Análise do ambiente térmico urbano e áreas potencialmente expostas ao calor extremo no município do Porto (Portugal)

Abstract: A ilha de calor urbano superficial é uma das principais causas para a diminuição do conforto bioclimático em áreas onde os padrões superficiais são heterogéneos, sobretudo no verão. O município do Porto apresenta caraterísticas de uso do solo e materiais de cobertura cujas propriedades térmicas e radiativas são profundamente dissemelhantes. Neste sentido, o presente estudo procura examinar a influência da cobertura do solo sobre a temperatura de superfície, recorrendo às imagens de satélite. As temperaturas de… Show more

“…Their records are related to various benefits, such as climate change mitigation, habitat improvements, heat island reduction, increased human health and well-being, and land regeneration, among others (Forest Research, 2010). Heat islands in urban areas are associated with existing infrastructure and can be more intense and frequent as green space is reduced or eliminated (Lopes et al, 2022). Furthermore, urban green spaces convey the idea of peaceful spaces, which can be described as a soundscape with a predominance of natural sounds and a low level of artificial noises (Watts, 2017).…”

“…This uncontrolled shift is evident in contemporary urban areas, where rapid population growth has resulted in nearly half of the total population living in cities ( However, this extension has brought adverse environmental consequences, such as increased levels of air and soil pollution, the decline and fragmentation of green spaces, and the emergence of urban heat islands (UHI) (Grimm et al, 2008;Bai et al, 2017;Calfapietra and Cherubini, 2019). UHI, characterized by signi cantly elevated temperatures within urban areas compared to their rural surroundings, result from the absorption and retention of heat by urban infrastructure, a phenomenon intensi ed by human activities (Oke, 1982;Jones et al, 2008;Stewart, 2011; Oke, 2017; Ge et al, 2020; Lopes et al, 2022). The prevalence of UHI is currently increasingly heightened in lockstep with the global temperature increase caused by climate change with the occurrence of successive and intense heat waves as its striking manifestation (Coumou & Robinson, 2013;Oliveira et al, 2022).…”
