Abstract
In order to investigate relation between scale and temperature decrease in and near parks, temperature distribution was observed and was analyzed in four parks of different scales. Relation between the temperature decrease and ratio of green coverage was also analyzed by using regression analysis. Lower temperature in and near the parks was observed and larger cooling effect was implicated near the larger parks. The result of regression analysis showed that the increase of green coverage ratio leads the decrease of the temperaturein the parks. The degree of the temperature decrease varied according to the types of the coverage.
