| Abstract | ||||
| Public spaces are the most appealing urban locations where people interact with their surroundings and organize the links between population, economics, and resources. The quality of public spaces is directly proportional to encouraging people to remain longer and offering a variety of activities. Parks and green areas, for example, give possibilities for a variety of physical exercise behaviors such as recreational strolling and sports play. It is important for people to have a thermally comfortable environment in outdoor urban places. Thermal comfort has been demonstrated to be the bedrock of a vital and functional outdoor environment. The research's major goal is to investigate and quantify the impact of numerous aspects on microclimate and human thermal comfort, as well as the impact of Urban Heat Island phenomena (UHI) and how to create Urban Green Space (UGS). The research will look at the climatic factors that influence thermal comfort, as well as the implications of different methods for improving thermal comfort in urban public places. Among these measures are shade buildings, vegetation, and water bodies. Mean (radiant temperature, wind speed, and wind direction) are the most essential meteorological parameters defining outdoor thermal comfort in a microclimate. | ||||
