The Goals of the Solution

• The Goals of the Solution:

  Our project is focused on a multidisciplinary assessment of thermal comfort in human settlements, we will study it in a combination of sociological and technical approaches. Comparison of the human perception of this phenomenon with the measurements based on remote sensing is the main background idea. Presentation materials for an ecological education of students, citizens and local municipalities will be the most important output of the project. It will document the dependencies between city structure and thermal regime with emhasize on the role of greenery in public spaces.
• Keywords:

  sociological survey; temperature behaviour of settlements; town greenery; remote sensing; ecological education
