Abstract

Temperature is one of the meteorological variables that can best represent the climate of urban areas. It shows obvious sensitivity to urban growth and expansion, resulting in the so-called urban heat island. “Urban climatology has made remarkable progress in dealing with problems in the process of urbanization”[1]. It serves elements such as learning contents and initiatives for environmental order or climate comfort suggestions. In recent years, the development trend of ecological city or ecological city is greater, which aims to follow the ecological principle. As a new way of sustainable development, there are more vegetation to balance the heat regulation of the city. Using different statistical data from meteorological stations, data recorder button measurement data and temperature and humidity sensor data with environmental probe, the hot city comparison between the capital and adjacent rural and semi-rural areas is carried out. These data have produced the results of encouraging sustainable development initiatives. This has led to better population habitat conditions for the next generation over the years.
