Malang as the second largest city in East Java province become crowded recently. The congestion almost happens everyday. The scenery of the street corridor is full of iron stacks. It is said that Malang city is less comfortable and less walkable. The decrease of this environment encourages to conduct the study (Q.S. 16:90, Q.S. 96:1-5, Q.S. 30:41). The study aimed to analyze the thermal comfort at pedestrian ways around Malang city squares, the street corridor of Merdeka Alun-Alun (MAA) and the Tugu Alun-Alun (TAA). The temperature and relative humidity were measured by multinorm instrument. The THI (Temperature Humidity Index) method was used to analyze the thermal comfort. The results showed that the THI average at TAA (27) were more comfortable than at MAA (27,5). The south side of the MAA corridor became the most comfortable with the THI value of 26,4, which the side covered by trees canopy (Q.S. 7:58). It needs to conduct next research (Q.S. 13:11), because of the change of the activities at these street corridors.

Simulation tools are widely used to model buildings in order to predict their indoor air quality and energy consumption. The prediction capability of the model is an influential factor in determining the ability of the building to be energy efficient and thermally comfortable. Thus, the validation of the developed models is crucial. In this context, this paper presents a numerical model developed using an object-oriented modelling tool based on the Modelica approach and a case study validation of this model. Then the thermal behaviour of the building and the occupants’ thermal comfort in the considered case study are investigated. The objective is to validate the developed model firstly by comparing predicted results with measured data regarding room temperature and relative humidity, and secondly by comparing the calculated thermal comfort indices (PMV and PPD) based on predicted results and measured data. The results show good agreement between simulations and experiments, with a maximum error in room temperature and relative humidity of 1.7 °C and 4.5%, respectively, and only 1% and 1.5% difference between averaged values of PMV and PPD, respectively.

Planning and policing are two critical racial projects in the racial state. Planning scholars’ understanding of the police usually focuses on the police violently removing people from urban space, yet critical criminology literature shows their function to be more diverse. I employ an exploratory case study, centered in the South Side of Chicago, to develop propositions to guide emergent research that centralizes the police within planning. The propositions (1) impel further investigation into how police not only exclude people but also define who belongs and (2) draw attention to how planning institutions can create new forms of police.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the relation between some climate parameters inside and outside the stable in the course of the year. Investigations were carried out from 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008 at the School Farm in Žabčice. We monitored the following micro-climate pa­ra­me­ters: temperature (°C), relative humidity (%) and the temperature-humidity index (THI) inside and outside the stable. We used the statistical programme UNISTAT version 5.1.11 to calculate the average monthly temperatures, relative humidity and the THI inside and outside the stable.Measurements carried out throughout the whole year revealed that the average daily outdoor temperature was always lower than the temperature monitored inside the stable. The differences between the outdoor and indoor temperatures were more marked in winter; in summer the differences were considerably lower. The coefficient correlations confirmed this finding; the temperatures were the highest in July and the lowest in autumn and winter. The same results and tendencies were monitored in terms of the average daily THI values. Much like the temperatures also the differences in high average daily values of relative humidity between the outside and inside environment of the stable were lower. Since the relative humidity was higher in winter than in summer the differences between the indoor and outdoor stable values were more marked in summer than in winter. In contrast to the temperature and THI, in one half of the cases the average daily relative humidity was higher outside the stable than inside and vice versa.

The aim of this work was to verify if the presence of trees and its height in formed silvipastoral systems with eucalyptus planted in rank can modify the microclimate and improve the environment for bovine raising during the day in summer. It was evaluated the microclimate of the environment in formed silvipastoral systems in rank of eucalyptus with 8 m, 18 m and 28 meters of height, compared to a system no shade in the summer. The experimental design was a split plot with six hour time in sub parcels. The systems are made up of parcels and the months as block in four replications and the interaction hour × system. The air temperature, black globe temperature, relative humidity and wind speed were observed to create the following indexes for thermal comfort: temperature-humidity index; black globe-humidity index; heat load index and the radiant thermal load. Excepted for the relative humidity, there was interaction for time × system for all variables and indexes. Interaction occurred for: air temperature at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.; wind speed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; temperature humidity index at 10 a.m. and 12 p.m.; black globe temperature, black globe humidity index, heat load index, and radiant thermal load at all the hours. During the summer, the system with shade of 28 m trees had the lowest average of black globe temperature; wind speed; black globe humidity index; radiant thermal load index; and heat load index. There was a reduction of wind speed average in systems 8 m, 18 m and 28 m trees in, respectively, 20.7; 50.0 and 48.0% in relation to no shade system; however it was not proportional to the height, with influence of the rank porosity and pantries height. Nevertheless, for radiant thermal load index the reduction was proportional to the height of the trees with 10.24; 12.49 and 20.76%, respectively, for 8 m, 18 m and 28 meters of height. There was a reduction of the thermal stress in the environment due to the presence of trees, being the heat load index thermal the index that better demonstrated the effect, despite of not being proportional to the rank height.

