| description |
This research aimed to reduce the effect of the urban heat island phenomenon during the early evening hours to provide the best thermal comfort for the large numbers of visitors of the two holly shrines in Karbala. To achieve the study goal, the research carried out its practical side by using the environmental simulation program, ENVI- met, where it prepared two models for the study area, one of them is a model that simulates the reality, and the other is a model proposed by the research, in which the area was planted with a type of shade-giving trees to provide the highest possible shading rate in the area in an attempt to reduce the phenomenon of the urban heat island in the evening. The research concluded that the proposed model, whose results were calculated at nine o'clock in the evening, succeeded to reduce the phenomenon of the urban heat island in the study area by increasing radient heat and decreasing air temperature which improved feeling of thermal comfort.
