Abstract

For the sake of their needs, humans try to condition the environment to provide thermal comfort for their bodies. The thermal comfort needed by humans is not only influenced by thermal factors but also by the type of activity and the person^s clothes. The object of outdoor space in this study is a built environment in the form of a city park as a comfortable recreational facility for the city community, both from visual comfort and thermal comfort. So it is necessary to do research on the level of thermal comfort and the sensation felt by visitors to city parks, which will then be considered by architects to develop an optimal urban garden design. The focus of this research is the condition of the level of thermal comfort in Taman Kota Lumintang Denpasar and elements of the outer space of the City Park. In 2016 a similar research was conducted in I Gusti Made Agung Field (Puputan Field) and this year it is continued with Lumintang City Park which is also one of the city parks in Denpasar. The purpose of this study is to determine the existing thermal conditions that provide thermal comfort and the sensation felt by visitors, then it can be used to find out what elements of outdoor space affect the level of thermal comfort in city parks. So that the results of this study can be used as a basis for architects in developing and designing city parks that can function optimally. So to achieve these objectives in this study using comparison and simulation methods, by combining the simulation results of the Comfort Calculator and the sensation of thermal comfort felt by visitors at each function zoning point in the city park. These results will show a mapping of the distribution of the level of thermal comfort in each zoning. So, by mapping the distribution of the level of thermal comfort, it can be seen that the elements of Hard Scape and Soft Scape that affect each of the zoning functions of city parks.
