Global climate change and urban heat islands have generated heat stress in summer, which does harm to people's health. The outdoor public commercial pedestrianized zone has an important role in people's daily lives, and the utilization of this space is evaluated by their outdoor thermal comfort and health. Using microclimatic monitoring and numerical simulation in a commercial pedestrianized zone in Tai Zhou, China, this study investigates people's outdoor thermal comfort in extreme summer heat. The final results provide a comprehensive system for assessing how to improve outdoor human thermal health. Under the guidance of this system, local managers can select the most effective strategy to improve the outdoor thermal environment.
全球气候变化和城市热岛效应导致夏季热应激，对人们的健康造成危害。户外公共商业步行街在人们的日常生活中起着重要作用，其空间的利用情况可通过人们的户外热舒适度和健康状况来评估。本研究通过在中国台州的一个商业步行街进行微气候监测和数值模拟，调查了极端夏季高温下人们的户外热舒适度。最终结果提供了一个全面的系统，用于评估如何改善户外人体热健康。在该系统的指导下，当地管理者可以选择最有效的策略来改善户外热环境。
