O clima urbano no subtropical: um estudo de caso sobre a temperatura do ar em Erechim-RS

Abstract

The relationship between humans and climate elements is bidirectional: human actions, that is, the modifications and changes that result from the production of space, influence the climate, and climate change has direct impacts on society. This research aims to investigate the variation in air temperature in the urban area and surrounding areas near Erechim; To this end, a systematic bibliographic review was carried out in order to understand the overview of the theses and dissertations developed. After this, 4 Thermo-Hygrometers, from the Weather Hub brand, were installed, the collection points were characterized, for approximately 6 months of the year, of which the air temperature element was used, in the months of May, June, July, August, September and October of the year 2023. The results indicated the presence of heat islands, where the absolute maximum amplitudes have the highest values at 9 pm, in the months of May, June, August and September and at 9 am in June, followed by at 3pm in October. Furthermore, points 01 and 04 stand out with the lowest temperatures, points 02 and 03 had the highest temperatures, which is associated with artificial coverage (concrete, asphalt, buildings), at night there is a tendency for these temperatures to be high. when compared with the other points. Settlement and infrastructure planning, land use planning and an integrated approach to the physical, natural and social infrastructure of the city and countryside stand out as important.
