  1. 6. Trees as heat stress mitigators. The frequency of heat and cold stress in a redevelopment area in Borås, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Simon Wiklund Wagersten; [2023-06-22]
    Nyckelord :Cold stress; heat stress; SOLWEIG; thermal comfort; TreePlanter;

    Sammanfattning : As future climate is predicted to generate higher temperatures as well as more frequent extreme weather scenarios, it is essential to plan to mitigate the effects of climate change. In an attempt to mitigate one effect of climate change, this master’s thesis examines both the heat and cold stress at the area Pulsen in Borås Stad, both as the conditions are today, and after the implementation of a new detail plan.

  3. 7. Pedestrian movement and exposure to heat stress in Gothenburg, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Madeleine Cleverstam Vikström; [2023-06-22]
    Nyckelord :urban climate; heat stress; Space Syntax; pedestrian movement; urban morphology;

    Sammanfattning : An area in Gothenburg, Sweden, representing various planning designs and microclimates, were investigated, in order to estimate how the study area manifests potential pedestrian movement patterns and urban climate conditions in terms of heat stress. The study is based on the Geographical Information System (GIS) where pedestrian movement and heat stress is calculated. LÄS MER

  4. 8. CHANGES IN URBAN GREENERY DURING THE 2018 HEAT WAVE – A CASE STUDY FOR GÖTEBORG USING REMOTE SENSING

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Ivan Ruzic; [2023-06-21]
    Nyckelord :heat wave; urban trees; NDVI; remote sensing;

    Sammanfattning : Urban vegetation plays a crucial role in diverse urban microclimates. The numerous ecosystem services provided by vegetation, particularly trees, ensure greater quality of life and thermal comfort regulation. Yet, not all trees are immune to extreme weather events, such as droughts and heat waves, especially in cities. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Effekterna av torka på urbana träd

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap; Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Mina Johansson; [2023-05-08]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Med ett förändrat klimat ökar klimatstressen genom förhöjda temperaturer och förändrad nederbörd. Det leder till att extremväder som torka blir mer vanligt och städer är extra utsatta. LÄS MER

  7. 10. ACCESS TO URBAN COOL AND GREEN SPACES FOR OLD ADULTS IN GOTHENBURG – A GIS-BASED ANALYSIS OF RADIANT HEAT

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Robert Klein; [2023-01-19]
    Nyckelord :urban climate; heat stress; mean radiant temperature; SOLWEIG; urban vegetation; urban planning;

    Sammanfattning : Old adults are particularly vulnerable against heat stress. Considering the ageing society and the projected increase of heat events, planning for heat-resilient urban environments for old adults will become increasingly important. LÄS MER
