“…Previous bioclimatic research of the thermal comfort of Bosnia and Herzegovina covered mostly cities with over 30 000 inhabitants [2,3,4,5]. Researches involving smaller places or locations are rare [6]. Many places in the country are experiencing population decline, while a small number of larger cities are constantly growing [7].…”

This paper researches thermal comfort of the town of Ugljevik in Bosnia and Herzegovina for the year 2021, by analyzing bioclimatic index Wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT). The analysis is a continuation of the research on the bioclimatic conditions of the area of Semberija plain and Majevica mountain, which has so far covered only the city of Bijeljina, as the most urbanized area of the researched space. All five categories of the WBGT index are present during a year, with different number of days for each category. For thermal comfort the most important factors should be observed during summer months of the year, June, July and August, due to the highest number of days in categories with values over 28, that are dangerous for human organism and outdoor activities. The accent in this research was put on the number of categories that are present during one month, but also during just one day, by using mean, maximum and minimal temperatures for calculations. This type of research allows us to see how many different categories one day has.

“…For physiological parameters were used universals data that represent constants in the model. These are: metabolic heat of 135 Wm -2 , which refers to a person that is moving 1.1 ms-1, skin temperature of 32 о С, thermal insulation of 1 clo, which is achieved in a person that is resting at a temperature of 21 o C and a relative humidity of 50 % and implies a man dressed in a business suit, albedo of the skin of 30%, albedo of earth of 17% and skin moisture which represents a dimensionless size[5,8,16,17,18]. The calculation of UTCI index was done with the use of BioKlima 2.6 software package[19].RESULTSOn the research area, during the August of 2017, are present 4 categories in total: No Thermal Stress, Moderate Heat Stress, Strong Heat Stress and Very Strong Heat Stress.…”

Knowledge of the thermal comfort of an area is of increasing importance when planning space, tourism, recreation and the health of the population that lives or is currently located there. Due to the great anthropogenic changes of nature, the temperature is rising, which is expressed especially in urban environments. The impact of temperature rise is best seen in Europe by monitoring summer meteorological parameters. The research was done by analyzing meteorological parameters of the city of Bijeljina, which is a thermal island in the area of Semberija in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Meteorological parameters during the summer months are unfavorable and affect thermal comfort, which often reflects through the health of the population. For this research were observed and calculated values of bioclimatic index UTCI or Universal thermal climate index, for the month August of 2017 which was one of the hottest months in the 21th century.
