Abstract

Rapid increase of high Urban Heat Island (UHI) intensity, as one of the main contributors to climate change, is an urgent environmental issue in high dense cities today. The development of outdoor environment influences the pattern and behavior of city dwellers. Climate and physical features parameters affect the thermal comfort of humans doing their outdoor activities, such as walking. However, climate factors in identifying the success of an outdoor design is not frequently discussed especially in the tropical context. This study aims to determine the effect of microclimate on the sidewalk in Sudirman and Thamrin Street with spatial variations on thermal comfort by using Envi-met and Rayman simulation to determine the effect of thermal comfort on the comfort of walking activities in outdoor space. The level of walking comfort was analyzed using the correlation model of Outdoor Thermal Comfort (OTC). This study pinpoints that Sky View Factor (SVF) significantly correlated to thermal comfort (T_mrt and PET). This study also reported that 5 pm is the most comfortable time for walking while the least comfortable is at 1 pm in less and moderate shaded areas.
