“…Krayenhoff et al, 2021;Tuholske et al, 2021;Zhao et al, 2014Zheng et al, 2021). The escalating urban heat stress necessitates the need for effective cooling strategies as part of urban climate adaptation efforts (Djukic et al, 2016;Dursun & Yavas, 2015). Improving the urban thermal environment has become a focal point, with efforts to alter the built-up layout (e.g.…”

Increasing the albedo of urban surfaces, through strategies like white roof installations, has emerged as a promising approach for urban climate adaptation. Yet, modelling these strategies on a large scale is limited by the use of static urban surface albedo representations in the Earth system models. In this study, we developed a new transient urban surface albedo scheme in the Community Earth System Model and evaluated evolving adaptation strategies under varying urban surface albedo configurations. Our simulations model a gradual increase in the urban surface albedo of roofs, impervious roads, and walls from 2015 to 2099 under the SSP3-7.0 scenario. Results highlight the cooling effects of roof albedo modifications, which reduce the annual mean canopy urban heat island from 0.8°C in 2015 to 0.2°C by 2099. Compared to high-density and mid-density areas, higher albedo configurations are more effective in cooling environments within tall building districts. Additionally, urban surface albedo changes lead to changes in building energy consumption, where high albedo results in more indoor heating usage in urban areas located beyond 30°N and 25°S. The scheme developed in this study offers potential for non-policy applications, like simulating natural albedo variations across urban surfaces, and enables the inclusion of other urban canopy parameters, such as surface emissivity.

“…Kar ve kış, Erzurum kenti kimliğinin merkezindeki iki kavramdır ve kentin bugünkü gelişim çizgisinde düşünülmek zorunda-dır. Kentsel aktiviteleri sürdürebilmenin soğuk iklim koşulları nedeniyle çok zor olduğu Erzurum'da, kış güneşini alan kamusal alanları tasarlayabilmek, soğuk rüzgârlardan bu toplanma alanlarını koruyabilmek, kenti yaya-bisiklet ve araç için keyifli ve güvenli olarak ulaşılabilir kılmak en temel zorunluluklardır (Dursun & Yavas, 2016). Ülkemizin en soğuk kentlerinden birisi olan yerleşimde, sıcaklık kış aylarında -30 o C'nin altına düşebilmektedir.…”

In the last decade, the awareness of climate sensitive and sustainable urban development is increased in Turkey. However, there are very few strategies managing this process at a stable, flexible and local scale. A climate-sensitive urban planning approach is the main strategy in this process requiring the effective integration of climate information into the design process especially for cold climate conditions as for all other climate zones. Since, the harsh winter conditions of cold climate cities create very challenging conditions in terms of outdoor design and outdoor comfort. It also directly affects the quality of life. These challenging conditions make cold climate-sensitive urban design principles and other application tools essential for winter cities. By this way, it is possible to positively change the effects of weather on the quality of life. In the light of this information, the effects of urban planning practices on microclimate of Erzurum as one of the coldest climate cities in Turkey are explained within the scope of this study. Accordingly, the analyses are conducted on four selected settlement patterns in the city within 2018-2019. The meteorological data of these settlements was obtained from the record taken from approximately 2 meters high from ground. Then, 32 climate simulations were made for these four different study areas. Additionally, thermal comfort level of the city was also evaluated at micro-scale, through these case areas. For the simulations and evaluations of thermal comfort, ENVI-met micro climatic model was used. Changes on air and surface temperatures during the winter period were investigated within the variations of design parameters. The findings show that the city is under extreme cold stress, especially in winter. It has been confirmed that urban design projects can increase outdoor comfort up to 2°C in winter. The design principles used in the projects are based on the principle of location-specific climate-sensitive urban design principles produced within the results of simulations and theoretical knowledge obtained from literature. The results of this study will contribute to the knowledge of local governments and designers. It enables them to predict the impacts of simulated design parameters in similar districts.
