BUILDINGS DENSITY AND THE AIR TEMPERATURE OF URBAN AREA
Journal Title: Geographia Napocensis - Year 2012, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Buildings density and the air temperature of urban area. This paper attempts to assess the impact of air temperature increase connected with the degree of anthropogenic transformation of an area on the subjectively perceived quality of life. The area under study is the Metropolitan Association of Upper Silesia (Polish: Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny – GZM). We analyzed the average monthly temperatures in different seasons and compared with size and density of buildings in the analyzed area.The result is a methodology that involves anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic factors to assess the impact of weather conditions on the quality of life in the analyzed area.
