In 2006, the local government of Shinagawa Ward located in the central Tokyo and we have developed the microclimate measurement network which is called Shinamoni as a new tool for Eco-Conscious Urban planning. This system is design to verify countermeasures of the heat island phenomenon, and to raise awareness of urban environment by providing real-time data on the website. The data is also used for prevention of heat attack and environmental education at elementary schools. In this paper, we introduce the operational situation and the utilization of this system.
