Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the effect of the different land covers of an urban park (Hyowon park) in downtown Suwon on the urban thermal variations during a hot summer. The effect of the air temperature reduction in the urban park was 4.4%-4.5% for the downtown residence (Maetan-dong). This value was about 0.8% lower than that of the outskirts residence (Sanggwanggyo-dong). The daily mean temperature, daily maximum temperature, summer day and heat wave frequency were measured under the different land covers (cement-block, grass, pine-grass, shading area and mixed forest) showed these values generally decreased under natural land cover types. Daily minimum temperature and tropical night frequency didn't seem to correlate with the land cover types. Means of thermal comfort indices (wet bulb globe temperature, heat index and discomfort index) in the shading area, mixed forest and the pine-grass types were lower than those of cement block and grass types. However the levels of those indices were equal to 'very high' or 'caution' levels in the afternoon (13:00-15:00). In the morning (06:00-08:00), thermal comfort indices of the urban park didn't correlate with land cover types. Therefore, to reduce heat stress and to improve the thermal comfort in urban parks, an increase in the area of natural land cover such as grass, forest and open spaces is required.

본 연구는 수원시 도심에 위치한 도시공원인 효원공원을 대상으로 여름철 대기온도 저감효과를 확인하고, 공원을 구성하는 서로 다른 피복유형별 특성을 파악하기 위하여 열 환경을 실측하고 분석하였다. 도시공원의 여름철 대기온도저감효과는 도심주거지 (매탄동) 대비 평균 4.4-4.5%로 통계적으로 유의하였고 (p< 0.001), 수원시의 외곽주거지 (상광교동) 보다는 약 0.8% 낮은 수준이었다. 도시공원 내 피복유형 (보도 블럭, 잔디 식재지, 소나무-잔디 식재지, 수목 차광지 및 혼합림 조경지)에 따른 열환경은 자연소재의 유형일수록 일평균기온, 일최고기온, 여름일수가 낮은 경향을 보였다. 그러나, 일최저기온 및 열대야일수는 피복유형에 따른 상관관계가 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았다. 오후시간대 (13:00-15:00)에 혼합림 조경지, 수목 차광지, 소나무-잔디 식재지의 불쾌지수 (DI), 습구흑구온도 (WBGT) 및 열지수 (HI)의 평균값이 보도 블록과 잔디 식재지보다 낮아서 자연소재의 피복 유형의 열쾌적성이 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 각 지수에 대한 등급은 모든 피복 유형에서 '가장 높음' 또는 '주의' 단계로 동일하였다. 한편 오전 (06:00-08:00)에는 토지 피복유형별 열쾌적성에 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 도시에서 열 환경을 개선하기 위하여는 초지, 숲 및 개방 지역의 토지 피복 유형을 증가하여야 한다.