Jharkhand is a state in the eastern part of India. The tropic of Cancer (23 and a half degree north line) passes through Ranchi district in Jharkhand. Mud huts with burnt clay tiled roofs in Ranchi district in Jharkhand are an integral component of the state’s vernacular architecture. They come in various shapes, with a number of them having a courtyard type of plan. In general, it has been stated that courtyard type dwelling units show better thermal performance during summer and winter. In this paper, three types of mud huts with courtyards are taken as a study and through temperature measurements in the south side rooms and “Ecotect-Autodesk” (Version 2011) software simulations, their thermal performance during the hotter and colder parts of the year are observed. Thereafter, based on the study, the thermally better performing dwelling types in summer and winter are identified among the three sub-types studied. It is found that all courtyard type dwellings do not necessarily show better thermal performance in summer and winter in composite climate. Certain recommendations with respect to increasing thermal comfort in general in courtyard type huts are made.

Abstrak Pulau Jawa mengalami peningkatan jumlah penduduk dari waktu ke waktu. Peningkatan ini berdampak pada tingginya aktivitas antropogenik yang menghasilkan emisi yang diantaranya dapat menyebabkan perubahan suhu udara. Suhu udara sangat berkaitan dengan thermal stress yang mempengaruhi kenyamanan bahkan kesehatan manusia. Thermal stress dapat diukur dengan Temperature Humidity Index (THI) dengan suhu udara rata-rata permukaan dan Relative Humidity (RH) sebagai variabel bebas. Penelitian ini menganalisis sejauh mana perubahan suhu udara permukaan, RH dan THI terhadap waktu. Kemudian daerah dengan perubahan THI yang paling besar akan dianalisis keterkaitannya jumlah penduduk menggunakan korelasi Pearson. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui terjadi perubahan suhu udara udara permukaan sebesar -0.27 hingga 1.17⁰C diikuti perubahan RH sebesar -2.21% hingga 0.77% dan terjadi perubahan THI hingga 0,72⁰C sejak 1981 hingga 2019 terutama di pesisir utara bagian barat Pulau Jawa. Selain itu, THI di sekitar DKI Jakarta juga memiliki nilai korelasi simultan yang tinggi dengan jumlah penduduk sebesar 0,81, korelasi lag 1 tahun sebesar 0,69, sementara korelasi lag 2 tahun sebesar 0,67. Temuan ini mengindikasikan peningkatan jumlah penduduk berdampak terhadap peningkatan THI pada DKI Jakarta. Abstract Java has experienced an increase in population from time to time. This increase has an impact on high anthropogenic activity which results in emissions, which can cause changes in air temperature. Air temperature is closely related to thermal stress which affects comfort and even human health. Thermal stress can be measured by the Temperature Humidity Index (THI) with the average surface air temperature and Relative Humidity (RH) as the independent variable. This study analyzes the extent of changes in surface air temperature, RH and THI with time. Then the areas with the greatest THI changes will be analyzed for their correlation using the Pearson correlation. Based on the research results, it is found that there has been a change in surface air temperature of -0.27 to 1.17⁰C followed by changes in RH from -2.21% to 0.77% and there has been a change in THI to 0.72⁰C from 1981 to 2019, especially on the north coast of the western part of Java. In addition, THI around DKI Jakarta also has a high simultaneous correlation value with a population of 0.81, a 1-year lag correlation of 0.69, while a 2-year lag correlation of 0.67. These findings indicate an increase in population has an impact on increasing THI in DKI Jakarta.

