Ilhas de calor nos ambientes urbanos: uma análise das ilhas de calor no centro da cidade de Corrente - PI

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of urban heat islands in the city center of Corrente-PI. The accelerated and disordered growth of urbanization, the reduction of green areas, and the use of impermeable materials have drastically contributed to the increase in temperature in densely populated urban areas. The study sought to identify elements that influence the formation of heat islands within the limits of the studied area, to map the points that present the highest temperatures using data collection equipment to measure temperatures, and to establish comparisons between the collected data. The analysis of the results will offer important subsidies for the creation of sustainable proposals, such as the increase of green areas, the use of appropriate materials, as well as public policies for the improvement of urban microclimates. The study is relevant in the area of urban planning, aiming to ensure that constructions can bring thermal balance and promote the well-being of the population
