INFLUENCE OF AFFORDABILITY ON THE MICROCLIMATE OF THE ANANINDEUA-PA REGION
Keywords:
Microclimate, Temperature, HumidityAbstract
This study analyzes the influence of vegetation cover on the urban microclimate, focusing on temperature and relative humidity parameters. Measurements were taken in two areas with different levels of afforestation in the municipality of Ananindeua, Pará, allowing for comparison between forested and non-forested environments. The results indicate that vegetation contributes significantly to thermal regulation, promoting a reduction in maximum daytime temperatures and an increase in relative humidity, especially during periods of greater sunlight. Furthermore, it was observed that factors such as cloud cover, paving, and land use influence microclimate variations, potentially even reversing expected trends. The research reinforces the importance of urban afforestation as an effective strategy for mitigating heat island effects, improving thermal comfort, and promoting greater environmental balance in cities.
