Abstract
Recently, heat pollution peculiar to city brings some problems in various environments. Especially in road space, high surface temperature of road pavement causes a rise to excess of air temperature above ground surface. As a result, it is considered that this thermal condition has unfdvorable effect upon pedestrians or residents in summer. Therefore, in this study, the heat environment in road space from the viewpoint of pedestrian consciousness was evaluated. In addition, based on analysis of some relationships between pedestrian's perception and some physical indicator, some issues to evaluate and improve the thermal condition of urban road space were investigated.
