Global warming and the urban heat island effect has aroused attention of research on outdoor thermal environment. As spaces often used by citizens, streets play an important role in improving In this study, six factors relating to street geometries tree configurations Busan are measured quantified form 32 typical scenarios. The degree importance these is evaluated based ENVI-met simulation results, GeoDetector introduced evaluate interactions between their impacts This study confirms significantly higher impact geometry air temperature physiological equivalent compared configuration factors. Particularly, Hb/Ws shows most significant during period. any two much than that We recommend dynamically adjusting relationship different situations improve environment, especially at noon afternoon.
