    Administrative planning for the effect of vegetation cover and paving materials on improving pedestrian thermal comfort for strategic street in Baghdad city

    This research focuses on studying the effect of the type of materials used in floors on the surrounding environment temperature and knowing the effect of shading on its thermal performance in open areas located in a hot and dry climate. An applied study of Al-Rubie Street in Baghdad was conducted during the summer of year 2010 as a case study. The study included taking readings of the thermal performance of a number of open spaces and pedestrian paths inside the street, and the readings were monitored on different types of floor finishes to measure the air temperature by means of temperature and humidity sensors, and then analyzed by the computer. The results of the study showed a clear effect of the types of materials used in the flooring on performance and also showed that the shade has an effective effect on improving the thermal performance of open spaces. The results proved that areas shaded by natural elements such as trees are closest to the level of thermal comfort and that the pedestrian paths protected from direct sunlight contribute to increased evaporation, which is one of the important criteria for indirect cooling used in environmental design. The study also concluded the importance of staying away from heat sources such as the movement of cars and the selection of finishing materials and the importance of applying environmental design standards in defining pedestrian paths, which positively affects the thermal performance of the environment surrounding the space. Thus, the range of thermal comfort for the users of the place can be approached.
