La infraestructura verde como herramienta de mitigación y adaptación urbana en la ciudad de Santo Domingo, República Dominicana

Abstract: El calentamiento global es un hecho inequívoco, afectando de forma creciente los ecosistemas de todo el planeta, con el consiguiente incremento de los eventos singulares (olas de calor, inundaciones torrenciales, sequias, vendavales, entre otros). El Cambio Climático (CC), además, se ve reforzado en las ciudades por la presencia de fenómenos como la Isla de Calor Urbana, la contaminación atmosférica, la impermeabilización del suelo o el bajo albedo.En este sentido es fundamental repensar de forma radical el mo… Show more

“…To verify this, Rojas-Cortorreal et al, carried out an investigation in the city of Santo Domingo considering data from a weather station located in the "Polígono Central" as the most impacted area by urban and economic development. The climatic data were divided into triennia from 1995 to 2018, finding that the average temperature in the city of Santo Domingo increased between 0.8 • C and 1.5 • C from 1995 to 2018 [21]. Figure A1 shows the evolution of the temperature in Santo Domingo from 1976 to 2018.…”

“…Vox et al, carried out an experimental study of green walls at the University of Bari (Italy) to analyze their thermal behavior during warm and cold days [20]. Meanwhile, in 2019, Rojas-Cortorreal et al, evaluated green infrastructure as a tool for urban mitigation and adaptation in the city of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic [21]. Cui et al (2021) quantified the response of the surface urban heat island to urban greening in northern global megacities [2].…”

“…The dichotomous conflict between the environment and urbanization is mainly caused by factors such as the absence or poor urban planning, poor selection of tree species, and lack of studies or inadequate application of these in public spaces [12,13]. Although the concepts of sustainability and governance have been discursively included in urban development frameworks, the lack of technical-administrative capacities of governments limit proper implementation, good management, and planning in cities; this is added to the deficiency of public policies that contribute to improving ecosystem services in the urban context, resilience, and mitigation of the effects of climate change [14,15].…”

“…In the Dominican Republic, the factors that have contributed to the increase in temperature (from 0.8 to 1.5 • C), change in soil permeability, increase in the frequency of floods, and other meteorological phenomena that have impacted the city of Santo Domingo during 1995-2018 are urban development, poor urban planning, loss of trees in private homes due to the sale of these lands for building construction, and land replacement with asphalt [13]. Understanding what factors influence the population to conserve trees in homes or public spaces and how this is reflected in the sustainability of urban forest cover is crucial to promote public policies that contribute to the conservation of urban forests in cities as a strategy to promote resilience and adaptation in the urban context in the face of climate change.…”
