In this paper, we introduce activities of a working group entitled “Working group for investigating countermeasure guideline against urban heat island of each city in East Asia”. This group has been established in the subcommittee on urban and climate adaptation, research committee on global environment, AIJ, since 2012. In the former part of this paper, we outline existing countermeasure guidelines for urban heat island in Japan, Japanese local governments, and East Asia countries, while we investigate detail comparison of targets and countermeasure menus included in each countermeasure guideline in Japanese local government in the latter part of this paper.
