermal comfort compared to other cities, due to its high altitude and harsh and long winter season (Yilmaz et al, 2022a). It is considered highly important for people to be able to use outdoor spaces comfortably throughout the year.…”

In the city of Erzurum, located in a cold climate region, it is important for pedestrian walkways and parks to be usable all year round. Haydar Aliyev Street, located on the city's new development axis, serves as both a pedestrian route and a park. Meteorological data was collected hourly throughout 2021 using a Vantage Pro 2 Plus device installed at a height of 1.5 m in the study area. The scenarios were analyzed using the ENVI-met BIO+ Science Software, with August (summer) and January (winter) identified as the hottest and coldest months, respectively. Sky View Factor (SVF) analysis was conducted using fisheye lens photos taken from different points in the area. Four different landscape design scenarios were created for the study area, consisting of plants, water surfaces, soil, and grass. It was found that the temperature decreased by an average of 0.2°C in the summer scenario when the number of plants was increased by 20%. Furthermore, it was determined that the deciduous tree scenario provided better thermal comfort compared to the treeless soil scenario for a pedestrian-friendly park during the winter months. The inactive water scenario for summer and winter was found to increase wind speed by a maximum of 1.3 m s-1. The study concluded that different landscape design scenarios had an impact on outdoor thermal comfort and that further research was needed in this area. Such studies highlight the need for multidisciplinary teamwork to create healthy, sustainable, and livable urban environments in designing thermal-comfortable spaces.

“…Thermal comfort significantly affects the quality of life and health status of urban residents [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Therefore, researching improvement measures for urban building thermal comfort and providing a scientific basis for urban planning and architectural design are of great importance for enhancing the quality of life of urban residents [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The method based on ArcGIS and building parameters can effectively evaluate and improve urban building thermal comfort.…”

Conducting research on urban building thermal comfort using traditional methods is timeconsuming and labor-intensive, and obtaining high-quality data over a large area is difficult. Moreover, the accuracy of publicly available climate data and building parameter data may be insufficient, affecting the research results. When dealing with complex data, errors may arise, necessitating further validation and empirical research. ArcGIS is a geographic information system software used for processing and analyzing geographic data, while building parameters encompass factors such as building morphology, materials, and greening. By conducting research on improving urban building thermal comfort based on ArcGIS and building parameters, a basis for policy formulation and implementation can be provided, guiding urban planning and architectural design. This study investigates improvement measures for urban building thermal comfort based on ArcGIS and building parameters. The classification of sample data required for urban building thermal comfort research is provided, and by combining logistic regression with ArcGIS spatial statistics and spatial analysis, influencing factors of urban building thermal comfort are explored from different perspectives, enhancing the comprehensiveness and depth of the study. A human thermal comfort model within urban buildings is constructed, and the principles for constructing an adaptive thermal comfort model are presented. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
