METODOLOGIA PARA ANÁLISE E QUANTIFICAÇÃO DE SOMBREAMENTO PROVENIENTE DE EDIFICAÇÕES DE ENTORNO SOBRE ESPAÇOS PÚBLICOS ABERTOS

Abstract

This article is part of a larger study, aimed at presenting a methodology to perform the estimation of shading from surrounding buildings by freely available Remote Sensing and GIS tools. For the validation, a study was conducted in Japan Square, located in an area of high urban density and high-rise buildings. In the city of Curitiba/PR. Simulations were performed during the summer solstice, the spring equinox and the winter solstice, all within a same range of hours. Visualization and quantification maps were generated for the analysis. The proposed method proved to be reliable and replicable, and due to its simplicity and integrated simulation nature, the method can be used in an automated way, allowing urban planners to apply the method in the development of master plans or urban zoning analyzes.
