Along with the increase in urban areas across the globe, studies in the field

  • f

climatic comfort improvement have also increased. In particular, efforts to reduce urban heat island have been great in number. Also, studies

  • n

providing thermal comfort in urban areas have garnered attention.

The aim of this study within its scope was to evaluate the effects of ➢ Green areas ➢ Seasonal wetlands ➢ City center

  • n microclimate and on the thermal comfort

in the spring and summer periods.

Urban green spaces contribute to the city's microclimate with wind control, shading, reflection, and transpiration while contributing to the balancing of temperature in winters as well.

The effects

wetlands

  • n

urban microclimate are generally evapotranspiration and heat storage characteristics. Big bodies

  • f

water can slow down temperature changes by absorbing the excess heat, and wetlands, therefore, can control the climate around them.

Urban areas has big effects on urban climate by producing extra heat with their built areas, paved surfaces, dense population, lack of green areas etc. Also, built environment in the city center absorb sunlight and keep them to long time and contribute urban heat island.

city which has ‘humid continental climate’ according to the most widely used Köppen climate classification systems.

As the development of winter tourism, the city sprawled toward the Palandoken Skiing Center adjacent to it. Both in the old part of the city, (which contains the historical texture) and in the new settlement areas, there is lack of water-based landscapes and massive green spaces.

With the help of these weather stations, hourly measurements were taken in March and April (when the wetlands are active) and in the warmest months for the city, July and August. The data taken in 2017 consists of: ➢ hourly mean temperature (°C) ➢ hourly mean relative humidity (%) ➢ hourly mean wind (m/sec) ➢ hourly mean cloudiness

PET (physiological equivalent temperature) values were calculated by using Rayman Software with the climate data obtained from these three meteorological stations. PET was introduced by Höppe and Mayer. PET is defined as the physiological equivalent temperature at any given place and is equivalent to the air temperature at which, in a typical indoor setting, the heat balance of the human body is maintained with core and skin temperatures equal to those under the conditions being assessed.

It can be seen that all three areas have extreme cold stress. This extreme conditions are dominant in March-April periods, while comfortable intervals are dominant in July and August periods. On the other hand, strong heat stress is felt intensely in summer period.

After the measurements it has been found that the Dense Green Area has the lowest temperature values both in spring (2,8 °C) and summer period measurements (20,2°C). It has been observed that in green spaces humidity values reached the highest levels in the summer period measurements. But in spring time when the wetlands are active, it has been found that the humidity values of green areas are lower than wetland areas.

When wind values are examined, it has been

  • bserved that the green spaces have lower

wind levels than the wetlands and the city center both in the spring (0,4 m/s) and in the summer (0,3 m/s). When the PET values are examined, the Dense Green Station, in which lower values are obtained in terms of temperature data, had 2,8°C value higher than that of Wetland Station and positive PET values.

But, these values remained lower than those

the City Centre Station. Measurements made during the summer showed that the green station had PET values of 23.0°C , between the value of the Wetland Station (21.2°C) and of City Centre (24.9°C).

In the light of all the data obtained during the study, it has been

  • bserved

that wetlands affect the PET values negatively in cold climate, but during hot summer periods, this turns into an advantage by affecting the PET values positively. The warmer urban areas, forming an urban heat island due to the solid surfaces they contain, affected the PET values positively in cold periods. However, this situation has changed in the hot summer period as negative and temperature may cause stress.

As a result of this study, it is seen that the balancing and regulatory effect of green areas in especially hot periods are important. This effect is created by ecological activities such as shading, mirroring, humidity by

  • transpiration. All these activities yielded quite

positive results in summer periods. In addition to summer season, the green areas had positive effects PET values in cold season due to the low winds and the temperature kept on the surface of the trees.
