With the increase in population in cities, there is a need for new residential areas in urban
areas, and in order to meet this need, the use of open-green areas in cities is one of the biggest
reasons for micro-scale climate change in cities. Increasing building density creates a heat
island in cities and has negative effects on the urban thermal environment. Changes in urban
microclimatic conditions have negative effects on the health of urban residents. Increasing
health problems lead people to take into consideration factors such as ecological balance,
urban comfort, proximity to nature and clean environment, which were not considered
important in the past, when determining their living places. Another factor that has gained
importance recently is "Thermal comfort". Thermal comfort; These are urban climate
conditions where people feel healthier, happier and more dynamic. When the thermal comfort
value is within appropriate ranges, people feel healthier, happier and more peaceful. In this
context, when creating new living spaces for people, it is necessary to design and plan by taking
into account the comfort values of the place. Therefore, in recent years, thermal comfort has
become one of the issues that need to be taken into consideration in urban landscape planning
studies. In this context, suggestions are made in the study about the importance of thermal
comfort, environmental factors affecting thermal comfort in cities, points to be considered in
thermal comfort-oriented urban design and planning with different climate types. These
suggestions can make a significant contribution to the creation of sustainable cities.
