Urbanization causes changes to the urban surface and atmosphere and exposes the population to harmful effects that can affect thermal comfort and human health.The literature shows that urban heat islands have been diagnosed in most cities where studies have been carried out, with high intensities, particularly in those under the effect of continentality. However, no diagnoses have been m…
This research aims to develop a methodology to diagnose and analyze the daily evolution of the magnitude and intensity of urban heat islands in mid-sized cities in tropical and temperate climates. Hence, this, automatic temperature and humidity recorders, and thermal images of Landsat 8 will be used in two mid-sized cities, with different climatic characteristic: Presidente Prudente (Braz…
This research aims to develop a methodology to diagnose and analyze the daily evolution of the magnitude and intensity of urban heat islands in mid-sized cities in tropical and temperate climates, taking into account the characteristics of the active surface and atmospheric systems. Hence, this, automatic temperature and humidity recorders, and thermal images of Landsat 8 will be used in …
The frontiers are boundarys, this means, integration areas where the processes manifest itself by such a discontinued objective logic of landscape, or still, by a permeabiliality too accentuated between the territory fragment submitted to territorials definitions or redefinitions more, or, less, independents. This Project has how biggest objective studying differents ways of integration o…
The production of space, especially urban space, is capable of altering the mechanisms and properties of the local climate. The transformation of nature in the midst of human needs, it is an inseparable process. These effects can affect the quality of life and health of the population, since most people, on a national and planetary scale, live in cities. Thus, there is an urgent need for …
Inequality in human activities, especially during the formation of urban areas, can alter the mechanisms and properties of the local climate, which influences these areas and social groups that inhabit them. In turn, these factors also influence local climate through various means. The climate-society-environment relationship may result in diverse social and environmental impacts, such as…

The production of urban space is capable of altering the mechanisms and properties of the local climate, with the transformation of nature in the midst of human needs being an indissociable process. These alterations compose, for the most part, the framework of threats to public health through climatic phenomena. These relate directly to the concentration of inhalable particulate matter (…
Simulations with ENVI-met are a promising method to improve understanding of microclimate and design scenarios for more sustainable living conditions. The model was initially developed for temperate climates and because its basic settings do not necessarily correspond to tropical climates, it tends to underestimate daytime temperatures. To overcome this limitation and ensure that good inp…
In Brazil, the conservation and preservation of natural resources as well as the methods allowed to achieve these goals have well-defined legal frameworks. However, degradation of the urban environment and its effects on city life continue and intensify. The Brazilian academic and scientific communities have conducted research to find and offer alternative planning for urban growth and mi…
The project entitled "Urban Climate in Cuiabá / MT: The dimension of risk in areas of high Socio-spatial Vulnerability", which is proposed this stage is linked, has as main objective to assess the dimension of urban climate risk, related to the thermal field. The increase in vulnerability, risks and disasters across the planet has provoked a growing interest in this issue in recent years.…
