The perception on human thermal comfort and microclimatic condition in a park with different landscape designs

The microclimate and human thermal comfort benefits of urban park are important as the environmental conditions will be affected according to surrounding landscape and will consequently affect those who use the park for recreational activities. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the influence o...
