The vegetation as a control system for the urban heat Islands in ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua
Keywords:
green areas, urban heat island, urban microclimateAbstract
Globally the territory has undergone a process of urbanization, which has modi ed the physical and climatological conditions as a consequence of the densi cation and construction of the urban areas, above all with the use of materials that retain the heat and that favor the phenomenon of Urban heat island (ICU), a term established by Gordon Manley in 1958 (Fernandez, 1996). This work evaluates the impact of green areas to act as a heat island control system over Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, during the summer of 2016. The methodology consisted of analyzing four green areas to determine the temperature difference between Wooded areas and non-wooded areas, recording temperatures with Hobo® sensors every 15 minutes. The results obtained showed that there is a temperature difference of 3.82 ° C between the wooded and non-wooded areas in the green area with the highest vegetation level, while the green area with the lowest vegetation level found a difference of 0, 53 ° C. However, the impact they will have on the urban area will be based on the con guration and characteristics of the same green area.
