Abstract

In this study we measure the activities of open spaces for mitigate severe climate on summer seasons and examin them in statistical methods in order to get the basical data for open space arrangement theory in the urban areas. The results are as follows;
1. The correlation between the minimum temperature and the greenery ocoupancy rate is clear and the regression formulas show that the 10% increase of the greenery occupancy rate will reduce the temperature 0.2-0.3°C.
2. The amounts of open spaces in small area the maximum temperature and the temperature reducing effect is more intense than the case of minimum temperature.
