Abstract
Social sustainability and outdoor thermal comfort have a complex but interdependent relationship. Both social sustainability and outdoor thermal comfort are significantly influenced by urban form.
Social sustainability is important in creating comfortable living environments that are conducive to human health and well-being. Thermal comfort is also essential for creating livable neighborhoods as it affects the physical environment in which people live. Walkability, which is the measure of how friendly an area is to walk, is often used as an indicator of social sustainability. Walk Score, a tool developed by Redfin corporation measures walkability.
The current walk score calculation method lacks accuracy as it is neglecting the outdoor thermal comfort and occupancy percentage of each amenity, and it depends on the distance of the amenities only.
The research assumes that there is a relation between walkability as a social sustainability indicator and outdoor thermal comfort as an environmental sustainability indicator through the urban form.
The research aims to enhance the current walk score calculation method by including PET as a main factor in the calculation method in a hot humid climate.
The research uses a qualitative and quantitative methodology to investigate the research problem using descriptive and simulation methods. The research selects Port Said Salam new city as an applied case study in Egypt.
The research demonstrates a new walk score model for urban planners to design the residential neighborhood to achieve social sustainability and create healthy, livable neighborhoods for all residents.
