Physical Characters of Trees And Their Effects on Micro-Climate (Case Study at Urban Forest and Green Open Space at Semarang City)

Abstract: Air temperature in cities are increasing which can cause reduce the human comfort and productivity. Urban forest can make the environment comfortable. The objectiveof the researc hwere: (1). To Determine the effects of urban forest on air temperature and relative humidity, (2). To analyze the effects of physical characters of trees ont he micro-climate amelioration and(3). To Determine species of trees which are very effective for micro-climate amelioration.The results of the research revealed that the average… Show more

“…In general, the maximum CO2 fixation occurs at midday, as well as the optimum temperature for photosynthesis which is equivalent to the air temperature during the day in its natural habitat. Temperature and relative humidity under the tree are related to the high density and area of the tree canopy [44]. This can be seen from the temperature, humidity and light intensity under the teak was lower than without shade.…”

“…The increasing temperature in urban areas globally, especially in Padang City is caused by several factors such as greenhouse gas effect, excessive carbon gas usage and fuel consumption from fossil (Astra, 2010;Supriatin & Martono, 2016;Wallington, Srinivasan, Nielsen, & Highwood, 2009). The increasing of temperatures can affect human comfort and productivity (Endes N. Dahlan, 2014).…”

“…In addition, the trees in the middle of the city can reduce the surrounding temperature by 3.46% during the early days of the rainy season (Irwan, 1994). While the trees that make up the city forest can reduce the daily temperature by 30.2 0 C with air humidity of 74% (Endes N. Dahlan, 2014). In reality, however, there was a negative linear pattern of carbon presence in Padang City from 1988, 1998, and 2008.…”
