Abstract

The purpose of this study is to propose effective scenarios for green areas in apartment complexes that can improve the connection between green spaces considering wind flow, thermal comfort, and mitigation of the urban heat island effect. The study site was an apartment complex in Godeok-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, Korea. The site selection was based on comparing temperatures and discomfort index data collected from June to August 2020. Initially, the thermal and wind environment of the current site was analyzed. Based on the findings, three scenarios were proposed, taking into account both green patches and corridor elements: Scenario 1 (green patch), Scenario 2 (green corridor), and Scenario 3 (green patch & corridor). Subsequently, each scenario's wind speed, wind flow, and thermal comfort were analyzed using ENVI-met to compare their effectiveness in mitigating the urban heat island effect. The study results demonstrated that green patches contributed to increased wind speed and improved wind flow, leading to a reduction of 31..20% in the predicted mean vote (PMV) and 68.59% in the predicted percentage of dissatisfied (PET). On the other hand, green corridors facilitated the connection of wind paths and further increased wind speed compared to green patches. They proved to be more effective than green patches in mitigating the urban heat island, resulting in a reduction of 92.47% in PMV and 90.14% in PET. The combination of green patches and green corridors demonstrated the greatest increase in wind speed and strong connectivity within the apartment complex, resulting in a reduction of 95.75% in PMV and 95.35% in PET. However, patches in narrow areas were found to be more effective in improving thermal comfort than green corridors. Therefore, to effectively mitigate the urban heat island effect, enhancing green areas by incorporating green corridors in conjunction with green patches is recommended. This study can serve as fundamental data for planning green areas to mitigate future urban heat island effects in apartment complexes. Additionally, it can be considered a method to improve urban resilience in response to the challenges posed by the urban heat island effect.

도시 열섬현상을 완화하기 위하여 본 연구는 아파트 단지 내 바람의 흐름과 열쾌적성을 고려하여 녹지 연결성을 향상시키기 위한 효과적인 녹지 계획 시나리오를 제안하는 것에 있다. 연구의 사례 대상지는 서울특별시를 대상으로 2020년 6월부터 8월까지 수집된 온도 및 불쾌지수 자료를 비교하여 강동구 고덕동에 위치한 아파트 단지로 선정하였다. 먼저, 연구대상지 현재의 열환경과 바람환경을 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 녹지의 패치와 코리도 형태의 요소를 고려하여 시나리오 1(패치), 시나리오 2(코리도), 시나리오 3(패치+ 코리도)의 세 가지 시나리오를 계획하였다. 이후, 각각의 시나리오별 풍속, 풍향, 그리고 열쾌적성을 ENVI-met로 분석하여 도시 열섬현상의 완화효과를 비교하였다. 연구의 결과, 패치 형태의 녹지는 풍속의 증가 및 풍량 개선에 기여하여 예상온열감(PMV)가 31.20% 감소하는 효과를 보였으며(시나리오 1), 열쾌적성 지표(PET)가 68.59%감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 코리도 형태의 녹지로 계획한 경우 바람길의 연결이 용이하여 패치 형태의 녹지 계획에 비하여 풍속이 더욱 높아지는 결과가 나타나 예상온열감(PMV)은 92.47%, 열쾌적성 지표(PET)는 90.14% 감소하였다 (시나리오 2). 녹지 패치와 녹지 코리도를 복합적으로 계획한 경우 가장 큰 풍속의 증가와 연결성을 보여 예상온열감(PMV)에서 95.75%, 열쾌적성 지표(PET)에서 95.35% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다(시나리오 3). 그러나 대상지 내에서 협소한 지역의 경우 패치형 녹지계획이 코리도형의 녹지 계획에 비하여 열쾌적성을 개선하는 데에 더 효과적으로 나타났다. 따라서, 연구의 결과에 근거하여 도시열섬현상을 효과적으로 완화하기 위해서는 패치형태의 녹지와 코리도 형태의 녹지의 계획의 복합적인 형태로 계획될 수 있도록 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 도시형 아파트단지의 도시열섬현상 완화를 위한 녹지계획의 가이드를 제시하여 도시열섬현상에 따른 회복력을 향상시키기 위한 기초자료를 제시할 수 있을 것이다.
