The Role of Different Planting Types in Mitigating Urban Heat Island Effects

The growth of cities and increase in their structural density lead to several problems. most important these is the formation urban heat islands decrease bioclimatic comfort levels. This study focuses on effect different planting alternatives comfort. In this context, options with only leafy, coniferous, leafy coniferous at half 4 m, 6 8 m intervals along current state area Gaziantep, Turkey were prepared. These plans simulated ENVI-met software. As a result study, plants observed have cooling approximately 2 °C – 2.5 compared ones. simulation results map obtained mixed plants, it was determined that values almost average. Relative humidity 15% higher plan conducted plants. It about 8% than ones planning. There no significant change wind speed maps. average radiation temperature maps, refreshing more leafy. found out highest achieved created using
