Urban heat island effect on the main roads of Panama City

Urban heat island effect is defined as the temperature difference in an urban area compared to its surroundings. These can be caused by high electrical consumption, excessive use of cars, infrastructures design and planning and type of materials used, and the decrease of the green area. Due to its p...

description Urban heat island effect is defined as the temperature difference in an urban area compared to its surroundings. These can be caused by high electrical consumption, excessive use of cars, infrastructures design and planning and type of materials used, and the decrease of the green area. Due to its presence in different cities of the world and analyzed with relevant studies, it is decided to conduct a study on the main roads of Panama City. It is proposed to investigate the existence of heat islands and their possible causes, due to their unplanned urban development. Four study areas are delimited to collect temperature data with a thermo hygrometer at a time of 8:00 am, 2:00 pm and 8:00 pm in the transition season, rainy and dry. Consequently, isothermal maps were prepared using the EBK method. As a result, differences in maximum and minimum temperatures of 9° C for the morning period, 8.1° C for the afternoon and 2.4° C for the night for the transition season were obtained; values ​​of 10.5° C for the morning, 8.1° C for the afternoon and 3.3 ° C for the night in the rainy season; and finally the dry season with 7.8° C for the morning, 9° C for the evening and 2.6° C for the night. Heat islands are confirmed and their relationship with tall buildings, car use, the use of asphalt as material for the streets, and environmental factors such as rain, clouds and winds promote the generation of them.

Estas pueden ser causadas por un alto consumo eléctrico, uso excesivo de automóviles, diseño y planificación de infraestructuras y los materiales utilizados, y la disminución del área verde. Debido a su presencia en distintas ciudades del mundo y analizadas con estudios pertinentes, se decide realizar un estudio en las principales vías de la Ciudad de Panamá. Se plantea investigar la existencia de islas de calor y sus posibles causas, debido a su desarrollo urbano no planificado. Se delimitan cuatro zonas de estudio para recolectar datos de temperatura con un termo higrómetro en un horario de 8:00am, 2:00pm y 8:00pm en temporada de transición, lluviosa y seca. Consiguiente, se elaboraron mapas de isotermas utilizando el método de EBK. Como resultado se obtuvieron diferencias de temperaturas máximas y mínimas de 9°C para el período matutino, 8,1°C para la tarde y 2,4°C para la noche para la temporada de transición; los valores de 10.5°C para la mañana, 8,1°C para la tarde y 3,3°C para la noche en temporada lluviosa; y por último la temporada seca con 7,8°C para el horario matutino, 9°C para el vespertino y 2,6°C para el nocturno. Se comprueban las islas de calor y su relación con edificios altos, uso de automóviles, el uso de asfalto como material para las calles y factores ambientales como la lluvia, nubes y vientos promueven la generación de ellas.Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá2020-07-312021-04-18T13:24:26Z2021-04-18T15:16:56Z2021-04-18T13:24:26Z2021-04-18T15:16:56Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.utp.ac.pa/index.php/id-tecnologico/article/view/282910.33412/idt.v16.2.2829https://ridda2.utp.ac.pa/handle/123456789/118212219-67141680-8894I+D Tecnológico; Vol. 16 Núm. 2 (2020): Revista de I+D Tecnológicoreponame:Repositorio Institucional de documento digitales de acceso abierto de la UTPinstname:Universidad Tecnológica de Panamáinstacron:U Tecnológica de Panamáspahttps://revistas.utp.ac.pa/index.php/id-tecnologico/article/view/2829/3502http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ridda2.utp.ac.pa:123456789/118212021-04-18T15:16:56Z