ABSTRAK. Fenomena UHI (Urban Heat Island) mengakibatkan suhu udara perkotaan menjadi tinggi, sehingga menurunkan kualitas lingkungan kota. Untuk dapat meningkatkan kualitas kota dan mengimbangi pertumbuhan kota, maka pemerintah menggalakkan pengembangan infrastruktur hijau perkotaan melalui pengembangan Ruang Terbuka Hijau (RTH). Kota Kendari memiliki beberapa ruang terbuka yang beberapa diantaranya merupakan pusat aktifitas dan interaksi masyarakat kota, diantaranya Taman Walikota dan Pelataran Tugu Religi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif untuk mengetahui kondisi iklim mikro dan kenyamanan termal ruang terbuka. Data-data yang dikumpulkan berupa karakteristik dan nilai indikator iklim mikro yang meliputi suhu udara, kelembaban relatif, dan kecepatan angin pada sejumlah titik ukur pada siang hari. Data yang dikumpulkan dianalisis menggunakan uji Statistik Independent T Test untuk mengetahui perbedaan iklim mikro antara kedua lokasi dan analisis Temperature Humidity Index (THI) untuk mengetahui tingkat kenyamanannya. Hasil dari uji statistik menunjukkan tingkat perbedaan yang tidak sigifikan antara kedua lokasi, meliputi suhu udara (sig.=0,283); kelembaban relatif (sig.=0,115); dan kecepatan angin (sig.=0,105). Sementara itu, melalui analisia THI menunjukkan nilai index tidak nyaman hampir terjadi pada keseluruhan titik ukur. Nilai THI tertinggi pada lokasi Taman Walikota terletak pada titik A5 (THI=31,9), yaitu pada daerah memiliki kecepatan angin rendah karena posisinya pada bagian tengah kawasan. Sedangkan pada lokasi pelataran Tugu Religi, nilai terendah THI diperoleh pada titik B9 (THI=33,12), yakni titik yang sebagian besar material permukaan lahannya berupa aspal. Kata kunci: ruang terbuka, temperatur, angin, kelembaban relatif, Temperature Humidity Index ABSTRACT. The UHI (Urban Heat Island) phenomenon affected urban air temperatures become high, which decreases the quality of the city environment. To be able to improve the quality of the city and to balance the growth of the city, the government promotes the development of urban green infrastructure through the development of Green Open Space (RTH). Kendari City has several open spaces, some of which are the center of the activities and interactions of urban communities, including the Taman Walikota and the Pelataran Tugu Religi. This research is a descriptive study to determine the microclimate conditions and thermal comfort of open spaces. The data collected is in the form of characteristics and values of microclimate indicators which include air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed at some measuring points during the day. The collected data were analyzed using the Independent T-Test Statistic Test to determine the differences in microclimate between the two locations and the Temperature Humidity Index (THI) analysis to determine the level of comfort. The results of the statistical tests show a significant level of difference between the two locations, including air temperature (sig. = 0.283); relative humidity (sig. = 0.115); and wind speed (sig. = 0.105). Meanwhile, through THI analysis, the uncomfortable index value almost occurs at the whole measuring point. The highest THI value in the location of the Taman Walikota is located at point A5 (THI = 31.9), which is in the area with low wind speed because of its position in the central part of the city. Whereas in the location of the Pelataran Tugu Religi, the lowest value of THI is obtained at point B9 (THI = 33.12), which is the point where most of the surface material in the land is asphalt. Keywords: open space, temperature, wind, relative humidity, Temperature Humidity Index

An experiment was conducted to find out the most influential factors affecting pig’s body temperature (PBT). For this purpose, eight environmental parameters and three growth related factors were considered as variables. Among these factors, seven environmental parameters, including temperature, CO2, temperature-humidity index inside and outside the pig’s barn and relative humidity inside the barn were taken as input variables for artificial neural networks (ANN) and multiple linear regression (MLR) models due to their good correlation (r ³ 0.5) with PBT. The results showed that ANN and MLR models had the lowest R2 values (0.81 and 0.69, respectively) and the highest RMSE (1.17 and 1.48, respectively) when they were run without temperature-humidity index; however, the maximum R2 (0.90 and 0.75, respectively) and minimum RMSE (0.92 and 1.40, respectively) were found without relative humidity. Based on the results, the temperature-humidity index could represent an important indicator in registering early warning signs of PBT status alternations.
