标题： The Contribution of Urban Morphology to the Formation of the Microclimate in Compact Urban Cores: A Study in the City Center of Thessaloniki 本地全文： 下载 作者： Georgios-Rafail Kouklis ; Athena Yiannakou 期刊名称： Urban Science 印刷版ISSN： 2413-8851 出版年度： 2021 卷号： 5 期号： 2 页码： 37-58 DOI： 10.3390/urbansci5020037 出版社： MDPI Publishing 摘要： The purpose of this paper is to investigate the contribution of urban morphology to the formation of microclimatic conditions prevailing within urban outdoor spaces. We studied the compact form of a city and examined, at a detailed, street plan level, elements related to air temperature, urban ventilation, and the individual’s thermal comfort. All elements examined are directly affected by both the urban form and the availability of open and green spaces. The field study took place in a typical compact urban fabric of an old city center, the city center of Thessaloniki, where we investigated the relationship between urban morphology and microclimate. Urban morphology was gauged by examining the detailed street plan, along with the local building patterns. We used a simulation method based on the ENVI-met© software. The findings of the field study highlight the fact that the street layout, the urban canyon, and the open and green spaces in a compact urban form contribute decisively both to the creation of the microclimatic conditions and to the influence of the bioclimatic parameters. 关键词： compact urban form; open and green spaces; urban canyons; urban ventilation; thermal comfort compact urban form ; open and green spaces ; urban canyons ; urban ventilation ; thermal comfort
