Abstract

This paper aims to identify the heat islands present in the urban area of Crato-CE, measuring temperature and air humidity data correlated with the geoecological and urban characteristics of the city. To this end, we adopt the conceptions of Professor Carlos Augusto de Figueiredo Monteiro (1976), who formulated the Theory of the Urban Climate System (S.C.U), identifying three channels of human perception: Thermodynamic, Hydrometeoric and Physicochemical. The work presented here focuses on the Thermodynamic channel (heat islands). For the structuring of the research was adopted the methodology of fixed points, analyzing the temperature of 9h, 15h and 21h. The bibliographic survey and the cartography of the studied area were made. The results indicate the existence of very strong to moderate varied heat islands and the collected data and possible solutions are discussed throughout the work. So, follow the work below.
