This study classifies urban environments into types characterized by different exposure to environmental risk factors measured by general sense of discomfort and Heart Rate Variability (HRV). We hypothesize that a set of environmental factors (micro-climatic, CO, noise and individual heart rate) that were measured simultaneously in random locations can provide a better understanding of the distribution of human exposure to environmental loads throughout the urban space than results calculated based on measurements from close fixed stations. We measured micro-climatic and thermal load, CO and noise, individual Heart Rate, Subjective Social Load and Sense of Discomfort (SD) were tested by questionnaire survey. The results demonstrate significant differences in exposure to environmental factors among 8 types of urban environments. It appears that noise and social load are the more significant environmental factors to enhance health risks and general sense of discomfort.
本研究将城市环境分为不同类型，这些类型的环境具有不同的环境风险因素暴露程度，这些风险因素通过一般不适感觉和心率变异性（HRV）来衡量。我们假设，在随机位置同时测量的一组环境因素（微气候、CO、噪声和个体心率）可以比基于近距离固定站测量结果更好地了解人类在城市空间中暴露于环境负荷的分布情况。我们测量了微气候和热负荷、CO 和噪声、个体心率、主观社会负荷和不适感（SD），并通过问卷调查进行了测试。结果表明，8 种城市环境中，环境因素的暴露程度存在显著差异。似乎噪声和社会负荷是增加健康风险和一般不适感觉的更重要的环境因素。
