Abstract

Roads serve as critical transportation corridors within settlements and represent the most frequently utilized public spaces. The regulation and enhancement of the microclimate environment along these roads significantly influence outdoor activity comfort, particularly in arid regions where temperature modulation is essential. This study employs field investigations and on-site measurements to conduct a comparative analysis of various road types in Tuanshan Village, aiming to identify the key spatial elements that impact the microclimate conditions of roads in arid environments. The study reveals that (1) the spatial characteristics surrounding roads are intricately linked to their microclimate environment; (2) generally, roads situated near water bodies and beneath tree canopies achieve optimal microclimatic conditions; (3) vegetation plays a crucial role in mitigating solar radiation during the regulation of the microclimate; and (4) alleys and water features positively contribute to enhancing the wind environment along roadways.

干旱区道路小气候机制及其空间构成——以团山村为例

道路是住区内重要的交通走廊，是最常被利用的公共空间。这些道路沿线的小气候环境的调节和增强显著影响着室外活动的舒适性，特别是在温度调节至关重要的干旱地区。本研究采用实地调查与现场测量相结合的方法，对团山村不同道路类型进行对比分析，旨在找出影响干旱环境下道路小气候条件的关键空间要素。研究表明：(1)道路周边空间特征与其小气候环境有着错综复杂的联系；(2)一般来说，靠近水体和树冠下的道路具有最佳的小气候条件；(3)植被在调节小气候过程中对太阳辐射的抑制作用至关重要；(4)巷道和水景对改善道路沿线风环境有积极作用。
