    ZÁKLADNÍ ÚDAJE: 11th International Conference on Urban Climate. Titles. Sydney: ICUC, 2023, č. článku 722. [ICUC 2023: International Conference on Urban Climate /11./. 28.08.2023-01.09.2023, Sydney]. ABSTRAKT: Extremes associated with climate change together with the effect of urban heat island expose urban residents to heat stress and worsen their state of mental well-being. These circumstances call for new urban design in order to improve thermal environment. Although human thermal environment and thermal comfort are actual research topics, most of the studies are based only on thermal conditions. Psychophysiological, behavioral and social factors are usually neglected in spite of the fact these are essential for comprehensive understanding and for consecutive planning of effective heat stress reduction measures. In this contribution we introduce outcomes featuring analyses of (geo)participative methods and thermal conditions in three central European cities - Prague, Pilsen and Olomouc. Firstly, a method of mental mapping in comparison with land surface temperature was implemented in studied cities. As the most thermally unpleasant locations based on mental maps (mental hotspots) were revealed busy streets and city centers. However, locations identified as mental hotspots overlapped with hotspots based on land surface temperature by less than half. In located hotspots were further suggested by respondents heat stress reduction measures, among the most frequent were high greenery and a combination of a greenery and blue elements. Furthermore, we compared long–term thermal experience based on a mental mapping campaign to a different (geo)participative method – mobile application reporting actual thermal sensation vote. Also these outcomes revealed arterial roads and exposed concrete areas as mental hotspots. Nevertheless, some locations were perceived differently in comparison between long–term thermal experience and actual thermal sensation votes. Findings of these studies can contribute to improve our understanding of complex spatiotemporal patterns of human thermal comfort in urban areas and support effective urban planning and mitigation strategies.
