| Abstract |
This phenomenon ? heat island effect ? used to be confined to the largest cities in Korea, especially Seoul. However, recently this phenomenon is starting to occur in even small and medium-sized cities which are also developing rapidly. In order to analyze the heat Island Effect in Cheon-an City, measurement points were selected in commercial areas and residential areas. We measured by continuous observation and recording temperature and humidity during 13days during the fall/middle season(2007.10.10-2007.10.22), and conducted measurements for 24days during the winter season(2008.1.15-2008.2.7). We selected 4 measurement points: the main street in the commercial central area, the Bus-Terminal, at a water-space, and at a park in the commercial area. Those points selected differed in terms of ground cover. We conducted our measurements using the instantaneous method. The instantaneous measurement was used during 4 time zones and at 4 different points. The measurement targets were temperature, humidity, air velocity. We also added surface temperature as another instantaneous measurement target. We analyzed and compared the measurement result values of the 4 points. According to our results, the temperature at the water space was the lowest during all measurement times. The highest temperature was recorded on the main street which was made of asphalt. The air velocity at the park was the lowest during all times and the temperature at the park was highest during the early morning. |
