Overview

Randomized trial examines spatial heat risk in Seoul following greenbelt deregulation, suggesting need for urban adaptation strategies.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the impact of greenbelt deregulation on the urban thermal environment and spatial heat risk in Seoul.
  • Conducted spatial assessment of heat risk using GIS and a Heat Risk Index (HRI).
  • Performed historical before-and-after comparison in a southern district post-greenbelt removal.
  • Produced a high-resolution HRI map for the entire Seoul area.
  • Significant increase in HRI in the southern district after deregulation, indicating heightened heat risk.
  • Heat risk distribution was affected by average temperature, population density, and social vulnerability.
  • Findings highlight the importance of multidimensional assessments in urban adaptation planning.
