CASTILLO, Ana Laura; CORREA, Erica  and  CANTON, María Alicia. Impacto del diseño de modelos urbanos públicos y privados sobre la respuesta térmica del sector de piedemonte. El caso del Área Metropolitana de Mendoza, Argentina. Cuad. urbano [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.30, pp.161-161. ISSN 1853-3655.  http://dx.doi.org/10.30972/crn.30304933.

The hillside urbanization of the Mendoza Metropolitan Area has generated a wide range of negative impacts on the territory, modifying its natural conditions. These impacts caused an increase in the absorption surfaces and the retention of solar radiation, promoting the intensification of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) and generating satellite UHI focus. This work proposes to carry out a comparative analysis of urban schemes of public and private origin by simulating their thermal behavior. This allowed identifying the relationship between the design of these schemes and their impact on the microclimatic behavior of the area. The results obtained show that the strategy with the greatest impact is the control of solar radiation. In this sense, design variables such as the width of the road channels and the permeability of the forest, associated with the typology and orientation of the urban plot have a significant impact on the thermal response of the whole.

Keywords : Hillside; urbanization schemes; microclimatic behavior.
