Abstract

This study investigates the heat mitigation effects and thermal comfort improvement due to urban parks during summer. Self-developed monitoring devices to measure long-term microclimate data were installed in three spots, including the park plaza, waterside, and roadside in Seoul Forest Park, and measurements were taken from July 9 to July 30. The results of the measurement are as follows. The daily temperature of the park plaza and waterside were found to be 2.7℃ and 2.9℃ lower than the roadside and 5.5℃ and 7.4℃ lower than the roadside from 10:00 to 16:00. In addition, the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) measurement was applied to measure the thermal comfort at each point. In the average daily analysis, a significant difference was found between the park plaza, the waterside, and the roadside, and a greater difference was found between 10:00 to 16:00. Also, although there was no significant difference due to the weather condition, a statistically significant difference was also found in the average PM10 and CO2 concentrations. It is found to be higher in the order from the roadside, park plaza, and waterside for PM10 concentration and park plaza, roadside, and waterside for CO2. In sum, although the difference in measured microclimate data and thermal comfort index results were different depending on the time and weather conditions at the three points, the park plaza and waterside, which are located inside the park, showed improved thermal comfort conditions and lower temperatures than the roadside outside the park.

본 연구는 여름철 도시 공원의 열환경 개선효과를 측정하고 지점별 기상 측정 결과의 차이를 살펴보기 위하여 서울숲 공원 내외부에 측정 장비를 설치하고 측정값을 분석하였다. 특히 공원의 지점별 기상 측정값의 차이를 정밀하게 살펴보기 위하여 서울숲 광장부와 수변부, 공원 주변 도로부 3곳에 기상 측정 장비를 설치하고, 7월 9일에서 7월 30일 까지의 미기상 관측 자료를 측정하였으며 열 쾌적성 지표를 살펴보는 UTCI 분석을 통해서 공원의 지점별 열환경 개선 효과를 살펴보았다. 분석의 결과는 다음과 같다. 전체 측정 기간을 기준으로 서울숲의 온도는 광장부와 수변부가 주변의 도로부와 각각 2.7℃ 및 2.9℃ 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 온도가 높은 10시에서 16시 사이 시간대를 기준으로 비교하였을 때에는 각각 5.5℃ 및 7.4℃로 매우 큰 차이가 나타났다. 또한 UTCI 분석을 통한 열 쾌적성 비교에서는 도로부와 공원부, 녹지부 사이의 유의미한 차이가 발견되었으며 또한 강한 햇볕으로 기온이 높은 10시에서 16시 시간대에 더욱 큰 차이가 나타났다. 이 외에 함께 측정된 미기상 자료들 중 미세먼지의 경우 측정 기간인 22년 7월 전체적으로 높은 날이 없었기 때문에 큰 차이가 나타나지는 않았으나 수변부, 광장부, 도로부 순으로 낮게 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났고, 이산화탄소 농도의 경우 광장부, 도로부, 수변부 순으로 높게 나타났다. 종합적으로 공원 내 두 지점에서는 시간대에 날씨에 따라 미기상 측정 결과와 열 환경 개선효과의 차이가 다르게 나타났으나, 공통적으로 공원 내 녹지부, 수변부는 모두 공원 도로부 지점과 비교하여 온도와 열 쾌적성 측면에서 유의미한 개선 효과가 나타났다.
