Abstract
In this research, we aimed to evaluate the influence of the thermal load of citizens going back and forth in urban area in summer. We conducted micro-meteorological observations along the subjects' movement as well as their physiological (Skin temperature, core body temperature) thermal psychological responses (thermal and comfort sensation) around the Tokyo station. SET* in the urban district changed ranging from 25 °C to 45 °C, reflecting the urban molophology, such as the height of the building and its density, and the distribution of street trees. The skin temperature showed a high correlation with SET*. Core body temperature was not greatly influenced by heat stress. The thermal sensation correlated with SET* reasonably.
