Abstract:Due to the worsening of climate and environmental changes during urbanization,the frequent occurrence of extreme weather events,and the direct impact of high temperature and cold wave on human health,a combination of microclimate field measurement and questionnaire surveys was used to study the thermal comfort of urban parks in summer and winter.The results showed that:(1)There was a notable difference between the subjective perception and the evaluation index of the climate comfort in human settlements.The mood of the tourists,their enjoyment of the environment,and their physical activity all affected the thermal comfort.(2)Measurement points with rich plant coverage were effective in cooling,regulating heat index,and increasing humidify in both summer and winter.Plants were more effective at regulating microclimate in summer than in winter,and well-maintained green space positively influenced the local microclimate.(3)In the Pearson correlation analysis of both summer and winter,wind speed had the greatest impact on human comfort,showing a significant negative correlation.
