“…This is evident in, for example, connection to thermal environment research in the Fukuoka City New Green Basic Plan (2009), and mention of green infrastructure research in the Fukuoka Prefecture Climate Change Countermeasures Action Plan (2017). However, challenges remain, such as the blocking of wind corridors through previous development (Katayama et al, 1991) and difficulties in synthesising advice across government sectors (Mabon et al, submitted for publication).…”

“…Fukuoka’s activities in this area are sufficiently early and rigorous in comparison to the international context (cf Hebbert and McKilliop, 2013) to warrant particular attention. Research into water bodies (Katayama et al, 1990) and wind corridors (Katayama et al, 1991) in Fukuoka draws on remote sensing observation and field observation of wind speeds respectively to illustrate cooling effects. The connection of such evidence to policy recommendations can be seen in Environmental Evaluation , where a 1995 article sets out the value of urban greenspace in regulation of temperature and also rainfall: “Thus far, regarding the effect of greenspace on flood control due to rainfall infiltration, there has been guidance considering increase of the flood control effect by creating regulating ponds etc when large-scale developments are happening.…”

Highlights Assess role of techno-scientific expertise in governing urban environmental change. Evaluate evidence-driven built environment and greenspace policy in Fukuoka. Epistemic community shapes Fukuoka’s built environment and greenspace policy. Local history gives favourable context for environmental science in public interest. Findings nuance understanding of how epistemic communities work at urban scale.

“…Two recurring phrases throughout the 1980 and 1990s are kaiteki kankyou (快適環境, liveable environment) and machidukuri (まちづくり, loosely translated as urban development), reflecting the idea that management of the urban environment (and increasingly climate) serves the direct purpose of maintaining quality of daily life for citizens (Mabon et al, 2019a). Open space and planning a green network comes to be portrayed as having a central role within this, both in scholarly outputs focusing on green and open space as amenity (Mitsuyoshi, 1985;Asano, 1988) and also a body of remote sensing-based observational, research published outside of Environmental Evaluation addressing the thermal comfort benefits provided by green spaces in Fukuoka (Katayama et al, 1990(Katayama et al, , 1991.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to contribute to emergent understandings in research into urban climate change-related disasters (such as extreme heat), which recognise that present-day actions or failures of cities to address climate risk are rooted in a historical context.Design/methodology/approachThe paper analyses content of scientific journals produced by the not-for-profit Kyushu Environmental Evaluation Association in Fukuoka since the 1970s. The aim is to evaluate the shifting understanding and conception of a liveable urban environment within Fukuoka over time and assess how this narrative has informed capability to understand and manage extreme heat as an emergent disaster risk.FindingsThe strong technical competences enabling Fukuoka to undertake evidence-based management of risks from climate-related disasters today exist at least partially because of earlier environmental concerns within the city and an early emergence of techno-scientific competence within the city's research institutions working at the science–policy interface.Originality/valueThe findings suggest a need to avoid uncritically exporting “lessons” from apparent urban climate “success stories”, without full recognition of the historical context enabling production and utilisation of weather and climate knowledge in specific locations.

Tropical coastal areas are characterised by high levels of wind and solar resources with large potentials to be utilised for low-energy building design. This paper presents a multi-objective optimisation framework capable of evaluating cost-efficient and low-exergy coastal building designs considering the influence of the thermal breeze. An integrated dynamic simulation tool has been enhanced to consider the impacts of the sea-land breeze effect, aiming at potentiating natural cross-ventilation to improve occupant's thermal comfort and reduce cooling energy demand. Furthermore, the technological database considers a wide range of active and passive energy conservation measures. As a case study, a two-storey/two-flat detached social house located in the North-Pacific coast of Mexico has been investigated. The optimisation problem has considered the minimisation of: i. annual exergy consumption, ii. life cycle cost, and iii. thermal discomfort. Optimisation results have shown that adequate building orientation and window opening control to optimise the effects of the thermal breeze, combined with other passive and active strategies such as solar shading devices, an improved envelope's physical characteristics, and solar assisted air source heat pumps have provided the best performance under a limited budget. Compared to the baseline design, the closest to utopia design has increased thermal comfort by 93.8% and reduced exergy consumption by 10.3% whilst increasing the life cycle cost over the next 50 years by 18.5% (from US$39,864 to US$47,246). The importance of renewable generation incentives is further discussed as a counter effect measure for capital cost increase as well as unlocking currently high-cost low-exergy technologies.
