| Tartalmi kivonat: | In the light of the changing climate the urban heat island effect delineates important tasks for researchers and for urban planners. One choice of the adaptation possibilities is to preserve and extend urban green surfaces. The quantitative assessment of the ecosystem services of green surfaces is required to meet policy objectives. In our study, we summarize the available experiences concerning the evaluation and indication of climate regulation based on results from the literature. This is followed by a brief summary of the micro- and local-scale climatic effects of urban trees, with particular regard to the modification of the factors which affect human thermal comfort. Finally we make some suggestions concerning the mapping of urban green surfaces from the aspect of human thermal comfort with regard to indicator-development aspects. |
