Where is the heat threat in a city? Different perspectives on people-oriented and remote sensing methods: The case of Prague
Original language description
Extreme heat in urban areas has a severe impact on urban populations worldwide. In light of the threats posed by climate change, it is clear that more holistic and people-oriented approaches to reducing heat stress in urban areas are needed. From this perspective we aim to identify and compare thermal hotspots and places with favourable thermal conditions, based on three different methods – thermal walk, participatory-based cognitive mapping, and remote sensing in a Central European city. Although major hotspots in large low-rise development zones were identified by all three methods, the overall agreement between on-site thermal sensation votes, cognitive maps and surface temperatures is low. In the urban canyon of compact mid-rise and open mid-rise development, the thermal walk method proved to be useful in the identification of the specific (parts of) streets and public spaces where citizens can expect thermal discomfort and experience heat stress, e.g. crossroads, arterial streets with a lack of greenery, north facing unshaded parts of streets, and streets with inappropriate tree spacing. Cognitive maps on an urban neighbourhood scale are not specific enough on a street level, however, as a supplementary method they can help identify discrepancies between on-site sensations and thermal conditions. For further research on effective and cost-efficient urban heat mitigation, we suggest combining thermal walks with numerical model simulations.
