[Climactions project. Urban Heat Island mitigation in Rome as an opportunity for regeneration: the case study of Piazza Mancini].
Objectives: to estimate the improvement of thermal comfort at a microclimatic level after using Nature-based Solutions (NBS) and albedo mitigation strategies in a square located in a densely built-up district of the city of Rome and subject to the phenomenon of Urban Heat Island.
Design: on the basis of the microclimatic simulation results of the current conditions of the area, obtained using the ENVI-met software, several microclimate cooling scenarios were developed and simulated; these scenarios included the integration of different layers of vegetation (herbaceous, shrubby, and arboreal) with different configurations and in different quantities and of different surfaces with high albedo index.
Setting and participants: the studio area is Piazza Mancini, located in the Flaminio district of Rome.
Main outcome measures: the main outcome measures calculated from the simulations were the intensity of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) and the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) to estimate the perceived discomfort associated with heat and the potential improvement of such perceptions through the scenarios considered.
Results: the simulations based on data from 22.07.2021 showed a progressive reduction of UTCI and of the UHI in the three considered scenarios. From the first scenario, which provides for greening and replacement of the asphalt with a higher albedo, it goes to the second and third scenario, which included also changes in the structure of the square (scenario 2) and functional optimization by inserting a shading structure (scenario 3). Scenarios 2 and 3 show a decrease in UTCI of almost 7ºC and UHI of about 2ºC compared to the actual state.
Conclusions: the three presented scenarios show how it is possible to improve the conditions of the healthiness of space (reducing the UHI by about 1.5°C) and that it is possible to transform mitigation actions into opportunities for the regeneration and enhancement of urban public spaces.
期刊介绍:
Epidemiologia & Prevenzione, oggi organo della Associazione italiana di epidemiologia, raccoglie buona parte delle migliori e originali esperienze italiane di ricerca epidemiologica e di studio degli interventi per la prevenzione e la sanità pubblica.
La rivista – indicizzata su Medline e dotata di Impact Factor – è un canale importante anche per la segnalazione al pubblico internazionale di contributi che altrimenti circolerebbero soltanto in Italia.
E&P in questi decenni ha svolto una funzione di riferimento per la sanità pubblica ma anche per i cittadini e le loro diverse forme di aggregazione. Il principio che l’ha ispirata era, e rimane, che l’epidemiologia ha senso se è funzionale alla prevenzione e alla sanità pubblica e che la prevenzione ha ben poche possibilità di realizzarsi se non si fonda su valide basi scientifiche e se non c’è la partecipazione di tutti i soggetti interessati.
Modalità di comunicazione aggiornate, metodologia statistica ed epidemiologica rigorosa, validità degli studi e solidità delle interpretazioni dei risultati sono la solida matrice su cui E&P è costruita. A questa si accompagna una forte responsabilità etica verso la salute pubblica, che oggi ha ampliato in forma irreversibile il suo orizzonte, e include in forma sempre più consapevole non solo gli esseri umani, ma l’intero pianeta e le modificazioni che l’uomo apporta all’universo in cui vive.
L’ambizione è che l’offerta di nuovi strumenti di comunicazione, informazione e formazione, soprattutto attraverso l''uso di internet, renda la rivista non solo un tradizionale veicolo di contenuti e analisi scientifiche, ma anche un potente strumento a disposizione di una comunità di interessi e di valori che ha a cuore la salute pubblica.
