  • Effect of Urbanization on the Urban Climate in Coastal City, Fukuoka
    ICUC9 - 9th International Conference on Urban Climate jointly with 12th Symposium on the Urban Environment Effect of urbanization on the urban climate in coastal city, Fukuoka-Kitakyushu metropolitan area, Japan Y. Kawamoto Yoichi Kawamoto1 1 Kyushu University, 4-9-1 Shiobaru, Minamiku, Fukuoka, Japan, [email protected] dated : 12 June 2015 1. Introduction Currently, 53.6% of the world's population is living in urban areas and that figure is predicted to continue increasing (United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division, Population Estimates and Projections Section, 2014). However, many cities are facing problems caused by urbanization. The urban heat island phenomenon, one of the urban climate problems, is a typical environmental problem encountered in dense urban areas during summer. The use of sea breeze to mitigate the urban heat island phenomenon has attracted attention in coastal cities. Statistics show that approximately 40% of the world's population lives within 100 km of the coast (World Resources Institute, 2001). Further investigation of the environment in urban areas near the coast is, therefore, important. Japan is a mountainous island nation, and therefore, most of the large cities in Japan are located in coastal areas. In this study, Fukuoka-Kitakyushu metropolitan area was targeted for investigation. Fukuoka-Kitakyushu metropolitan area is the fourth largest metropolitan area after Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, all of which are coastal cities. Within these areas, sea breezes are important factors mitigating the air temperature rise during summer. However, ongoing urbanization could be changing not only the mechanism of the energy balance on urban surface, but also the sea breeze system in large coastal cities.
