The impact of urban parks on the thermal environment of built-up areas and an optimization method.

ABSTRACT: Rapid urbanization, while transforming people's living environments, also brings a series of urban issues such as the urban heat island effect. The urban park is an effective means to alleviate the urban heat island effect in summer. How to make better use of the cold island effect formed by urban parks to improve the urban outdoor thermal environment is an important topic. This manuscript takes Xi'an as the research area, using remote sensing data as the data source and combining field surveys, to explore the cooling characteristics of the cold island effect in the urban built-up area. It is demonstrated that, the influencing factors of the cooling effect of urban park cold islands are summarized: the area and perimeter of the park, the area and perimeter of water bodies, and the area of
