Abstract

This study present methodology for developing simplified urban environmental risk maps for mitigate urban heat islands and reduce noise pollution. This study is carried on Suzano, Metropolitan Region of São Paulo. Methods: a) Urban geospatial information gathering (topography, urban land use, green areas, high ;building, lot occupation and soil permeability); b) collection of environmental data (air temperature, humidity, urban noise) from mobile and static measurements; c) development of heat and urban noise maps using EnviMet software; noise pollution by NoiseTools software; d) integrated analysis of maps using QGIS software (Geographical Information Systems), e) development of a risk map and urban guidelines. Results show that central area is around 3o C warmer than other areas. In areas closest to the parks, relative humidity is around 5% higher than other areas. The average noise level in downtown is 67 dB and these values are above the limits allowed by standard NBR10151. The environmental risk map identified areas that could have more rain gardens and more trees to bring thermal comfort. To mitigate urban noise, it was suggested to reduce car speeds on some roads, as well as encouraging active transport as a means of getting around the center, with the expansion of the cycle path and the creation of pedestrian areas. Maps developed serve to assist authorities in developing legislation that can promote urban environmental quality
