Sažetak
In this study, an evaluation of the park cool island and urban heat island intensities in Zagreb, Croatia, was conducted. Parks tend to mitigate urban heat island mostly due to natural land cover and vegetation, but they do not always have to be cooler than the built-up areas around them. The park cool island effect analyses were conducted for Botanical garden of Faculty of Science in Zagreb which is rather small in area, but it is located near the city centre in densely built-up part of the city. In the study the data measured by automatic data loggers on seven measuring points in Botanical garden and the surrounding area, as well as data measured in meteorological stations in Zagreb (by Croatian Meteorological and Hydrological Service) are used. Measurements of temperature and relative humidity in Botanical garden have started in May 2018. The intensity of cooling effect of the Botanical garden was analysed using hourly data for the selected periods of the year. Mostly the periods with the extreme observed temperatures were used. Additionally, impact of different data logger environment, as well as impact of part of the year and the day, on formation of park cool island were analysed. According to the currently obtained data the cooling effect of Botanical garden is, in general, more intense over a summer and in the afternoon (up to 1, 6 °C) than in a winter and in the morning (up to 0, 9 °C), but there were periods when the temperatures, at least in the part of the Botanical garden, were higher than in the surrounding built-up area. Impact of the Botanical garden on the variations in relative humidity were also analysed.
