dc.description.abstractAs humans modify the character of the natural landscape in the development and city and its building process, they affect the balance in the local energy exchanges that take place within the atmosphere. The end result from these modifications of the landscape, it will influence at (local) micro scale and potentially also at the macro scale climate. With the current and upcoming drastic development in the urban area, induces the changes in the balance of the micro climate. This leads to one of the day today dangerous issue called Urban Heat island (UHI) effect which is evidently proved by the increased temperature over urban area than the surrounding suburbs and rural areas. Many researches in cities like Chicago, New York, Tokyo, etc and very few researches in India are done on this issue UHI effect to find solutions and develop design strategies. In that only very few researches are done based on micro climatic parameters and at micro scale level. Most of the studies are done in macro scale level only. As an attempt, this research initially describes the generation, causes and impacts of the UHI effect. From the literature study and micro climate based research case studies and the research methodology and the micro climatic parameters that influence the UHI intensity have been deduced by deductive methodology.. With this as base, the highly active study area —Nehru Place, New Delhi, have been selected and weather data - temperature, humidity, wind flow, etc of the study area have been manually collected for four months February 2015 - May 2015 to find the temperature variations within the study area itself. On basis of temperature variations and built form, the study area has been classified into 9 zones for further analyses. With those weather data, built form analysis, building material, sky view factor, solar exposure and shadow analyses has been done comparatively at each zone to find the causes and sources of the variation of the temperature with help of the simulation software. Also, what are the micro climatic changes in relation to UHI effect will appear if the future proposals over the study area are established is also discussed. Finally, design strategies that influences the microclimate have been developed in relation to the issues affecting the microclimatic parameters and its effect.en_US
